Pia Toscano Voted Off American Idol This Week: Did She Deserve It?

Are you asking yourself who got voted off American Idol this week? Well, if you don’t know the results of the voting, you might be shocked to find out who’s no longer in the competition. Pia Toscano, the beautiful and talented brunette who sang her way into the hearts of people all over the world has officially been eliminated from the show.

Everyone was shocked to hear the news since Pia was a clear front-runner the past few weeks. She had the voice of angel but couldn’t seem to secure a fan base quite as easily as some of the other contestants this season.

Pia Toscano may not be your American Idol 2011 but something tells me this isn’t the last we’ll see of her. Remember, some of the most successful American Idol contestants are those who never made it to the finals (like my favorite Ms. Kellie Pickler!).

Now that you know who was eliminated tonight, do you think the right person was sent home?

Do you think the judges used the wildcard prematurely when they saved Casey Abrams and should have saved it for a night like tonight?

I know I do!

Leave your thoughts and comments on tonight’s shocking elimination below!

  1. they definatly used the wild card too early. im sorry casey seems like a funny cute guy but at the end of the day it is a SINGING competition. Pia was the best SINGER. Casey is….not.

  2. That so so unfair! She was one of the best. No point to watching the show again Paul should of gone home! I’m so shocked

  3. She should have been the one saved and not went home.I wasn’t a fan of Casey anyway.pia can sing and she was talented.i can feel her pain right now and her crying to sleep every night.i really hope this is not the last of her.she is amazing.Im still a fan

  4. This is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Pia deserves to have won the whole competition. I cant believe this. We have only ourselves to blame. She went home because everyone thought she woukd breeze right through the competition, and no one voted for her becauae no one expected PIA TO GO HOME. I am so upset, I dont think I am even going to watch american idol. This is freaking painful. All I can hope is that j lo, randy, and steven get Pia a record deal. I think she is the best singer they have everrrrr had. Ridiculous. I’m sooooo mad.

  5. Wow! Steffano should have been the one to go! This is shocking. I know Pia was a little drab…and boring. But let’s face it people! The girl can sing. I thought for sure it should have been Steffano. You could see the anger in the judges faces. All you people who are so mad you are saying “I’m never watching the show again” are stupid. It’s Americas fault…NOT Am. Idol’s. This is a joke. The shock factor is one if the great parts of the show…and THIS was shocking! I think they need to re-count those votes. Although I have voted for Lauren this whole time…I think this was the case; Pia was SO good, everyone thought “ah, I’m not going to vote for her, everyone probably is” well…that just goes to show like Ryan said “Make sure you vote!”

  6. She will end up with some type of contract. I can see how this happens. Most of the votes are by women. And all those guys in the bars that Mr. Tyler talked about don’t vote. Don’t worry, we will see a lot more of Pia.

  7. Do only 12 year old girls vote anymore? There’s no way that smiley-but-can’t-sing Paul and boy-band Stephano should still be around ahead of Pia. Terrible.

  8. She had the best voice apart from James. It should have come down to her and James. WTF!! They got it wrong!!

  9. True,Pia has a beautiful, however, she
    picked a Tina Turner song and didn’t
    deliver on the performance end of it.
    I don’t think she should have gone
    home though. It should have been Paul.

  10. Sorry, Pia was great, but what sucked was her song choice, she bored me most of the time due to the song selection. Sing ballards after you launch your career, but give the people what they what to hear. Song choice is what its all about. I’m not saying she deserved to go home, Jacob is just as dull, although another good singer. I would’ve liked to have seen him leave tonight, if anyone had to.

  11. Pia voted out what a joke.they must be in need a more money. this is just crazy. She was the best. Something is awful funny about this.
    A money maker to get more call in votes. I will not be watching American Idol anymore. This is just nuts.

  12. Everyone who is upset by this should not watch American Idol next week. Let the ratings fall like a rock and have the Media report on it to give Pia more publicity.

  13. American Idol just lost half their viewship audience by discarding Pia! Man, that’s like sending Pavarotti home! You just don’t do a stupid thing like that. I and about 100 friends and family in my inner circle have vowed to stop watching AI after tonight. Without Pia this show is done! Finito! Crashed and burned! Over! And out! I’m not watchin’ it the rest of this season. AI producers, you are idiots!! I hope a bunch of you and your staff get fired off of AI!

