A Possible Explanation
OK... At this point I don't remember if someone left the info as a comment or sent us a message, but I just scoured through last night's myspace bulletins, and this is the one that Bailey Brown (she was the blond highschooler from krum, texas that simon was salivating over) sent out to 5,000 of her closest personal friends, many of whom then left her messages telling her they'd voted gazillions of times and spread the word themselves.

Subject Call this number and VOTE for Haley Scarnato :)
Body: Please vote for Haley Scarnato tonight after American Idol airs on FOX at 8/7c. We need all the support and votes we can get. Phone lines are open for 2 hours after the show is over. You can vote more than once.
This is Haley Scarnato voting number for tonights show: 1 (866) 436-5704
Hm. I truly wonder if there isn't an ethical or even legal question here... Surely there must be something from the folks at fox that instructs the contestants they may not use their newfound 15 minutes of fame to influence the outcome of the show once they've left it.

yeah, i saw that last night and was like, i cant believe she is telling all these people to vote for that girl, hayley wasnt even good. but she has been trying to get people to jump on the hayley bandwagon since the day she got kicked off. so, i do think that is why hayley is still here because she posted like 3 or 4 of them. and its not right that hayley is still there because she made a friend that alot of people wanted to see make it through!!
thanks for the heads up susan... i never would have seen the bulletin had you not pointed it out. they fly by pretty fast when you've got lots of friends.
yeah, i know what you mean, no problem, i saw them last night and didnt really think anything about it and never actually thought anyone else would either til i saw the show and hayley was kept on. i just couldnt believe that so many people would let someone else influence their votes, expecially when its someone that isnt even good!!
they're kids.. they can't help themselves. for them, it's the same as student council. may the most popular and the prettiest win, and talent be damned.
yeah, looks like this year is more of a popularity contest than a singing competition. Which is sad because Sabrina has an amazing voice, I wanted to see her in the final 4.
ditto...
oh well.
Makes me wonder now if Baylie Brown is "running" her own "vote for the worst" site since she was such a sore loser about being passed over and Antonella picked Hollywood week! HMMMMMMMMMM
