That's close.

That's B.S. There's NO WAY it was that close. This is illustrating something I've said for three years now -- once we're down to the final 4, the voting is nothing more than a stress test of the telephone system's trunk lines. Every possible vote that could have been cast, was cast.

It's why Ruben beat Clay.

It's possibly why Chris went home.

It's definitely why Taylor damn near went home tonight... and why next week it is nothing more than a coin flip to see who can randomly get more phone calls on two sets of phone numbers with identical capacity.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Once this show is down to the final 4, it needs two things:

1) MUCH longer voting periods. Sing on Tuesday. 48 hours to vote.
2) Voting limits -- one vote per telephone number.
