Voting irregularities

Some ridiculous screw-up has postponed the week's American Idol results for one day.

Apparently some people who thought they were voting for Mikalah, Anwar or Jessica might have actually voted for Anthony, Carrie or Scott instead (assuming they were stupid enough to believe that, say, Jessica's number would end in "03" even though she was the last performer).

This won't matter much because either Mikalah or Anthony are going home (assuming the votes are based on who sounded halfway decent as opposed to which contestants are interesting, in which case almost anyone could go home).

The show itself was better this week, with most people delivering competent or better performances. But very few people are showing genuine improvement, or personality. It's only the second week of official competition but it's the fifth week we've seen this same group of people perform. How much better are Vonzell, Nikko, Scott, Anwar, Mikalah or Anthony actually going to get? None of them are truly potential winners, or even potential second placers.

Bo and Nadia are worlds beyond anyone else and Carrie and Jessica are the only other ones worth paying attention to. Constantine is consistently the most appalling overall performer, but he's gonna last at least another month.

It's time to bring on a cheesy theme week to make things a little more interesting.
