Be prepared. This is long, but true and good.



American Idol is RIGGED, if you guys haven't figured it out already, LOL.





Our voting does absolutely nothing. American Idol decides who wins and who goes home, regardless of how many votes a person got. Here's a snippet from an article: "Howard Stern had a source who claimed to be backstage and saw them editing Lakisha’s video around week seven. This tipster had e-mailed the Howard Stern show to tell them that he knew, for a fact, that Lakisha would be the next voted off. After she was voted off, the show began their own investigation and discovered that Lakisha’s plane ticket was purchased before she was even voted out - and was the only one with travel arrangements. And even more shocking, the e-mail received was time-stamped before voting opened and before any of the contestants even performed! Yes, there's more! Camera crews were dispatched to all of the families homes, but the one sent to Flint Michigan was substantially larger. Fox would not return calls." They decide who's leaving the show before votes even happen. "Here's how it works: a few months ago, a friend of mine journeyed to New Orleans to try out for the show. He's a pretty darned talented pop R%26amp;B singer, and he stood in line along with the other several thousand singers waiting for a shot at "stardom". After waiting in line forever, he was ushered into a huge room filled with tables and judges......but not a Randy, Paula, or Simon in sight. The contestants were herded in like cattle, where a bunch of "pre-judges" weeded them out in record time. My friend was cut in round one, but what he told me was interesting, to say the least. Every contestant goes through THREE rounds of judging BEFORE the "real" judges even get ahold of them. While he watched, several great singers were rejected in round one....while the worst ones were told how great they were, and sent on to the next round. When the (as he described it) "gay yodeling cowboy" made it through while the best of the best were rejected, it became clear that there were TWO competitions going on here. One was for the next American Idol, and the other was for the next William Hung. According to this contestant, "It's not a talent competition, it's a casting call. They're looking for the people who will be the most interesting on television, not the best singers in America." So, those contestants who are the "worst of the worst" are set up by the judges. They survive three rounds of "pre-judging", where they are told how good they are, and then, finally, they get their big chance.....a shot at appearing in front of the Three Stooges Judging Panel of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. It's a setup from the start, but you won't hear that from Fox King Rupert Murdoch or the producers of the show. Think about it....you audition, and incredibly, make it past round one, then round two, and praise the Lord!, you even make it past the all-important third round. But then, something strange happens. After you've been told by three panels of judges that you're good enough to finally appear in front of Randypaulasimon (with the TV cameras rolling, no less!), you break into your song, only to have all three judges laugh out loud at you, and to have Simon say something like "Do you have a singing teacher? Do you have an attorney? You should call your attorney and sue your singing teacher. That was horrrrrible" You've been set up to be ridiculed on national TV, AFTER you've been pumped up by three other sets of judges. It's cruelty TV at it's highest level."



Pass This On!
