Do you guys thing American Idol is Rigged ? i think it is

a lot of TV is rigged

yea a lot of reality shows are rigged but i honestly dont think that american idol is. haha i dont have a reason why but thats what i think.

jackie

No i don't think so. I think the problem is that not everyone is voting and some people are voting too much.

sniff im dumb, can i ask wat rigged means? T_T

moved to entertainments.

HEll yes its rigged. I rerfuse to watch it. Everyone should stop watching that rigged shizzle.

it means that the outcomes are manipulated by people behind the scene, so that the actual voting doesn't make any difference. I think american idol may be unforcefully rigged with some votes failing to be counted

yeah i think it was

i'm not sure. i know i dont vote because i figure one vote isn't going to change anything. if there are a lot of people feeling that way, there are a lot of people not voting. and then you've got the family and friends of the contestants who call in and make sure everyone else calls in for their contestant.

either way, i could care less. i've seen AI twice in three seasons. i figure if anyone's any good, they'll make it to the radio and i'll listen to 'em then. at least i don't have to sit thru the bad ones that way!

Saying that it's rigged is everyones excuse for not voting. I think either way, no matter who stays in or who gets kicked off, people will still complain that the show is rigged.

I think the results are pretty accurate. I mean think about it. A lot of the voters are below the age of 13, and they don't only vote once! I was looking through the American Idol forums, and a bunch of little kids admitted to voting for John Stevens 500+ times.

The solution would be to allow only one vote person, but I guess that would be impossible to implement.

I doubt it. There is no reason for it to be rigged. What would the TV people gain?

But...how is Ruben doing worse than Clay in album sales? Hmm? If that many people voted for him that many times and whatnot, wouldn't he be selling more?

what is Rigged ? lol. i dont know
-----------
can anyone tell me. i haev no idea

I heard that Clay was supposed to win the 2nd American Idol, but they didn't want us to think that they only like white people so they said Ruben won.

yes. the show is biased 4 certain ppl 2 win. not 2 b racist, but like they made rubin the fave so he cud win, bcuz every1 said tht Tamira from 1st season shuda won, but lost cuz shes black.
the host guy started "rrooooben" and stuff, and the way they percieved him on camara. think about it.

rigged: faked, or fixed 2 have a certain result.

CJ1, yeah i heard tht 2 (hence my post above)

sunnysidedown828, please don't double post. I don't understand what you mean by the camera and stuff.

I hate American Idol. I only watch it to see the rejects make fools outta demselves.

yea cuz i notice how everytime theres a different kind of winner in terms of ethnicity

if they do go on ethnicity then i think jasmine trias would win the next one ? cause shes azn flip ! C= but i think fantasia would win man Finally John Stevens is OUT ! but is this true cause i go to mililani high sku and i know one of her friends and she sed that jasmine was going out with john stevens ? you know that jasmine isnt always perky but she won that road to fame contest !

I sure hope not.

i'm pretty sure it's not i agree with 'xquizit' it's all the people who assume the good people will get the votes so no one votes. *bad people* and it's the people who vote 1000000 times for their favortites. so rigged by the prodcuers? no. rigged by the american audience? yes.

*shrugs* does it really matter? if it is then who cares?!?! haah! we get a kick outta it anyways. if it was "rigged" then how many of us would still be watching eh? EXACTLY! and if it isn't kewl~

but foh the record. im 99.9% sure it isnt

why does everything always have to be a racial issue. the race of the contestants have nothing to do with who the producers so called "choose" to win.

america votes for the winner, and if it happens to be a white person, then a black person, why does everyone automatically assume that the show is rigged?

I don't know if its rigged or not but if you think about it, the singers are pretty good. I don't watch the show because its plain boring to me but thats only my opinion but a lot of people actually enjoy it. There are some T.V. shows I like and some I dislike. American Idol is one of them I dislike but again thats only my opinion. They are making a lot of American Idol's now like American Idol #1 when Kelly won, Amercian Idol #2 when Ruben won, and now a #3...I don't know if they should keep making more and more but again..they are giving talented people chances.

its not rigged. and its not about who's best. its about what most americans want. and most americans want will hung.

Yeah... Stupid William Hung... Lots of talented people who were voted off American Idol because American Idol just because they didn't like them. But they like Hung so he gets a recording contract? Whats happening with the world these days? *shakes head*

he already had a deal sux i think he is annoying the she bang song i mean but overall he is HELLA funny

I personally think it's somewhat rigged, and they're just trying to blame it on the audience that their favotrite or whatever got voted off cuz they didn't vote for them=\

hmm i heard that some people who tries out in the beginning gets paid to sing bad.... but willium hung wasnt paid to do so bad so that he became famous... =/

i don't watch that crap

i don't think that it's rigged... i just think that the voters aren't thinking right...
that's just a preview of what a democracy does... the qualified people get booted out because someone is more popular...

im not sure.. but i think the judges are rigged.

do you think simon can really be that mean..? they all have this little personality.

but .. im wrong a lot.. hehehhe

lets just send mail and find out.. just a suggestion? like theyll tell the truth..

i think american idol is rigged i mean im not a jennifer hudson fan she was hella a$$ good dont ya think ? too bad she was voted off o well wait is it true john stevens and jasmine trias going out ? thats what my friends told me
