Idol 2011


No need for "American Idol" detractors to read this thread. This is directed at those who like myself, enjoy listening to the talented contestants and following the show. I've been watching for many years and I think that this is by far the most talented bunch ever. Lauren, the 15 year old country singer is amazing as is Scotty, Pia, Haley, and Paul. It's a damn shame that the cds that are produced after the show are generally dumbed down and uninteresting.

I agree, most talented bunch ever. I think there are three or four of this year's group that would have won over the last four or five winners if they'd been competing in years past. Too bad they all showed up in the same group this year but it does make for a very entertaining show. You mention Pia-did you vote for her after Wednesday night's show? She's not my favorite but I was surprised to see her go last night.
I was really shocked that she was voted off and I think that it was all wrong. No accounting for taste.
I was shocked too. Of course everyone's tastes are different. But, for me, how Pia left before Paul and Jacob is a complete mystery.

NOT TO MENTION SHE HAS A HOT BODY!
Females historically do most of the voting? My thought has been that the largest AI voter demographic is girls and young women. Therefore women contestants will sometimes be at a disadvantage in surviving these votes, and males (the opposite sex) will have an advantage. Pia's good voice and beauty are not as big an advantage to the majority of AI voters(females). Just my theory. Do you think if the majority of voters were boys and young men, Pia would have been voted off?
