		<description>Hi Jnelson,

There are so many things that the show does also to influence the outcome of the vote.  Singing first and getting a bad review by the judges can be the thing that sends someone home.  Also, I always wonder about song selection -- does someone assist the singers or do they pick out what they want to sing by themselves?</description>

		<description>It has nothing to do with how many votes a contestant rceives. The judges, especially Randy and Simon make the decision as to who stays and who wins AI. Always has been this way, always will be. Good show tho, lots of entertaining performers this year...</description>
