I just can't f*ucking believe that Scott "chip bigger than my ass" Savol is still allowed to exist on the AI dime. I mean really already, NEVER, EVER, has there been a bigger tool go so far on so little with such a horrible EVERYTHING.
Nadia may be a little to "eccentric" for America, what with her blinding beauty, je ne sais quoi, ecclectic taste, gorgeous style and incredible singing voice - but what does that make Scott? A little too "felonious," "wide," "pitchy," "creepy,"
"falsely confident?" Honestly, the list is endlessly negative.
Worse of all, Ohio is being blamed for this massive failure (pun intended). Look I don't want to go all fat joke on Scott's enormous ghetto-panted ass, as we know, in the end the size is irrelevant. Think Ruben - not a small man, but a really cheerful, sweet, good-natured, kind and charismatic man.
Scott is the anti-Ruben, sucking all goodness, joy, charisma, and soul from any room he is exhausting of oxygen.
He is mean, grumpy, sullen, full of squinty, beady-eyed glares (apparently America likes beady eyes: President Bush) - but dammit, I don't. I like my eyes big and full, heck even googly eyes are better than those damn beady eyes that they keep trying to behind queerly tinted glasses.
The most appalling part of the show last night was when Scott was declared safe and rather than a classy and quiet declaration of relief, Scott practically spikes a football in the face of America and his fellow contestants. It was a hideous display of what lies beneath his girth: hatefulness.
In the past, anyone declared safe would at least reserve some respect for the remaining person - he is such a worthless motherfucking pig (not a reference to size this time). NO class this guy, ZERO.

who the heck if voting for this guy?
dat's what i want to know.
3 - Eric Olsen
rock it Dawn, agree on all fronts, baby
4 - Dawn
argh, I am mad and I am not gonna take it anymore!!
5 - Eric Olsen
agreed Mark: who in THEE HELL is voting for the lumpy turd? All I can figure is the oafish lout vote is a power to be reckoned with
6 - Paul Roy
Jeeez, do you actually know this guy? Sure, he comes across that way on the show, and he is a convicted wife beater, but....OK, I concede your point. His obnoxious shout-outs to Jesus is what annoys me the most.
7 - Eric Olsen
Paul, it is best to keep all arms and legs in the vehicle when Dawn is in full rant mode
8 - Temple Stark
Well, I would have put this on Advance, but then i would have had to drain all the flavor out of it. I believe ya babe.
9 - Bill Bacon
Dawn, you're repressing your feelings again. You know that's not healthy!
10 - Natalie Davis
I wouldn't have worded my thoughts the way you have, Dawn. But OH do I agree with the basic sentiment. I really thought Savol was going home last night -- I mean, he SO blew chunks with the Hall and Oates song on Tuesday -- but, well, this is America, after all. Of course people here would support a Scott Savol over a gorgeous, talented, nonconformist. In a way, I would like to know who is voting for that, um, misguided fellow child of the creator. But then, I suspect I already do. Another reminder to avoid the masses...

I am starting to wonder if people aren't voting for lard-ass out of contempt and just because they want to be contrary. It would really backfire in the producers' faces if Scott's sorry ass went on to win this thing. After all, Paula thinks he's fantastic. But then she needs to be voted off the show too.
12 - Eric Olsen
Paula has relative levels of "fantastic" and Scott is not in her top level
13 - Bruce Kratofil
Alright, I hadn't read a full-power rant by Dawn in a while. They are fun!
14 - Keefer
I didn't like Scott from the get-go because of his attitude. Crappy attitude. Zero charisma. Extremely camera un-friendly... I hope the unsportsmanlike conduct he displayed this week is the final nail in his coffin.
I seriously wonder just how the other contestants get along with him week to week. Curious to find out.

I THINK SCOTT HAS A REALLY GOOD VOICE, YOU ARE GOING ON ABOUT HIS WEIGHT, CALLING HIM EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK,LOOK IN THE MIRROR, I BET YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, YOU CAN'T. GET A LIFE. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY, ABOUT HIS EX.
16 - Steve
Let me take the middle road here.
Scott's weight is not an issue to me. Neither was Ruben Studdard's for that matter.
Scott's domestic violence conviction, though interesting enough that I even blogged about it, has been disposed of to my personal satisfaction. There are guys out there with major movies to their credit who are more violent.
Scott's voice is good. Solid, raw, soul tenor.
His pitch sucks. When Randy says 'pitchy' he's trying to say, in a short-hand way, that Scott's intonation - relating the notes he makes to the music played - is uneven. Even pop musicians have to follow a standard, and all of us know what it feels like to wince at sour notes. Every time Randy tells him "pitchy" I say amen.
That Hall & Oates number was a bad choice for that reason - I checked. The thing covers two full octaves, unusual for your everyday rock or pop song. Scott simply didn't have the pipes to bark out the low beginning, and it undercut the rest of the song.
My problem is that there is something he's just missing. That thing that I think Constantine has, Bo has sometimes, Nadia had and missed out on her chance to really capitalize through poor choices in songs. Carrie may have it, and when her charisma totally meets up with her vocal endowment, she'll be unstoppable. Scott just doesn't pop off the screen, doesn't come across the footlights. It may just be that there is a little director in his head taking up too much room and distracting him from communicating with everyone else in the audience. That's what it is - even when he's whipping off his glasses and rearing back, cutting loose, Scott seems kind of preoccupied. Like, it's too easy to see that he's wondering at every moment, "how'm I doin'?"
That's the hallmark of a performer who hasn't made it in their souls yet. He won't win because he is simply not ready. He takes himself to where ever he wants to go first. A true performer with magnetism takes the rest of us and goes along for the ride.

