I was horrified that Michael Johns was voted off. I voted for him several times on Tuesday night. He didn't even deserve to be in the bottom 3, much less to leave. I think it's the first time I've ever seen the audience boo the final remaining contestants. I honestly wondered if there was some sort of mix up or manipulation of the votes because I just don't see how this was possible.
I think they need to change the way they do eliminations in this show because it's getting to be a contest of who has the most 13 year old girls frantically pressing re-dial for 2 hours, not who the majority of the public likes the best. The people who are actually going to buy CDs aren't the ones who are going to call 600 times for their favorite.
Each phone line should be allowed one vote. I also believe judges should continue to have a say in it (otherwise, why are they there?) and that their votes should be weighted and combined with the public's votes. Our votes should count 60%, with theirs counting 40%.
Also, did anyone else see Brooke White standing over there pouting like a kindergartener? She was literally poking her bottom lip out and scrunching up her face, probably to ensure that everyone saw her looking "sad" while she secretly gloated. What a fake, stupid bitch.
