To What Extent Do You Think The American Idol Judges' Comments Influence America's Votes?

It seems that almost all of the time, America votes as if they are obeying the judges. I think they are trying to sway the public to vote Adam Lambert all the way through (which I hope they do). Do you think they influence voters a great deal, or do the majority of AI viewers just have great music sense as well and happen to vote along the same lines as the judges?

I think the judges sometimes point out things that viewers were too caught up in the moment to miss. And that may sway them a bit. But not enough that I think they have any real effect.

Meh, I haven’t watched that show in years though.

It seems that the votes correspond to the whole judge:contestant interaction. I think they do influence viewers to some extent, but there are still those who have their favorites no matter what. GO ADAM!!! Can I just say for a minute that I am IN LOVE with Adam? I’m pretty sure he was sent from divinity to pleasure our auditory nerves (and eyeballs) with pure sex in a voice box. I want to have orgasms with him. Don’t tell my husband.

@eponymoushipster : Singing competitions are ridiculous? How so, sir?

@ubersiren not the concept. the hype surrounding that show is ridiculous, in part because nothing ever comes of it. the “winner” gets a record deal, and with the exception of a few, fades out in about 2 weeks.

Gotcha. It is way hyped. But I don’t think any less comes of it than any other competition. Michael Phelps Olympic competition was a pretty big deal, and we don’t hear about anymore unless he’s getting arrested.