extremely well put Steve, thanks. AND he comes across as a cracker jerk

When people rant and rave sometimes the general population thinks "ok, that person's a little whacked" but Dawn - you hit the nail on the head girl! I've said it before - the friggin' AI voting is a sham! We're talking about the Fox network here! Don't people realize the power it has?? They're raking in millions from clueless people who actually believe their votes {and their $2.99 per call} will keep their favorite contestant in the running! Scott Savol still being in the line-up is proof! Maybe aliens who resemble bilious toads, like Scott himself, are actually 'beaming' in their votes via satellite! Bottom line, Scott remaining on AI is like stinging nettle in your underwear and Fox is laughing its way to the bank!

Scott Savol Sucks!!!!
This is my first blog ever!! Scott Savol sucks soooooo bad that I just have to say something!!
The guy can not sing!! He has an absolutely shitty voice!! He is incredibly ugly!!!!! Scary looking even!!
His ego is even bigger than Simon's!!! Atleast Simon has a multi million dollar career behind his ego!! But, Scott Savol is a big huge egotistical nothing!!
What is Paula hearing that she keeps complimenting him on?? Even that weirdo red headed kid last season that couldn't sing or dance had more talent in his little toe than Scott Savol has in his whole fat ass creepy body!!
Lack of talent aside what about his conviction?? Remember a couple seasons ago when that real talented black guy was kicked off because he had a prior conviction of assaulting his sister? He was kicked off immediately but Scott was able to stay??!!
Who is voting for this non-talented egotistical asshole?? And, more importantly, how many other more talented singers will have to go home before this ass is boooted???
So, there it is, my first blog!!
I love American Idol!!! Actully, i am totally in love with Ryan Seacrest, even though I am about a decade older than him. Is he still living with Shana?? or is he single??
20 - Jaini
Hey you people that thinks that Scott actually has a good voice...GET THE WAX OUT OF YOUR EARS!!!
The guy can NOT sing!! When Randy calls his performances "PITCHY" He is actually telling the dude that he can't carry a tune!!!
Every season though, it appears that some untalented nitwit makes it into the top group!! Scott is the reason that i will not buy this season's CDs and that ugly gawky untalented red head from last season was why I didn't buy that CD either.
It is because of asses like Scott that I wish they would have us vote to cut someome instead of vote to keep everyone. I would flood the line with votes to cut Scott if I had the option.
How did he get more votes that Bo???
21 - Jaini
One more AI note.
I honsetly can't figure this out. I have been wondering this for years.
Is Paula Abdul white, black or hispanic?? i honestly can't tell.
22 - lono
I just wanted to say I mis-read the title and thought y'all were picking on Steve Sabol of NFL films fame. Frankly, I just would not have tolerated that.
The good news is it seems y'all are talking about American Idol. I haven't been watching it, so please go about your regularly scheduled programming.
23 - Paul Roy
Jaini,
Paula Abdul is Arabic. Hence the darker features.

It's *my Number One Dream that one day, we'll see some celeb or athlete or AI winner get up there on camera and say,
"God's will had absolutely nothing to do with this. As a matter of fact, I just want to thank Satan for everything. He has a plan for me, and I wouldn't be here without him."
* Num. 2 Dream: the relative of some dead tragedy victim punches Katie Couric in the mouth live on TV.
25 - Shark
I hate to say it, but I think Savol has survived based on the support of the overweight, marginalized, homely, skin-head, white trash demographic -- which, as we all know from two recent Presidential elections -- is a HUGE group.
PS: That young, untalented Anthony Federov kid is skating on similar terms: his is the "young, romantic, virginal, *Ken-doll-loving female" audience.
* a male who is attractive to young girls precisely because instead of a penis, his crotch sports a small, unobtrusive lump of harmless plastic.
