Re: **American Idol The Top 3
Perhaps they do the coinflip after the show, to not detract from Elliot's final tribute and song. And then show video of it at the beginning of the finals show. I have a vague, vague recollection that this might have happened in a year past.

33.68% 33.26% 33.06% That's close. [/ QUOTE ] 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. Jester

People are freaking out at how close it was. RELAX...Kat picks up the rest of Elliot's votes based on the people who vote for the best singer [/ QUOTE ] Also, while the percentages are indeed close, thought it would be helpful to lay this out another way: 50M votes: 33.68% : 16,840,000 votes 33.26% : 16,630,000 votes 33.06% : 16,530,000 votes Delta from First (assumed Taylor) to second (assumed Kat): 210,000 votes Delta from First (assumed Taylor) to third (Elliott): 310,000 votes Delta from Second (assumed Kat) to third (Elliott): 100,000 votes
