]]> I don’t know if she was supposed to say anything but this year’s Dancing with the Stars winner, Brooke Burke, was interviewed and asked about any potential breaking news in terms of next season’s casting.  Guess who’s name slipped from her lips?  Paula Abdul!

I think the American Idol judge could do really well on DWTS so, this is one rumor that I hope is true!  Brooke also said that she would love to see Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, hit the dance floor.  I’d love to see that too!

Some of you have complained about the voting system on American Idol and you’ve said the Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) procedure is better.

Currently, Idol viewers can vote as many times as they can get through during the specified time period. I went to Wikipedia and here’s what I got for the DWTS system:

Scoring and Voting Procedure

The scoring begins with the judges’ marks. Each judge gives a 1 to 10 score, allowing for a perfect score of 30. With multiple performances, the scores would all be added at the end of the program. The scores for all competitors are added together and each contestant’s “judge share” is determined by dividing their score by the sum of all the scores combined and recorded as a percentage. This percentage is then added to the percentage of North American votes received by each contestant. The bottom two couples are identified in the results show, and the couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated.

Do You Think that American Idol Should Adopt a Similar System?
