Say it ain’t true, Paula.

One cog in American Idol’s production machine says the show is completely fixed and that producers have already chosen the final four competitors.

According to an unnamed female production staffer, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, ...

[slomark]

I don't think I buy it.

[Vigilanteman]

Well, the enemedia managed to fix the last presidential contest. Sarah Palin was the only wild card. Why else did they have a major hissy fit when she was introduced?

[RexBeach]

Sounds like a disgruntled production staff member to me.

If this show is fixed, we would have heard about it a LONG time ago. The production staff is too big for everyone to keep their mouths shut.

Why does it matter if it is fixed? It is just a TV show!

[Kirkwood]

Gee, the 4 consistently best singers. Imagine that.

[dawn53]

Those are probably the 4 I’d pick, at this point to “stay in”...but that doesn’t mean it’s fixed.

Danny has a story and can sing (wife died...he’s also the worship leader at a church), Alexis is cute don’t know if I think she’s a standout, Lil is a wife and mom, the only one I don’t like is the Adam kid...yuck, and what he did to Ring of Fire last night was disgusting.

All you have to do is watch last nights show. The judges try and manipulate the voting audience. Adam is by far the most talented person on that show. It is like a man playing with boys. Anyone with a ounce of musical knowledge will tell you the same.

I have always seen the 'producer's hand' in AI. It was glaringly obvious in the race/gender mix of winners in the first years (especially the Studdard sham).

AI is a powerful, revenue-rich franchise. They will not dilute their demographics by eliminating any substantial segment too soon. This is why Lil is safe for the next six-eight weeks.

For the same reason Lambert will not win. He is a screamingly in your face pseudo-tranny with broad-base career-ending pics all over the place. The AI producers will not allow him to represent the franchise.

Last night’s show was a good one. Randy Travis was mortified with the flamer Adam what’s-her/his-name sang Johnny Cash with a “Middle Eastern flair”. It was horrible, disrespectful to Johnny Cash. Truly disgusting.

Randy Travis was also a little freaked out by the flamer Adam what’s-her/his-name’s finger nail polish.

[Constitution Day]

I saw that little twerp.

I am a HUGE Cash fan and can belt out his songs with the best of them.

Frankly, Adam Lambert should be JAILED for what he did to “Ring of Fire”.

I’m not even kidding.

[fortunate sun]

I guess they really do want to distract the American people from the already failed policies of “the Bomma”.

Is American Idol the show where the Brit insults people who would be booed off a karaoke stage? Fun show until he runs out of people to insult.

Those are probably the 4 I’d pick, at this point to “stay in”...but that doesn’t mean it’s fixed.

I’m with you although I do really like Meghan Joy (sp?). Someone called me last night and I was half listening to Idol when suddenly I heard Adam come on ~ OMG. TV got my full attention during that disaster.

I could not believe it and while I’m not a Cash fun that was just awful. I can’t even think of a word....it was that bad. Of course Adam’s fan base which I’m sure is huge already (lots of ppl not previously represented on the show probably love Adam) will vote him through. I was actually thinking we might hear of an earthquake where Johnny Cash was buried ~ it would have been him spinning in his grave with anger!

[fluffdaddy]

Adam can sing, but his musical sense matches his fashion sense. Last night's performance was cringe inducing garbage, and it was par for his course. The judges, including Simon were way too kind.

He'll be gone soon, unless the show really is fixed. Only a few homosexual fans will want to perpetuate the embarrassment of his participation.

[slomark]

Absolutely, regardless of what kind of strange person Adam may or may not be, he is in a class of his own. He’s incredible and could be thrown on tour immediately.

[HamiltonJay]

I wouldn’t doubt it, I don’t regular watch the show, but when I have it was blindingly obvious who was going to be the winners, and it had nothing to do with talent or anything else. It was always very clear who the scriptwriters were going to have as the winners.

[maggief]

Last night I made the mistake of searching Adam Lambert google images.

(((((shudder)))))

[JohnRam]

Wanna bet? He will be there till the end. Unlike you most Americans judge on talent, not sexuality. Anyone that can’t see he is by far the most talented needs to watch another show.

“American Idol” is fixed - names "winners"

"Shocked...just shocked!"

[bgill]

We knew this thing was fixed a couple years ago when Sanjaya didn’t win. C’mon, that guy was a major talent.

Lol, now I know they're joking.
