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?

I don’t know what to say anymore. Seriously. I’ve tried to be fair – diplomatic even, at the expense of some of my sanity. I think that part of the reason for it was that, with the exception of Gina Glocksen, I’ve more or less agreed with the progression of the show. Now, with Haley Scarnato gone, I am becoming more uneasy. When there were other people who, on some level, were as “bad” as Sanjaya, I got a bit of a laugh out of the situation. But when I heard people talking about him possibly beating out Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle, I started to sweat. Could that happen???? Could it really, really happen? With Sanjaya’s marginally improved performance last week, I think it could. As one writer put it, “the bad singers are more dynamic and intriguing than the good singers.” I have to agree.

Melinda has become so predictable, so methodical, so… boring. It reminds me of when, after the holidays, you have that 1st day of leftovers and it’s still exciting to be eating this fantastic food and then, by the 5th day, you may still love turkey and stuffing, but without any extra pizzazz, it loses it’s appeal.

So, here’s my poll – Do you think that Sanjaya will win? I’m not asking if you think he should win, but I’m wondering how many people think this is just a runaway train that cannot be stopped.

]]> Did the American public make a mistake last week voting off some of the contestants? Which one didn’t deserve to go? Too bad it’s too late to do anything about it now, unless the producers decide to pull a wild-card on us later this season.

The only thing we can do now is cross our fingers and hope the ones we really wished had been voted off will be this week.

So who will it be? Be sure to let us know in our current poll. No excuse me while I continue to repeatedly vote (okay, only once) for Sanjaya Malakar.
