I think they have already recorded who they want. After all, there aren't that many weeks left. Just another ploy by the PTB to make us think we are involved. I voted but I don’t think I will again.

LOL My write-ins are at the top of the ROCK charts but won't ever be played on AI. Songs like Breaking Benjamin's "Breath" and "Diary of Jane", Papa Roach's "Forever", and Saliva's "Ladies and Gentlemen". Sigh.

New artists who have albums out with great songs on them who DIDN'T get the exposure of being on tv in front of 30+ million people for 13+ weeks. And I think it's already been confirmed that Daughtry will be back to sing "Home". So this is not some devious plan to get him back on the show. :rolleyes_tb: You know, it’s funny, when I write in, I write in people like Amy Winehouse and James Morrison.

There is just too much going on with all they are doing this year! This is just my opinion, but it seems they want to cash in while they are still on top. Now, I think this camp idea will be good even after the show is no longer on the air: <em>Campers create their own schedules by choosing from classes in singing, dancing, acting, song writing, audition and performance techniques, personal style, video production, set design and more. Instruction will be provided by respected professionals, with special master classes featuring guest artists such as favorite former American Idol contestants, recording artists, and other top industry professionals. </em> Because there is so much cuts in the Arts, this could be very helpful. So glad there are scholarships available! This is so silly. There is just too much going on with all they are doing this year!

Your votes don't matter and are not important to them. I guess Elliot shouldn't have been friends with Taylor and sung with LIMBO. He is getting the TAYLOR treatment too. Maybe if Melinda and Lakisha get the boot at 4th, Simon will make a point with the winner and stop this INSANITY!! :wallbash_tb: Give it up people-the pimpimg started last year and Simon has made his point this year.

I agree that more Some Hearts album performances on Idol this year would be overexposure. Plus she has reportedly already shot non-performance footage for the Idol special during her past overseas trip, so her next live AI visit should be next season. Kat's song is doing well on several charts as the current charts tab at the top of this site indicates. The hit list only states that the top 5 voted songs each week will be announced and that 1 of the 50 will be performed--not necessarily the voter's picks. And the top 50 are hits based on actual charts so Taylor needs major airplay to appear as an listed option on the chart. Nevertheless, I hope Kat, Chris, Taylor, and Elliott all get the chance to return this season and cut the deadweight from these hourlong results shows.
