any takers?

i have no opinion, havent watched the show since about a month ago...personally hate this guy BUT he's still hanging in there and "America Votes" mostly not 34 year olds like me..teen age girls like Blake obviously

If the girl losses that sho is more riged than boxing. i have watched about 15 min of that show all year and every time i hear him sing and wonder how the hell he made it this far.

Tough one, as I think young girls vote for girls too....competition between the sexes so to speak. Blake has the more hip style of the two though.....and Melinda Doolittle being voted off this week clearly points to the younger voters being in the majority (even though she clearly had the best vocals throughout).

Last year the old grey haired guy won (lol)......so why don't you take a poll from some teenagers you know and see what they have to say. I am going to a high school tomorrow to attend a talk my hubby is giving, so I'll ask the kids there. We can compare notes and see if Blake is worth a shot.

Yahoo had an article about popularity in this contest this morning. Here's the link: http://tv.yahoo.com/american-idol/show/34934/buzzmeter

Basically the article indicates that Blake is the most "popular". There is some interesting information for anyone who might want to put some money on the +285

In the final show they each perform a pre-written song which includes a choir and is usually has a sort of religious message. This is why Reuben Studdard beat Clay Gayken. This is why Fantasia barrino beat that other girl. Jordin is gonna sell the song for what it is, the girl can tell a story in her songs. There is no way that Jordin Sparks loses next week, don't waste ur money on Blake.

For the record I think Blake is a better pop star, he's like Justin Timberlake mixed with the Maroon 5 singer.

i didnt really mention that they both sing the same pre-written song and the winnner gets that song as their first hit.

l-bonds

good point about the last song, usually inspirational type song, very soulful with religious undertones

i will stay away but i have a gut feeling the blake is getting a lot of votes from loyal fans that wont be swayed by the last song

I bet Jordin Sparks 2 months agao at +900 for $100. Im hoping she can pull it out this week.

FWIW, I polled some h.s. kids today.....overwhelming Jordin.

Jordin in a blowout. Public is on Blake and the line is moving up. It's American Idol reverse line movement.

well.... take this info as you will... but according to many sources inside A.I. that only 2 winners actually won the popular vote. They were kelly clarkson and carrie "giveme" wood. All this info is according to Sirius sat. radio

Also it is reported that A.I. has hired a personal trainer and fitness instructor for jordin

hate to admit it but I took Blake 4-10-2007 when he was 5-1

Figured he could make the finals based on the "unique" quality everyone always seems to vote for. The best singer hasn't won 3 out of the past 4 years imo. It was no shock to me the seemingly best vocalist went home the other night

Books cleaned up on everyone betting that melinda girl at ridiculous odds

We all know Sanjiahrea has set in and you blokes could not pick the winner of this contest. My vote

"M.C.Hammer"

He needs the money. And the boy can dance...LMAO
