AI Odds and Ends
Simon was on Oprah today...some behind the scenes stuff from before last week's results show...Leona Lewis' US debut and some other stuff...
I'm sure bits and pieces will hit YouTube soon...if they haven't already..

lol...that's ok....this is just a thread for stuff I hear/find.
Forgot to mention that Simon picked 4 who he thinks have the best chance of winning (I'm assuming he's basing his opinion on his perception of their talent)....in no particular order...although he did say that David A was still the front runner...
David A
David C
Brooke
Jason C

Or he's seen the voting figures.
Thought I post this. Interesting. I have made arguments about manipulation, sabotage and scripted. But never about rigging. Take what you want from it.

From that post:
I mean, come on, guys! Let's be realistic here. No offense to Kristy fans, but do any of you guys REALLY think she got more votes than David Hernandez after that awful rendition of "8 Days a Week?" I definitely don't think so. And what about Danny Noriega? He and Jason Castro had/have some of the LARGEST fan bases next to David A. Do you honestly think that Syesha, Kristy or Amanda could've gotten more votes than Danny? With everyone voting hundreds of times, not to mention having the whole gay community on his side. It's just not possible.
Firstly, I think it's very plausible that Kristy got more votes - country singers always prove popular and I'm sure she got a massive sympathy vote after the mauling she got from the judges.
Danny Noreiga was incredibly irritating and that comments fail to realise that it didn't matter even if Syesha, Kristy or Amanda got less votes as he was only in competition with the other boys.
As for the 'whole gay community' thing? We'll I'm sure there will be a few to argue with that...

eh...I highly doubt the show is rigged. It doesn't make sense. If so Chris D would have won instead of Taylor...lol

Or Simon is kicking himself now for not rigging it for Chris to win.
lol...he even said that he thought that season "popularity" (taylor)won over talent....
I'm not sure Taylor was more popular than Chris...I think the Chris fans got lazy...

Found a blog link thats rather interesting; Constantine Maroulis remember him? From season 5 I think. Scroll down and read his opinions about the top ten contestants. You may also find the other blogs interesting too.