  14. they definitely screwed the results more than usual!!!!
    pia should have mad it to the finale at least!!!!!!
    this girls amazing, how could she have gotton “voted” off????
    stefano should have gotten voted off…
    no more american idol for me.

  15. so the best 3 in the show in the bottom 3 tonite, REALLY…..??/!!..
    Well it was the best season of them all with the best judges and america’s public screw it up, now is time to change the rules!!!..if they want me to watch another show from A. Idol the contestants have to be voted off by the judges not the public, right after the show this nite took off the remainning program from my tivo.
    ??

  16. EX IDOL FAN says:

    American Idol is Rigged!

  17. We need Simon back. At least he gave some critiques even though they were fairly brutal. At least everyone wouldn’t be told “you rock” or “you nailed it”. It’s hard to believe that anyone even is in the same league as Pia, let alone 8 people being considered to be better than her!!! I haven’t been as surprised since George Bush was re-elected!!!!!

  18. wow this is a shocker! its a clear case of her fans thinking she was a dafe bet bc she was so good, imo. Jacob,Paul still there over her?????????????? u gotta be kidding! I think the girls are jealous. there is something saying a girl hasnt won in 6 years.

  19. AliceCullen says:

    OMG!Pia Toscano was the best singer there and im in shock to see that she has been voted off, I actually started to get tears in my eyes and I am still in utter shock! She really deserved to win and she should never give up and keep on trying the next thing because people will say no but one will discover the talent she has!I<3 U Pia!!!

  20. no this was no right at all! everyone on that show was good but pia was AMAZING!! i dont know why she left the judges no now they should not have used their save on casey and like now im not even gonna watch this show cause i only watched it to see pia sing! and im going with chuck on this dont watch it next week and dont vote for anyone.!

  21. I thought Pia was the most techinically gifted singer on the show, possibly ever on the show. She probably shouldn’t have gone before Stefano but the bottom line is that she didn’t move me as a performer. Just another Celine wannabe without the stage presence.

  22. OMG I AM SO MAD PIA WAS THE BEST SINGER AND PAUL ALMOST GOT VOTED OFF LAST WEEK HOW COME NOT THIS WEEK! I MEAN PAUL OVER PIA PIA WAS MY FAVORITE NAD DID U SEE HER ROCK THE STGE APRIL 5TH OR 6TH WHEN THEY DID ROCK AND ROLL WELL U PRODUCERS ARE NOT GOIN 2 HEAR ABOUT ME WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL AND ALOT OF PPL ARENT WATCHING IT EITHER SO PIA BTTER GET SONME KIND OF DEAL!

  23. How upsetting this was. She is one of the best singers on the show. They Judges saved someone too soon. They should have waited a little later. I now have lost interest in watching the show. I had voted for her many times, but unfortunately people feel she should go through and didn’t vote for her. My best to her as she will have a career in singing more so then the other contestants left on the show.

  24. I believe we have not seen the end of PIA.. Year after year we have seen other idol contestants with contracts and doing much better than the winner. It was truely ashame. Off the tivo it goes.

  25. Remotes across America will be bypassing American Idol .. Too bad. Some great and interesting contestants.. Like, say, Pia. The judges are beating themselves up for saving Casey right now. When only two women remain and the stribgest is gone, 19 Entertainmebt needs a makeover and fadt.

  26. Goes to show that teeny boppers are in control of the voting. Pia was the most talented of all that were left; besides she is a beautiful and talented young woman from New Jersey!!

  27. Shadamholic says:

    She should have been in the final. The top 9 are all great & we can take heart in the fact that we will see her on tour. But I was looking forward to seeing her for Many more weeks…like watching Adam Lambert make it all the way to the end. True they don’t need to win to be great, but I’m mad that America has robbed us of this chance. I have a different method for voting…I don’t just vote for the person I think is best. I vote for
    ALL the ones I think should get to stay.

  28. I was totally shocked!!! PIA is the best singer by far! She gave me goose bumps when she sang. She is the next Star by Far! I pray that she makes it big because she deserves it! By far she was the best this year!

