American Idol: Winning, Losing and Cher-ing - Comments Page 2

Like the never-ending Cher Farewell-Retirement-I Still Need the Money tour, I find that I keep coming back for one last gig on American Idol, Season Four. (Except that I don't get paid for my "art" and I am not sitting here wearing a 500-lb. headdress made out of 6-foot tall sequined plumes.)…

    First of all, I love the article--though I may not agree with it..totally.

    I agree that MOST of Vonzell's fans went to Carrie-- but a lot of Vonzell's fans despised Carrie because for 4 weeks, Carrie was the only other female in the competition. So some Vonzell fans were determined to hate her, so when the finale came around and Vonzell was not in the running, they ran for Bo Bice.

    As is what I did. I was a die hard Vonzell fan then she left. Then Bo received my vote. Though, I still didn't like Bo (because I had ignored him for Vonzell), I am now his #1 fan.

    So, I left the sweet Strawberry for the daring Rocky Road.

    As far as closeness of the finale goes, Carrie led the votes by only 133 votes. Fox reported this (the American Idol network), so it is true.

    After all lead critics and polls from the highest places predicted Bo as the winner, it was quite obvious that when he lost, that wasn't the last of Mr. Bice. His single replaced the winner's at #1, breaking history. (Ruben and Clay were released the same day, Ruben automatically went to #2, Clay automatically went to #1). His single, The Real Thing, is a HUUUGE hit. (Expected to be on the next "Now")

    So once again, it's a pleasure to see the winner AND the runner-up, enjoy the sweet taste of success. Congratulations to both!

    Sorry but Cher's Farewell tour was not for the money. Forbes has her networth between 600 and 800 million dollars. She doesn't need the money. =) Show a tad bit of respect.
