I was surprised by American Idol changing their rules somewhat in order to 'save' a contestant from being kicked off because he/she did not receive enough votes from the American public. Perhaps the producers no longer trust the opinions of the voting audience and are scared that they might end up with another Taylor Swift. You might remember him. He won American Idol a few years back and yet his CD did not sell like hotcakes. In fact, I don't think it sold at all, although you can probably find a copy at Overstock.com.
In these shaky economic times the producers want to manipulate the show towards making the big bucks. I got that hint just by watching the auditions and Hollywood Week. Each show you could see them pushing certain singers, and even now you may notice that certain contestants seem to get better lighting than others. It's all about making money. But, I can't help but watch week after week, especially because I can vote now that we're living in the US.
