Ok...can someone in the know tell me if I have this straight:
Each voter ranks each contestant in order (with their countries idol automatically in top place). Then, all the ranks are added up, to result in one single list of ranks from each country.
Then-this is compiled with the rankings from each other country, and whoever winds up with the highest rank at the end is the winner.
Is that right? :(
ummm... welll i don't think each voter ranks each contestant in order. -- people vote. each country votes to their own line. i am only using australia as a example atm. then the votes are tallied for australia. that's where the rank comes from. AUSTRALIA ranks who they have voted, and from australia's ranks (with guy being first) you get a rank order. first rank (guy) = 12 points, 2nd rank = 10 points, 3rd ranks = 9 points


i found this in the tele 22 dec
"Idol voting pointedly puzzling"

"the system awards an automatic highest vote to the country of each idol's origin with viewers unable to vote for the home competitor. for e.g. before guy even clears his throat he will get 12 points from australia. then idol who receives the most votes from australia will be awarded 10 points, the competitor in the second highest vote tally receives 9 points and so on until the person with the lowest number of cotes gets 1. the max points any one idol can get it 112."

this article also mentions that guy sand what a wonderfulk world, so he did only get to sing 1 song!!
and also, something about phone voting. and it says that aussie's voting will COST MONEY!! and for example canada's is free!!

She didnt come top 2.. they said it on the radio (hot 30 countdown) because they have connections with channel 10 (kyle was on big brother) and she said that out of 1.4 million votes.. guy had 1.1 million and the difference between shannon and cosima was about 500 votes... but shannon got through
just thought id mention that lol.. i hate cosima

Even if Cosima did get in...Guy still would have won out of them.

As for hosts-every country is sending along a host. Ours is that guy with the blonde hair who always stares oddly...don't know his name.

It is a disgrace. Plus we got Guy :p
Why 16? I think some countries sent 1, some sent 2 hosts.

"The lottery is a tax for people who can't do math"

I felt this quote appropriate for some reason...

apparantly the judges are horrible, they completely tore the idols to pieces - except guy :D so i think he has a chance?
kelly clarkson probably has a better one coz she's known worldwide...
