I don't like Scott, but I think it would be funny if he won and then Simon had to give him a recording contract. The guy can barely stay on tune and his ghetto accent is so...played :-)

Can anyone say....Justin Guarini.

He had no talent at all.

Yet he came in second.

Frankly, I fail to see the attraction or talen of any of the remaining candidates.

"At least now it makes sense why the talented ones are getting voted off and the ones that should be gone aren't."

"Idol better figure out a better way of doing this or it's over, at least for this watcher."

I think the need to go the route of Nashville Star. They only let you vote once from your phone. You need multiple phone numbers to vote more than once. Also there is on-line voting. I was told that was one vote per email address.

That will put a stop to those who keep redialing the same number over and over again.

"Why are people so dumb that they watch or care about crap on TV? "



Why are non-TV watchers so dumb that they think a post in a TV-watching thread is going to change anyone's viewing habits?

He’s dark, like a singing serial killer or something.

Thanks for checking in Captain Culture.

A quick look at your “In Forum” posts reveals you setting the record straight on the background of that cultural monolith, Larry from the Three Stooges.

Cultural schmulture, wiseguy, hand me that wrench.

Sometimes Scott seems to be confused about his race.

I think the need to go the route of Nashville Star...

...and get genuinely talented musicians.

It's typical of the younger crowd.

My son-in-law, who is 24 talks and acts like he grew up in the ghetto.

But he actually grew up in a moderate WHITE neighborhood.

You can thank RAP and HIP HOP for that.

I commented yesterday about this site that it probably had little effect and was little known. I guess I was wrong. Maybe it is the reason Scott is still on the show.

I love American Idol. It is one of the only shows that my family can sit together and watch. I wish others wouldn't feel like they have to ruin it because they don't like it. Just don't watch it if you don't like it.

I've always liked Scott's voice - he reminds me somewhat of Barry White. I was torn on whether he looks like a serial murderer or a white supremacist (until I heard he was 1/2 black).

Is Paula hopped up on goofballs or is she drinking bottles of gin? She is a mess!
Also, Crarie Underwood has been off a little. Vonzell has the looks and can sing.
Plus, I watch this with my girlfriend. Please no Barney Frank jokes.

Anwar sucked. He deserved to go. But Scott and the blonde boy deserved to go before Anwar.

Any show that starts out with 4 black, 4 white, and 4 brown girls and 4 black, 4 white, and 4 brown boys is rigged from the get go.

This is just more PC b.s. being sold as "America's Choice" or "America's Ideal".

Saying those 24 contestants were the legit best of the best would be like saying Barry, Sammy, and Mark are legit.

Bo is the only one on that show who doesn't sound (at best) like every other "pop star" on the radio. He actually improves on the originals in terms of vocals, which is impressive.

Constantine was painful when he was doing any rock stuff. Not just a bar band singer -- but a bad bar band singer. I think the 16 year old girls thought it was "American Boyfriend", not "American Idol", when they voted. He was somewhat decent when he backed off with the 'tude a bit and just sang.

Anwar and Scott had/have the same problem. A nice sounding voice but with very limited range. They sound great the first time you hear them, but the lack of range makes every performance sound the same after awhile. Boring as hell.

I wouldn't mind Vonzell winning, and Carrie has some vocal talent but not a clue how to use it.

I tried telling you guys about this yesterday, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1393026/posts?page=19#19
but some of you doubted me. The VoteForTheWorst'ers are gaining steam. They began last year, remember how long John Stevens (AKA the young crooner) stayed around last year??
