    At the end of the show the producers say that they have the right to not count all votes that seem to be the product of technological enhancements, or something to that effect. I figure that they could manipulate the votes if they really wanted to by claiming "technological enhancements" were used more on one contestant, and lower their votes or something. I am not saying this happens. It probably doesn't, and is just a conspiracy theory...

    Who thinks they saw things in last night's show that are evidence of attempts by TPTB ("the powers that be" - whoever you think they are) to manipulate the voters? And if so, which contestant(s) do you think they are pulling for (or trying to stop)?

    I think TPTB are obviously pulling for Chauncey.
    My evidence:

    They gave him a song that won both a Grammy and an Oscar.
    It was producer Nigel Lithgoe's favorite song.
    Ryan pronounces his name is such a way as to remind us of R-u-u-u-ben
    They dress him so as to remind us of Clay.
    He was the only one to get a cool split-screen picture
    They pointed out that he had a cold.
    Ryan complimented his SHOES!
    They showed the judges DURING his song.
    They showed his family 4 times.
    They showed people waving Chauncey signs
    And finally - MAGIC FAIRY DUST!

    Now, what did you see?



    -Not to be rude but I so disagree with all of you.

Hhhmmm, if that's the case, it's not a bad thing because that means Jordan will be the next to get into the group.

    - That was a supicious but really funny post

    why? because for the most part, people voted correctly in AI. kelly definitely deserved to win AI1 and can't go wrong with either clay or ruben in AI2. when the voting seemed off, LOTS of people complained of a conspiracy/power-voting, most notably nikki beating out tamyra last year and josh gracin making it so far this year.

    That's because no ones brought up AI's voting. Remember Clay's and Ruben's amount of votes separating them. Was it real or fake? All I got to say is, "1,300" no wait, it's "13,000", no wait, it's actually "130,000." Need I say more?
