Nope…that disclaimer has been there for a couple of years now. Not really sure how they could enforce that, however.
yellowval, I love the way you think! And I agree that only Miss Ross was better than poor wee Sanjaya this week.
Not sure they could prove anything, but it would save the record company the pain of having to produce the likes of Sanjaya MacNichol.
What was that crap they mentioned about Diana Ross being voted Entertainer of the Century? By who? The Diana Ross fan club?
I could think of at least 50 performers who could be considered “Entertainer of the Century” and Diana Ross wouldn’t be one of them. Elton John, Madonna, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Cher, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel…
Every time they show Sanjaya’s family, I feverently hope they show the smoking hot sister. Absolutely amazing, and I wish she’d have made it at least to the 12.
Why, thank you. And right back atcha, by the way!
Billboard Magazine.
When I first heard of the concept, I assumed that what they were doing was dialing from the DialIdol computer itself. I thought they were dialing the numbers constantly and repeatedly in sequence, tabulating the busy signals compared to the ring tones. Couldn’t it be done that way?
Me too! She was a babe.
The second half of your post is correct – they tabulate busy signals vs. connected phone calls. However, it’s not just the folks at DialIdol doing this.
While dialidol.com is the web site, DialIdol is a program that you can download and set up to powerdial for your favorites. The program tracks the busy signals vs. connections, and sends that info back to dialidol.com for tabulation.
Yeah, I was hoping she sang better because she was the total package.
A few weeks ago I remember being mildly glad that Sanjaya was chosen over the sister. I got a distinct and chilly princess vibe off her.
Eh, I’d still take pedi-cab girl, roller skate girl, pretty black teenage boy or Che Guevara over either of them.
True. Sanjaya gives off a much warmer princess vibe.
Surprised to hear his mom’s a housekeeper; they struck me as very upper-middle or wealthy in demeanor.
Right. But if you’ll check my post, I was actually asking whether it would work better the way I described.
IIRC, she was one of like 100 on that list, no?
I just saw a blurb on Inside Edition that Howard Stern is encouraging people to vote for Sanjaya to shake up the show, like he was the first one to think of it. Real original Howard. :rolleyes:
Ah, gotcha. In that case, If they’re doing it on their own I don’t think they could put together a large enough sample to be accurate (although they’re not exactly accurate at the moment anyway).
It would seem you’re not the only one to notice this. From today’s Yahoo Buzz Index:

Can’t be a coincidence, can it?