  29. She is a good singer, but a horrible performer. In the scope of the show, the correct person went home. There is no way she is an American Idol.

  30. Pia was absolutely the most talented. Ryan places the blame for people being sent home on the viewers and voters—what about the judges who don’t really say make any comments that helps voters know who’s really great.
    They say everyone “nailed it”. I wish they had the guts to tell the truth. AI may go down the drain if the producers keep this up.

  31. The wild card was used toooooooo EARLY!!!! Pia had the TOTAL IDOL PACKAGE!

  32. THANK GOODNESS SHE IS VOTED OFF!! AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT!!!

  33. I am really disappointed about Pia being voted off so early in the contest. With a voting system that allows 12-year-old girls to text countless votes for thinly talented boys no wonder the best talent can’t win American Idol. I see no reason to watch Idol anymore, until they change the voting.

  34. I can’t believe that America voted for Pia Toscano to go home. America is seriously wrong!!! Pia should have won this show, I also hope that she goes on making music in the music business and sells records better than any star on that stage–we all know who the real winner is!!! This makes me sick and futhermore it makes me not even want to watch the show anymore. Paul can’t sing any note right, and he should have gone home tonight. I think this is not a singing contest, it is a popularity contest and based on their looks, which is really sad. That’s not the way is should be and Pia leaving tonight was a huge shock to many, many people. This is terribly sad, and I hope for a very bright future for Pia Toscano.

  35. America voted the results are in nothing you can do but get your butt off the coach and vote next week.

  36. I was in serious shock that she was voted off. But, that only shows me that they are taking out the best singer so one of the worst singers could win besides james who was the only one who could give her a little bit competition. Wow where is Simon when you need him? Let me guess maybe they liked pitchy Jacob,wanna be rod stewart Paul or stefano who can’t leave his eyes open American Idol wtf were you thinking…

  37. She was incredibly boring….she has a beautiful voice but it’s so one dimensional. She has no stage presence, and was a terrible performer. She was so awkward….If it was a contest strictly on voice she would win, but idol is the best performer….

  38. casey should have gone home not pia.
    is this show fixed or what.
    WTF!

  39. I tried to vote for her several times last night, but was having difficulty getting the calls to go through. I had to keep hanging up and calling again. The line was either busy or was never completed. Did any one else have the same problems? I could vote 5 times for another contestant to her 1.

  40. I think Pia is a wonderful singer and that it was just wrong for her to be voted off. I DO think that the voting is problematical and more adults need to vote, especially knowing how many kids will vote popularly rather than based on the technical ability of a singer. Why is this the end? Why is there no recourse when the judges truly believe a mistake has been made…they saved Casey for the same reason they would have saved Pia this week if they could…because America was wrong and if this is truly about singing than Pia, by God, should still be on this show.

  41. Worst decision in Idol history. Pia was the very best of the bunch. Not sure I can watch now. This is plain wrong.

  42. Really? I though the whole point of being AMERICAN IDOL was to have the whole package. She has no stage presence. Angela Bassett did a better Tina Turner than Pia. She either stands or for her “Up tempo” she walked around the stage. Don’t do Tina Turner if you can’t be stronger than Tina. Would you really pay to see her stand for 2-3 hours while she sings some tunes? She is boring. And AMERICA did let their voices be heard. The judges shouldn’t have a right to decide something different after the vote comes in. No matter what order they go in, they still get their pay day and the point is to get to the best.

  43. what happens is that everyone thinks oh pias safe so lets vote for whoever they think isn’t going to get the votes
    makes me sick that shes gone but i hope she does great things so vote for your favorite but i know that haley has to go i just don’t get her

  44. You people are crazy!?!?! She DEFINITELY deserved to go. Yes this is a singing competition but it also involves likeability and being marketable. She had the personality of a stick. There has already been a Mariah, a Celine, a Whitney and the fact they compare her to them is bogus. Anyone who knows anything about singing knows that her vocal range is NO WHERE CLOSE to them and she does not have the attitude or control over her voice like the previous mentioned did. Paul has AMAZING personality and a likeabilty factor plus he is extremely marketable. Just like Coldplay, all he needs is a good band. Jacob is a present day Luther. Hayle has her niche, stefano has his “ne-yo”, Casey has his different style, Country dude is well… country, Jacob is baby luther and very one of the strongest vocally as well as rock kid who are both by far the most talented vocally….. and PIA had “hey i can sing ballads” which no one is interested in and wont sell any albums. So quit whining, the save was used perfectly, and the right person went home. She had maybe an octave and a half range, James and Jacob have like 5 octave range….. my sisters dog’s bark is more interesting than Pia’s and he has more personality!!!

