They are trying to tell us America voted. I don’t believe it. And here’s what I mean – sure, some Americans voted - more than once. And some who aren’t 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 one’s 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, don’t accuse me of “gay bashing”, because it’s simply about telling it like it is - and that is why American Idol doesn’t 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, it’s 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 couldn’t even imagine the day when it’s 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 shouldn’t have danced”? And America doesn’t like Jazz?
You know what. American Idol sucks. It’s 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 what’s 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.
That’s 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, it’s “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 I’m 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 . . . . . . I’m 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, it’s a global thing, and now, it’s about charity for Africa, we are the world, and throw in Katrina so you can say it’s American too, and you know, imagine there’s no heaven.
America voted. And it sucks. Turn it off.
I'm calling it now...Melinda will be the next American Idol...at least i hope ;)
Yeah...put down the Jack Daniels and back away slowly.
No. Sanjaya is not gay.
Then he's the swishiest straight guy I have seen in YEARS (and I live in San Francisco). He makes Clay Aiken look like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
You were doing well up till your fourth glass of wine there ;)

I'm glad someone else thought that ;)
Indians have a different style. E.G. Their music isn't limited to the half note scale (I don't know how to explain it correctly) -- their musical scale is more fluid than the one we use.
I tried to watch that show long ago. I really did. I think I survived about 15 minutes of it.
Gay or not, he's not Idol caliber. He's a very weak singer. I don't expect him to last much longer on the show.
I'd say the odds of him not being gay are very slim.
Most likely not. A lot of people that age date girls and go through the whole process even if they don't like it. It's the whole peer pressure thing.
"I told my wife in the beginning that Sanjaya couldn't sing worth a s*** and that they put him thru because of his, um, ethnicity. Obviously they were going after a new demographic.
He still can't sing and he's still there."
I agree 100%
God did not make homosexuals - they chose the lifestyle. God specifically said in the Bible that homosexuality is an "abomination".
If you disagree, take it up with God and not with conservatives who believe the Bible is God's word.
OK, maybe he's not gay. He's just VERY effeminate.
LOL! Great analogy!
I mean, like, if I’m 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 . . . . . . I’m wearing pajamas and a turban, . . . and I got a beard and a bad kidney, and… . . . can I vote?
Just wondering.
You have to be calling from an American area code. If fact, they limit it so that you can only call from that area code during the two hours after the singing ends in your time zone.
You simply cannot comprehend anything through that head of yours. How says I have a problem with God? I have a problem with you saying that every person on Earth is gay and they gave no indication of saying such things. Please go back to DU where you belong!!!!! Newfreep is pretty obvious!!!!
I'm all three :)
Certain comments on this thread display an irrational hatred for a show that some claim not to watch. Even the original poster had to admit that he's only seen the show twice (post #25) yet he felt the need to share his incoherent ramblings with the rest of us:
And while I was watching the “elimination”, my mind drifted a little off subject
No kidding.
I'm a little sick of it all. Judging by the graph on BobJ's thread, I guess I'm not the only one.
You definitely are not the only one. I think anyone with an IQ above room temperature is probably sick of it.
"I don't know if Sanjaya is gay or not, ok, (here's where I insert not that there is anything wrong with that) but I am sure the Indian population of America voted for him and probably voted and voted many times. Not much you can do about it until the number of contestants gets smaller then it would be more difficult. It would be one thing if he was good, but he sucks!"
...to which I reply...
"I don't know if Sanjaya is gay or not...but he sucks!"
You guys are really missing the FUN of it all.
My Mom [78] LOVES watching the show, so I watch it with her....
The BEST part is the names she comes up with for the contestants...
Like "Salmonella"...the snotty little number [Antonella Barba] who posed semi-naked, but couldn't sing...who reportedly was ALREADY offered $500k to star in "Girls Gone Wild".
"Sunbeam" for the refrigerator-sized soul singer that Sanjaya bumped...
And, "Alfalfa" for Sanjaya..
~~~~~~~~
As for it "not working"...please consider two items...
1. The MILLIONS they rake in off the votes...
2. Carrie Underwood, Country phenom who SWEPT the Awards Circuit.
I haven't had TV since '97. Did I miss anything?
