Error Leads to 'American Idol' Revote

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The 11 contestants left on Fox's reality hit "American Idol" are getting another shot at stardom.

Phone numbers that allowed viewers to pick their favorite contestant were incorrectly displayed during Tuesday's show, prompting a re-vote during the show scheduled to air Wednesday, the network said in a statement.

Phone lines will remain open for two hours following the episode, when another singer will be booted off this week by viewers. The contestant with the fewest votes goes home.

In the running are Bo Bice, Anthony Fedorov, Constantine Maroulis, Anwar Robinson, Scott Savol, Nikko Smith, Mikalah Gordon, Jessica Sierra, Vonzell Solomon, Nadia Turner and Carrie Underwood.

The series, which is in its fourth season, draws nearly 30 million viewers an episode.

RECOUNT! RECOUNT! RECOUNT!

I can't believe this is happening. It's as if we're reliving Election 2000 all over again.

:) Denote sarcasm.

Anyone named Mikalah should go home and STAY home until she can come up with a real name.

I hope so her Fran Drescher routine is getting old and has been grating on my nerves for weeks. Not to mention the fact that the kid ain't got the pipes! She just can't sing!

If I were a true skeptic, I'd guess the producer didn't like the vote results and created this snafu so there could be a do-over show.

Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money!!

Carrie was awesome last night. She and Bo should win it based on pure talent and personality. Mikalah needs to go this week (I will not miss her voice for a moment).
