They are trying to tell us America voted. I dont believe it. And heres what I mean sure, some Americans voted - more than once. And some who arent even Americans voted, too. And maybe some automated their vote, put it in the system, and voted many times.
They call it American Idol. America voted.
But it was pretty much anybody with a cell phone voted, if they wanted. I mean, Osama bin Laden could have voted.
America voted?
And we have block voting. Votes that have nothing to do with ones opinion about singing ability, and more to do with identity, and agendas.
What am I talking about, you ask?
Well, take tonight for example. That freaky guy with the hair that better than the gals, named Sanjaya. He beats out Sundance.
How is it possible?
Simple. Block votes. Everything now seems to be driven by identity, and by agendas which surround those identities.
So we had block votes coming in from the gays and homosexuals who voted for Sanjaya and got all excited when he did his hula dance bit. And half of India voted.
Nothing to do with a singing contest, nothing to do with who can sing the best. It was about other things.
And please, dont accuse me of gay bashing, because its simply about telling it like it is - and that is why American Idol doesnt work anymore.
Some American picks up a cell phone, and punches in the number for the best singer. Fair and square, right?
Or can one hijack the ring tone to American Idol? Not too hard to do, really. And, its real easy not to be fair and square.
Block votes.
And while I was watching the elimination, my mind drifted a little off subject, and I asked myself: Did Republican Bush sign the Democratic Party sponsored Amnesty bill, yet? . . .
Which phone number do I dial to punch in the number regarding my vote on the Amnesty bill?
Does America get to vote on that?
American Idol - such a big hit, one couldnt even imagine the day when its finally a has been. But then one day, the crowd turns a curious circus into a bad circus act.
What were the last words the lady sang at the previous elimination - she was eliminated, and she danced and sang her song again to say goodbye, and the last improvised words of her song were something like She shouldnt have danced? And America doesnt like Jazz?
You know what. American Idol sucks. Its become just like everything else. It started off all about entertainment. To work, it had to start off with a system. And then, the system became a success. It was noticed.
And everyone votes.
In fact, the whole damn world votes. Everyone votes in Chicago. More than once. Even the dead vote. Even the illegals aliens voted.
Sort of like whats happening - to America and our elections, for example.
In fact, since almost half of Mexico will soon be voting in our elections, why not just let the entire world vote in our elections, too?
Cells phones.
Thats the answer. Everyone votes by cell phone.
Even in China, they may still have a lot of folks with dirt floors but they all got a cell phone. Why not let all of China vote in our elections, too?
And all of Arabia!
And all of Central and South America! And all of the North, South, East, West Free Trade Alliances!
By golly, tell Bush right now! Cell phones! But . . . only if EVERYONE gets to vote! Right, Bush? THEN Bush gets his Amnesty bill even faster! You call it America voted. But actually, its Anyone can, and did. Not America, but Anyone. Anywhere. And, any number of times. Think global. Global economy. Global America votes. Global cell phones.
You know, a thought just occurred to me.
When American Idol takes all them votes - them votes by cell phones for example - can ANYONE really call?
I mean, like, if Im in Pakistan for example. In some cave in the North West Frontier Province. In Pakistan. With an AK-47 in my hand. And a Quran on my head.
Can I call up on the cell phone, or perhaps satellite phone, and . . . . . . Im wearing pajamas and a turban, . . . and I got a beard and a bad kidney, and . . . can I vote?
Just wondering.
Like . . . Imagine - some lady gets past the American Idol judges. And, then she shows up when America votes. And, she shows up in a burqa. And she sings Allah AAAAAAHK-Barrrr! (and a ringy-dingy goes the cymbals on her fingers), Aaaaaa . LLLLAHHHHHHH! (and a ringy-dingy goes the cymbals on her toes), OOOOOO SAAAAAAAAA MAAAAAAA!
OOOOH, Sa Ma, How I Love You!
And America votes. By cell phone.
And like, she beats the lady who can dance and who sings Jazz.
Could it happen? Could the Islamic Jihad pull it off?
Maybe not down to the last one standing. But to the top ten, maybe?
And so now, American Idol is the most popular show in the entire world. And, its a global thing, and now, its about charity for Africa, we are the world, and throw in Katrina so you can say its American too, and you know, imagine theres no heaven.
America voted. And it sucks. Turn it off.
Good grief, Brian_Baldwin! You are in serious need of a reality check. Do you realize that there are more important things to worry about, rant about, and even dream about than a television show? That's right, dude, it's a T.V. SHOW! Get over it!
Unfortunately, I believe you. LOL
We don't have cell phones. *sniff*, we're sooo deprived!
Btw, I've watched American Idol maybe 4 times in the show's run. Not impressed.
Mmm Hmm.......
ROFLMAO!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm witnessing someone hijacking their own thread!!!!
American Idol is important to the kids. In my day it was American Bandstand. Now I would ask who in their right mind would want to watch kids dancing to top 20 music?
Can I repost without the "italics"? Well, sure I can; as soon as you teach me how. LOL
I used to watch American Bandstand as a kid too, but only if I had done all of my chores to the satisfaction of my parents. ;)
By the way, if you had read the thread you would have already known what post #33 said (paragraphs and all!). And if you want to skip that part, you could always click on the "TO" link and that will take you directly to the comment that someone was responding to.
Jonny, I don't know if you'll be amused or alarmed or just befuddled like I am by this hysteria -- assuming it doesn't get pulled before morning when you get a chance to see my ping.
If everyone here this horrible singer Sayjaya is gay than God made him that way. Same with Richard Simmons. What other explanation could there be especially since they have never supported the idea that seems so popular on Free Republic. I find it so funny that Free Republic is for conservatives who feels that homosexuality is wrong, but once every person to be gay in America. Does not make sense to me one bit!!!!! I thought that God did not make homosexuals according to folks here. Then how can anybody who has not said it, acted on it, etc be gay???????
Simon said it best when asked how he could possibly explain the people voted off tonight..."I guess people had their volume turned down".
LOL...deep inside...you know he does....sorta...kinda...no definitely...maybe...possibly...yeah for sure...totally...could be
You left out where Simon would call this thread..."very cabaret"
< > with the letter i in between. When you want to stop the italics, put a /i in between the < > after the place you want italics to stop.
Whenever you use such a method, you then have to put a p in between the < > after each paragraph. Otherwise, everything will come out continuous.
If you want to make something in bold type you put the letter b between the < > in front of the word(s) you want in bold and /b where you want to stop the bold type.
Have fun.
I didn't even look at post 33. It was off topic and information that has been covered to death in other threads.
"But it's got a good beat and I can dance to it." Ah, the memories.
American Idol is BIIIIIIG here! I don't have a TV, and haven't for almost 30 years. Have no interest in most TV shows, and since I can order the ones I do like (CSI) I can live without TV forever! I watch CSI on my large screen computer! How fun...no ads! No stupid election ads, either!
Never watched it, never will, proud to say that. The only prime time network show I've watched in years was the Path To 9/11.
Network programming is idiotic and caters to the lowest common denominator, and makes you lose 10 IQ points every commercial break.
I hate being yelled at, and that's what commercials are.
This show will go the way of all the others, soon people will say "That's still on the air?"
Good to hear that. Thanks for posting.
I think it would be utterly delightful if Sanjay was the final male. Let India vote. I like his voice and style (I've only seen him sing once). Hey, he has a better voice than Bob Dylan. He's just himself. I don't know why Brian had a melt down over him.
But my favorite is a Melinda. I'll vote for her first.
Do you know Sundance personally, or something? Take a valium.
