Ah but it's not a question of what he has done someplace else, it's what he's done on this show. Frankly I think he's a fun act and great to see at a club. He has some talent and he has certainly shown it. I just haven't seen him really dominate anything vocally.
Hi. I work for American Idol and would be so fired if Anyone involved in the show ever found out that I was writing on this board. Which is why I took many precautions in how my letter here made it to this board. It wasn't an easy task. But after finding out what I have, I'm quitting anyway. I just can't talk until then, but I see that I need to speak now. After reading so much of the board, I just had to reply to some of the recent posts. There are certain things I think the public has a right to know and that is that yes, the show is now rigged. Only season one was as is. Bo was the actual winner last year by pulling in more votes. But the show did not want to go with a Rocker. The Show has since received many hate letters about the fact that Bo did not win because A.I just did not want to support a Rocker. Meanwhile, they still had to stick there noses into his debut album because they will do Anything to make as much money as possible until the show itself is found out as a Fraud. So, after receiving all the letters about Bo, and Constantine too, They already knew exactly what they were looking for before the season even began and before you, the viewers even had a chance to pick a favorite. Originally, Ace was their choice because he has the Constantine look. But he is no Constantine when it comes to vocals. Only in face value does he compare to him. So as of right now, you are correct. There plans are to give Chris the win. Sad part is that no one even likes him nearly as much as they did Bo. They Loved Bo, they just didn't want to go with a Rocker. Which is why it was given to Country Carrie. But since Chris is the closest thing to a rocker that they could find this year, they want to go with him, and he knows this and has gotten away with things no other contestant has ever gotten away with and he has gotten very cocky about the whole thing. The ONLY way this will NOT happen is if you good people keep up your posts about KNOWING all about the fix. They have people, where that is their job ... to just sit their and read A.I message boards and watch what you all say in A.I chat rooms. How do you think they know what is being said? And about the false rumors some people start? They are watching. Always watching. This is how some of the posts have been brought to my attention. But the ONLY rumors that I've read that need to be corrected are the following:
Katherine is not pregnant.
Neither Ryan or Ace are gay (both straight)
and if Kellie is faking being stupid, then she is really good, because I personally haven't witnessed one moment of her having a clue unless it had to do with boys. She is a lot more trampy than you would think. Beyonce's father does manage Beyonce's career and knows Paris' family, so he is already looking to sign her.
Yes, Bucky is married,
Elliott is diabetic, ,p> Taylor is gray & has been for years,
Chris has no children of his own, just married into kids and his wife did just have a hysterectomy.
Everything else I have read on here is true. So I have read a few posts myself. But there is one particular post that really struck a cord with me. The one about "Handing Chris the show on a silver platter" or something to that effect. If it is still there, I will post this on that thread as well. That person is smart because they have really figured out a lot of the ways that the show cheats. --Shoving the ones A.I wants to win down your throats, giving them sob stories, giving them all the face time in the commercials, giving them light laser shows and extra help for there stage performance and you are so right about them possibly putting Chris in the bottom Three one week, just to throw you off and then get more people to vote for him the following week.-- It's all a big game to them and yes, even the phone lines. The idols all DO have more than one line each. So you are correct on that as well. All they have to do is shut off a few of the other contestants lines and you will call for that favorite of yours and it will be busy, leaving you to assume that your favorite is doing well. When in fact, there lines have been cut from 4 to 2. Whereas, the one they want to win will have 6 lines open. It's all about Money. Did any of you know that A.I even owns the phone lines you vote on every week?? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY ... MONEY!!
And just for the record, these so-called SOB stories are NOT all True, in fact some of the ones with these so-called sob stories are NOT very nice people, regardless of what the camera led you to believe. Seeing them playing with their children or crying cause they got through to the next round cause they have nothing else in there lives and it's there dream YADDA
It is A Dream Come True for each and every one of them. You don't need a sob story shoved down your throat if you are actually a good singer! Elliott may have mentioned that he is somewhat deaf in one ear. But he is NOT the one who said he is a diabetic. That was dug up by real news people. Elliott did NOT try to use it for sympathy votes. The show sees him as ugly, unmarketable and no threat to their chosen winner. That is why he is there, because they saw him as no threat. But wrong, because Elliott has a huge fan base, regardless to the fact that he was in the bottom 3 last week. But if anyone is really getting them nervous, it is Taylor Hicks. The man who honestly deserves to win this competition. You should hear him sing in person. It's brilliance. All they really loved was the fact that he is a young man with gray hair and they knew the whole 'young guy with gray hair thing' would cause a stir. Has anyone mentioned Taylor's real mother? No. Could there be an actual story there? You wouldn't know because Taylor wouldn't mention a sob story and either would the show because they don't want you knowing too much about a guy who is already doing well. They just had no idea he was as good a singer as they see he actually is now and they NEVER thought some gray haired guy would get such a large fan base. So they dropped the ball on that one cause Hicks is very loved and he is the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. As is Bucky, he is sweet as sugar. He is adorable, good hearted and They took him in because he has a rocker/country thing going on, but they still felt his vocals wouldn't be good enough to beat out their choice. So he is what you would call Chris' main competition as far as Rock goes this year.
But they want Bucky to go soon so that all the attention and focus will go to Chris.
Paris = nepotism and there is really nothing else that needs to be said there.
Mandisa was taken in cause you can't look that girl in the face and tell her that she can't sing. But still, they knew that the fact that she is a heavy set girl would also cause some controversy. Which is why she was strictly throw off for shock value. She has nothing against gay people! We all know she was the best female singer there. But they do that every year with a great one just for shock value. That way, their show will be all the talk at the water cooler the next day. Mandisa also has a beautiful heart. Unlike Katherine, who was horrible during Hollywood week and often forgot her words. But they let her through because of her looks and NEVER showed how bitchy she actual is. Her fights with former contestants and her conceited, cocky attitude were edited out of the show so that all you saw was a wholesome looking pretty girl who can sing a little.
