I think it’s evident that American Idol is NOT aired completely “LIVE” as advertised. Try recording the show at home and then play it back. There are many changes that are obvious. For example, the recap of the performances at the end of the show include parts of the performances that were never actually seen. In many cases the microphone position, gestures etc. of the performers never actually took place while singing, however, they mysteriously are included at the end during the recap. I think Paula was simply having “dejavu” because she had already seen it. The show is recorded at least twice. It is NEVER aired LIVE as they claim. However, I will still watch it, because I still enjoy the performances.

The trust is gone. I want to see certified vote counts, and they better equal 100% of 36 million. The proof of truth is now their responsibility.

Paula has totally screwed up my main source of income now. Am i the only one hoping for another car crash soon?? we will be taking applications for new judges from the end of this series ( by the way - David Cook is the already decided winner - so don´t bother voting for anyone else, you´ll only be wasting your dollars)

last nights show was a truly disgraceful example of American stupidity - the very fact that they all watch this load of absolute twaddle is saddening for me. bring back the British empire! this show is the epitamy of the sickening over-zelousness of the Americans in general

Obviously, there is some editing and not all is “live” as Idol is represented. The comments on Jason are interesting, if the decisions were made on vocal quality only, he would have gone home much earlier. I am thinking about buying some hair and giving Idol a try next season.

Last nights show was sad, I was embarrased for Paula, she had no real clue she had even made a mistake. If people really listen to her babble they will realize she does this every week. Its entertaining, but still she owes an apology to the contestants and the viewers. But I doubt that will happen she apparantly gets lost when she has to do something different. Paula, put the drink or whatever down and pay attention to what your supposed to be doing.

Dang, guys, Paula made a mistake. All right, she’s not the brightest daisy in the garden, but everyone makes mistakes. She said she mixed up the notes, and maybe she did, but to immediately throw up arms and scream “CONSPIRACY!!!” is ridiculous.

Let’s be real, if the producers want someone off the show, they just have to put it on Ryan’s card that “so and so” didn’t win enough votes. Who tabulates these votes? Where’s the Checks and Balances? It’s a TV show which is fun, entertaining, and lively, but it won’t start a national crisis if Jason is voted off, if Jason wins, or if Paula flubs again (Which she will, which is why we either love her or not). Have fun with it, but don’t take it so seriously. These contestants will all come out ahead. They’ve recieved the notoriety from the show, the good ones will be in our limelight for years, the bad ones will slowly fade from memory…

Let he who is without “mistakes” cast the first stone.

Just my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.
