Vote on page two. BTW--voters of polls may be TV watchers but not necessarily TV voters. At the same time, people get predisposed to liking someone when they see the names at the top of polls.

Thanks Dusty,I voted ! I hope he gives a kick ass prerformance tonight so those numbers will go back up.He is so talented,he just needs the right song.

i voted too... well, he has 4% now at least

yahh he is soooo good but everyones too hung up on David Archuleta. idk what it is about him. Do they think his toungue sticking out thing every 5 seconds is attractive??

Don't despair everyone,Michael 's numbers are going to keep rising.He knows he has to step it up now, and I'm betting there will be no more holding back.He has the voice,the looks and the charisma to become the next Idol ! Remember as each person is eliminated their votes have to go to someone else.Hopefully that someone will be Michael! Everyone in work today were talking about how great they thoght he did on Tuesday. The word is getting out and people are rediscovering Michael now that there are just ten left!

haha, the tongue thing is SOO annoying. my sister and i counted how many times he did it on Tuesday night. he looks like a lizard when he does it.

One EW poll:

This poll also reflects how itunes are selling--Michael is the 6th top selling singer for this season's AI; it also reflects what happened with last week's bottom 3--he was not in the bottom 3, hasn't been in the bottom 3, while Chikeze, Kristy, and Syesha have all been in the bottom 3. I don't like seeing him be the second to the lowest of the guys, though!


24% David Cook
19% David Archuleta
15% Jason Castro
14% Brooke White
13% Carly Smithson
6% Michael Johns
5% Ramiele Malubay
2% Chikezie
1% Kristy Lee Cook
1% Syesha Mercado




And then there is the EW "power rating"--created by the journalist Michael Slezak, Michael is even lower:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_2...0186103,00.html

1. David c; last week- 2, up one
2. David a; last week- 3, up one
3. Jason c; last week- 1, down 2
4 Brooke; last week- 4, no change
5 Carly; last week- 5, no change
6 Syesha; last week- 10 , up 4
7 Chikeze; last week- 6, down one
8 Michael; last week- 8, no change
9 Kristy; last week- 11, up 2
10 Ramiele; last week- 9, down 2

I agree with Sara, about David, everyone so hung up on him

Yeah thanks. I went on dialidol again today, good news, Michael is almost definatley safe, but duhh that was a great preformance! But 1st is David Cook(my 2nd fave) (and yay! finally someone besides David A is first! but why not michael but then 2nd on dialidol is ughh David Archuleta even though Simon said he was horrible which he was and wasnt that good. Michael was fourth after Carly. But i think thats good enough but proves we have to vote... i'm not saying i trust dialidol i just do when its a ton of votes for someone and not a lot for someone else. But David A is going down now, David Cook is going wayy up and michael is staying the same (4-5) We need more votes and voters!!

Well, that's stupid. Michael is amazing and no doubt!!! Love to count the toung when I'm bored...

Go to EW and vote for Michael! He was 5% this morning!

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_2...87291_2,00.html

39% David Cook
17% David Archuleta
13% Brooke White
10% Jason Castro
8% Carly Smithson
5% Michael Johns
5% Ramiele Malubay
2% Kristy Lee Cook
1% Syesha Mercado



And here are Michael Slezack's "Power Rankings":

1. David Cook no change
2. David A no change

3. Brooke up 1
4. Carly up 1

5. Jason Castro down 2
6. Michael up 2

7. Kristy up 2
8. Syesha down 2
9. Ramiele up 1

At least he has pushed Michael up to 6th. He had praise for last week's performance but wants to see more before rating him top 5.

What??? David A. no change? .. ohh well

It's improving!
