Oh, they definitely pimp who they want to win, with constant tongue baths. If you remember last year, they did NOT want one of the final two to be Vonzell. They slammed her for singing some torch song with a smile on her face. Then, when Carrie sang Independence Day, which is about spousal abuse and murder, with a big grin on her face, they gave her nothing but compliments. Also, during the final, they criticized Bo's song choice. However, what they didn't say is that those are 19E songs that the contestant has no choice BUT to sing. Think they're not trying to influence the votes??? Think that maybe I have no life and am spending WAY too much time on Idol??
