Another American Idol contestant may be in hot water
The Smoking Gun apparently has a report that finalist Scott Savol was once arrested for felony domestic violence, but eventually a plea agreement reduced it to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and was fined $500 and put on probation.

1. I don't like him, he gives me the creeps
and his voice is not that great. Too pitchy and pretending to be someone he is not, that is talented.

Sorry he has personal problems that may be subjected to public scrutiny, but heck, if he didn't want to ba a public figure, he should not have signed up for "american idol".

2. He has a difficult time defining his pitches. He has to sing
songs with only a few different pitches. Sounds like he may have some sort of vocal chord damage. I haven't understood how he keeps getting votes. He is one of the weakest singers in the contest.

5. It has puzzled me too.
The girl that lost this week should still be in the competition and he should be gone.

6. I agree Scott should have been booted off instead
but he wasn't even in the bottom three!! He apparently must have some fans out there--but will his base leave him if this is true?

I can't believe that Nadia Turner has been in the bottom three two weeks in a row.

7. I was disappointed that Jessica Sierra went.

I thought she was excellent. I'm now rooting for Nadia.

9. I think it's the country thing.
There's a separate show for country singers on the country music channel... most fans of American Idol enjoy pop... so I wasn't too surprised, really.

11. Yes, that's probably true.
Kerrie Underwood may be next, then.

13. Me either, I loved her performance the week before last.
Simon said it was horrible, but I thought it was great!

I also liked last week's performance.

Scott must have friends with computer capabilities that text thousands of votes for him.

It is rigged by his friends, he can't have that many fans. He has no personality at all.

15. Definitely
Maybe her fans thought she couldn't lose and slacked off instead of calling for her.

Maybe Scott will have to take a bow and they will bring her back.

29. She and Vonzell are the best female singers BY FAR
They and Bo should have been the final three.

12. it has never been disclosed
only thing he has said is it is a "personal matter" but some speculate he didn't want to sign the oppressive "American Idol" contract agreement that the finalists have to sign. Even if you are voted out, I think the top 12 still are sent on concert tours and such.

21. I was so sad about Mikayla!
:cry:

I love her voice! She wasn't polished but she's only 16. Or was it 17? anyway... I think we'll hear from her again.

26. I didn't care for her voice, but
She seems like a really, really nice kid. Probably the most gracious AI exit ever.

19. I love Bo Bice
I call him my little Bojangles. And the thing is... I hate Southern Rock, and I'm a lesbian...

And yeah, Jessica should have stayed. Scott or Harry Potter should have gotten the boot.

24. OMG! I actually call him the blond Harry Potter!
I have names for all of them (I'm 40... I'm pathetic).

Constantine is "The Poser," btw. I can't even watch him any more....

28. Me too!!!!
I want Bo in the final. I wish Nadia could sing a liiiitle bit better, 'cause she rocks. But I think Okie has a good chance of making it to the end...
