FOX announced the elimination results shows for season 13 will only be a half hour, rather than an hour. One big change to the American Idol 2014 schedule is a big cut to the results shows. The new season of AmericaвЂ™s still number one singing competition reality TV show debuted on Wednesday, January 15.

Of course, none of those on-line polls have the kind of real-world stakes as a competition show. At first, having seen how a large number of on-line polls are scammed with bots and masked/phony IP addresses I was actually amazed this is the first time itвЂ™s happened. Because of this, both the texting and on-line voting were disqualified. The size of the venues for this American Idol tour was smaller compared to previous years.I think the first thing that needs to be addressed was the news that the voting system had been compromised.

If the name Jillian Jensen sounds familiar to her, you might remember this American Idol 2014 contestant from her time on The X Factor season 2. One benefit of the new page is it allows the entire playlist of videos to be played as an Adam mini-concert.Jillian Jenson: American Idol 13 Top 30 Contestant Profile. In October, 2009, we added a new page of Adams Idol performances from YouTube.Its very similar to this page but has a couple of extra videos added. So cheaters вЂ“ cut it out!New Adam Idol page.

Sure, removing the votes didnвЂ™t change anything, but thatвЂ™s the wrong question. To me, this makes would make the statement of вЂќ removing those votes didnвЂ™t change any outcomesвЂќ a useless one. Instead, it appears that people were blocked from voting, period.

The answer is yesвЂ¦to a point. The live shows gave me an excellent opportunity to see if the audience choices could really be estimated by the views of the artistsвЂ™ performances. All through this season IвЂ™ve been wondering if there was any real correlation between the YouTube views and the artists standings. Coast-to-coast on ABC.Beyond the issue of the voting problem itself, aВ separateВ issue came to light for me because the only votes that were counted were the ones phoned in and the i-Tunes downloads. IвЂ™m no computer expert though, so if some computer savvy coders and tech people want to weigh in on this, please do!Follow the Heavy on American Idol Facebook page for the latest breaking news, rumors and content The American Idol season 19 finale airs on Sunday, at 8 p.m.

When broken down to the actual homes wired for internet use, the percentage drops to 71%. That number included people who have access to the web through work or the library. Last October, The Huffington Post вЂ“ using the latest US census data вЂ“ set the number of US homes with internet access atВ 1 in 5 вЂ“ 80%.

They are watching the show and voting on the phone, and (if they have Sprint) texting. ( As African-Americans skew to the musical genres of Urban Contemporary (UC), R&B, and Hip-hop, it means that artists of those genres are likely losing out with the on-line and i-tunes voting, and their fans are less likely to be viewing the artistsвЂ™ videos on YouTube. Furthermore this group without home internet access are lower-income households that skew to racial and ethnic minority groups, in particular African-Americans and Latinos. E-readers and tablets are 26% and 31% respectively, and like computers, the higher the income and education level, the more likely a person is to have a smartphone (The statistics are from So basically, more than a fourth of US household have no on-line access at home, which means they have no access to YouTube clips, i-Tunes downloading or voting on-line. While 87% of american adults have a cell phone, only 45% have a smart phone вЂ“ which would give them internet access. The difference in ownership is even higher when it comes to smartphones.

Is it fair to assume that lower incomes buy less music. Plus, you want people who are going to support the artist once they are launched from The Voice, which does mean having disposable income. After all, phone lines do get jammed and you want as many people to be able to vote as possible. Whether he would have if the internet voting hadnвЂ™t crashed is questionable, but in myВ opinionВ I do think that with that performance he deserved it.On the other hand, watching Juliet Simms perform with Ceelo Green and asking myself how the heck did she lose to Jermaine Paul, I can see how having more outlets to vote came about.

An i-tunes vote should only count one time per credit-card charge, or pay-pal account, as opposed toВ essentially letting people buy an extra nine votes. The one change that could make things a bit more balanced involves the i-Tunes downloads. Without a way to match phone numbers to IP addresses thereвЂ™s no way toВ monitorВ platforms so that if you did 40 call in votes you couldnвЂ™t vote on-line.

For instance, I donвЂ™t think many people expected Sarah SimmonsВ (especially not Adam Levine) to be in the bottom two, but Amber Carrington was ahead of her on YouTube. ThatвЂ™s not helpful in terms of supporting the artist after the show any more that the winner voted in by voters who donвЂ™t have much excess income to spend on music.In terms of using YouTube views as a guide to predict an artistвЂ™s popularity, the voting snafu showed me that itвЂ™s useful when you arenвЂ™t dealing with an UC/R&B artist. Right now the multiple votes for i-tunes download also skews the numbers in terms amount of individuals willing to buy an artistвЂ™s song. That still skews against those without home computer access, but at least it would be more fairly earned.

Sarah Simmons is a definite front-runner, so he had to let Caroline go.
