I am reading a lot of stuff and hearing that people think american idol is fixed because Ruben was in the bottom 2 and the reason was it was a ploy by producers because the show was a little too predictable. I do admitt that it seemed a little fishy that after all the great things the judges say about him and the huge fan base he seems to have but wouldn’t that just be a little ovious? Also if it was found out that American idol was fixed, it would be the demise of the show and I am sure that all people involved in the competition would be entittled to compensation. I think that what happened was a fluke and people just took for granted that ruben would be there and didn’t vote for him as much as they previously had. I think that josh is still there because of what is happening in our country at this time, but I do not think he has anywhere near the talent of any of the other 3 that are still there, and he knows it (proof is his face after they called ruben into the bottom 2). I think that talent wise Clay and Ruben are equal but when it comes to “american idol” material ruben is more the type. I think clay is more a perfessional talent. I think Kim locke is great but that talent wise clay and ruben have her beat, but I think that they were definently the best 3 left in the competition. I wish them all luck though, it is a GREAT show to watch. I am curious to find out what everyone thinks about what I have said, so please post any agrees/disgrees:D

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
American Idol’s irreparably bad, so they can’t fix it.
Are you implying that FOX would do something to increase ratings, cause conversation at water coolers and be slightly unethical?
I’m shocked.
Just shocked at the thought.
FOX has a long history of striving to take the high moral road. I am sure Rupert Murdock would NEVER allow shenanigans in the name of ratings and ad revenue to influence his vision of serious journalism and honesty in media.
You hit it on the nail lillyflower, it was the same that happened last year with Tamyra Gray.
Everyone was so sure she was safe they didn’t bother to vote for her and instead concentrated on voting for the person who they thought was going to get voted off i.e. Nikki Mckibbon.
Everyone was so sure Nikki was the next to go that they concentrated on her thinking that Tamyra was safe…the idea at the time was to get Justin voted off…as Justin was in the bottom 2 the previous week.
This year was kind of the same thing, people were so sure that Rueben was safe that they just didn’t bother as much. Everyone was quite sure the Josh was out because he was the worst that night…not only was he the worst, but it was the worst he’s ever sang too.
But because he’s a Marine and everybody is feeling patriotic and stuff they still think he deserves to be up there regardless if he’s the worst singer. Which is sad, becasue we saw a “Tamyra” happen.
We all know that Treynce and Reuben were much better than Josh that night, we just neglected to realize Josh’s fan base. But not to worry after last weeks fiasco…Josh is certainly the next to go.
What is the point of this show?
and it sounds pretty dumb anyways.
The show is a talent show, focused exclusively on singing. The winner gets a million dollar recording contract.
It’s not dumb; trust me, I thought it was dumb and didn’t watch the entire first season. Now, I rather enjoy the show. The thing is that it’s not so much the competition that I’m into; I just like having a live performance show every week with some talented singers trying different styles.
BTW, were you drunk when you posted that? Be honest, it just looks like it.
