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 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?
Foster_9 you're right, Pia's gone because young girls' votes are based on (silly) crushes. That's not to say that boys wouldn't vote in the same way.
I agree with the theory about girls/women doing most of the voting. I'm a middle aged guy. I watch the show with my wife. We love that show, but my wife definately does the voting. I'm bummed that Pia got voted off. She is great. Not to mention a total babe! But you know she got tons of valuable exposure and SOMEBODY will pick her up, sign her to a recording deal, make her a star. Look at Jennifer Hudson, or Chris Daughtry. Both of them have seen major success yet neither of them won the AI crown.
Personally I think America should get rid of Paul next. He drives me nuts for some reason. Just my opinion is all.
