The judging is flawed. Sometimes they are more correct than others...depending on one's opinion.
Personally, I think they should have the fans at the show polled as 1/3 of the vote, the judges as another 1/3 and the last 1/3 internet voting. Why not let the actual fans have a bit of a say?
ha ha ha ha lets make in American Idol
the judging is as good as it gets , 13 individuals all coming to the same conclusion , you're ignorant how they reach it , what criteria they reach it with of course it's going to be flawed when YOU don't agree , I felt the same way in 1993 when Dorian beat Flex Wheeler , I couldn't for the life of me figure out how , I cried politics , blah , blah , blah , I was routing for Flex Wheeler in 1993 especially seeing his spring showings , then I learned how contests are judged and what they look for and then I realized how far Flex was from Dorian and how great he was that year , I accepted my personal preference was wrong and learned something , give it a try it's liberating

you're to proud to admit you're wrong or may be wrong
