WILLOUGHBY, Ohio -- A northeastern Ohio man has drawn criticism from "American Idol" over a Web site that gives fans a download that helps them phone in multiple votes for their favorite contestants.

Let' see. AI wants people to vote for their favorite contestants AND they allow for multile voting. So, their issue is what exactly?

It has taken issue with DialIdol.com, created by 30-year-old Jim Hellriegel Jr., of Mentor-on-the-Lake. Hellriegel uses data from the calls to post predictions about which contestants will win.

How many websites are there that make predictions? Considering that their predictions are 'close' but not dead on 'correct' it seems they are griping over nothing.

Simon makes predictions and he is a judge for crying out loud. There's a gripe. Judges should be impartial. jmo

At this point tho, (I agree he should keep his predictions to himself tho, since he sees the votes), he's not really a judge anymore. He's just a critiquer:).
