American Idol WTF???

I guess they really want an emmy because I hvae NEVER seen an AI finale like this!

Al Jarreau
Live
Meatloaf
Mary J Blige
Toni Braxton
Dionne Warwick
Brokenote Cowboys
PRINCE!


Uh, I'm guessing artists have realized the amount of viewers that watch this show and want that exposure. I remember when AI first started, artists like Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys were dissing it. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw them on a finale show in the future

This was a really exciting show tonight!

That's sad. I find it weird we have almost 300 million (not sure how many are under 18) citizens and so little actually vote for the leader of their country

Well you do have to factor in how many kids fourteen and older voted, it's still crazy to hear that amount. Now ow many will actually buy the album from the winner, runner up and the others voted off, I'm guessing the winner will be platinum at least.

I doubt that figure is 63 million PEOPLE. It's probably 63m votes, including ones from multiple voters.

You are correct - 63 million votes, not people. I'm not saying we have enough people exercising their right to vote in elections, but we do have far too many people concerned with who wins the pageant! lol

Yeah, UK has alot of tabloids, and as we have no movie scene like the US, we gotta find something else to talk about.

Yes but that probably breaks down to about 2-5 million actual voters making multiple entries.

I was just getting ready to say that, and I'm actually surprised that folks didn't catch on right away. Kids can vote on AI, but not in government elections, people!
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

Can we be clear on this one and for all....It's not 63 million people. 63 million people don't even watch the show on a regular bais and the final only got under 40 million....It's 63 million votes. Some people vote like 400+ times! So once and for all, it's not 63 million people! And I'm not crabbing at you....I'm crabbing at the media who reports this all the time and truly knows better!

I bet Hilary Clinton will win the white house in 2008 if she appear on AI in the future.
