American Idol Contraversy

The 5th question was no longer in effect as of 10 pm EST, May 25, 2011. There were 11 votes for it and it was Lauren Alaina who received the most votes by far.

Should the voting system be changed so as to discontinue multiple votes by any 1 voter, so that there would be only 1 vote per person per week?

Regardless of whether or not you feel it's on the up and up, should there be a mechanism to ensure it is, which would be a neutral and independent team of observers to supervise and monitor the process?

Regardless of the probability of it (and there were 3 petitions on Petition On Line for this), should Pia Toscano have been brought back?

What factor or factors do you think caused the elimination of Pia Toscano?

more people who vote on the basis of subjective appeal rather than singing ability voted and more often than people who place priority on singing ability

more teen girls or females in general, who tend to like male singers, voted

many of her fans didn't vote or didn't vote very often because she was a shoe-in or a front runner

she appealed more to the middle road than the pop/rock category

the voting is rigged

other

don't know/not sure

Who do you think will win now that Pia has been eliminated and if she isn't brought back?

Did the judges use their save too early?

Should the judges have 2 or 3 saves instead of 1?

On what basis or bases do you primarily vote (if you're American) or would primarily vote (if you're not American)?
