I think what happened is a repeat of the bs that kept happening during season one when the show was fresh-there were people that Simon had rejected but Paula/Randy put through-when it got to the groups of 10's Simon would criticize some of these non-singers and the american public would go crazy and vote through blatantly weak singers. Because of this some very good singers never got the chance to be in the final 10 portion of the competition. Of course the weak singers were voted out in the first couple of weeks-waste of time and opportunity.
The minute Simon said what he said and Jasmine started crying I feared the fix would be in. There are some people who absolutely can't stand Fantasia or Latoya and are still upset that untalented John (Redhead) was voted out...thus the Jasmine pity party started.
I may not watch again-just turn on at the end to see what Fantasia's call in number is and keep voting for her-although with Clive Davis as the guest judge next week it will be interesting to hear what he has to say to the non note hitting bubble gum DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THERE -Jasmine). Shoot-I hope he gives Latoya a record deal as she sits in the audience!
I'm tired of people saying Latoya's supporters didn't vote for her. Thanks to free calling on my cell I spent two hours-hitting redial (between her & Fantasia) and got busy signals the majority of the time.
To Diana's credit-she has been getting better each week- & I think depending on song choices among the three (Latoya/Fantasia/herself) she did have the potential to upset either of them next week to end up in the final 2. With Jasmine still in the mix I've lost all hope for this show.
Simon as exec producer better take the voting process out of fox's hands or the show will not make it another season.