  45. i cant believe it!!!!!!! she didn deserve to go home she was the best one!

  46. I can’t believe America is so stupid to vote Pia off American Idol. You should be voting for talent and not cute or popular. This is not American Popularity or Cute. Pia definitely got the short end of this voting. I AM HOPING OUR JUDGES ARE SMART ENOUGH TO OVER RULE AMERICA AND PUT PIA BACK ON AMERICAN IDOL. She should be the last one standing. I know there is alot of talent but nothing like Pia. I love you Pia and wish you only the best.

  47. This had to have been an error with the telephone system, because there is no way on God’s green earth; that Howdy Doody (Scott) is even qualified to be on the same stage with Pia. It is hard to believe that America could not see that this is one of the most exceptional singers that have ever graced the stage. It has been my thought that this whole competition, up till now, had already been decided. As far as vocal ability, Pia will be your next mega super star.

  48. She does have the personality of a stick….you said it perfectly. She is boring and horrible to watch….she’s not a performer

  49. Well sorry Pia fans but the girl had an amazing voice, she proved she could hit the notes but she did the same thing every single week, Even the Tina Turner song she did the same hand motions,barely put any emotion into it,(her performance last night was terrible) Trouble is she only knows how to sing ballads, she has NO PERSONALITY whatsoever, she is beautiful,I agree she will go far in her career,she isn’t American Idol,American Idol is using the WHOLE STAGE with a GREAT voice and EMOTION

  50. I am shocked.. She is The best singer. She’s Beautiful with a voice to Match. There are way worse on that show. They should have use the save for her. Gosh Vote off Haley or Steffano.

  51. American voted and the decision was right to let her go….she was always the same….no diversity…very awkward on stage….

  52. Idolzgotitright says:

    Pia was absolutely a knock out and had a “trained ” voice like Thia does. But, she wasn’t able to let her “hair down” and lacked personality. However, PAUL should have been sent packing a long time ago. What a no talent Rod Stewart clone! He’s next to go!

  53. The real winner never wins. Pia was the best performer of the group. Everyone should boycott the show. What justice is this ? It is so unfair-it is not based on talent but
    popularity.

  54. I don’t think this has anything to do with the judges using their save too early…she shouldn’t have been put in a position ever to have to be saved! America messed this one up and no one else. Maybe next year they’ll let the judges have a say in who stays and who goes rather than giving them one save. America is not to be trusted anymore!

  55. Little girls have ruined AI. They just vote for the boy they have the biggest crush on. It doesn’t matter to them if their singing is just fair. Also, I think some girls were jealous of Pia’s beauty and talent. It’s a shame girls have to be like that.

  56. I agree, she didnt have a great singing personality but come on, you cant say you buy someone’s album because of how they perform instead of how well they sound when they sing.

  57. Jennifer Hudson left idol fairly early and look at her career. Pia is so talented. We will see more from her.

  58. I agree, I think we should boycot the show. There’s no reason to watch it now because the two best voices have already been voted off, Kendra and Pia.

  59. American Idol has pretty much gone to crap with how the little girls love the young boys no matter how they sing but as for me I was going to stop watching it after Simon left but since they brought in Steve Tyler, well he is the ONLY reason I watch now.lol

  60. If only she had listened to Jennifer who told her to command that stage; if she could work that stage like Celine D., and lift her legs and shimmy like Tina Turner… she would still be on the show! I know that she can… but we won’t get to see it, at least not now. (sad face)

  61. They need some better judges on the show, that would not save someone like they did so early in the competition. Simon would not have let that happen.

  62. Sorry but while Pia was pretty and had a beautiful voice she lacked the entertainment value. She was boring to watch where on the other hand I can wait to see what James, Paul, and Casey are coming up with. I think the save was used correctly I love Casey! :)

  63. Eileen Cooper says:

    Pia being sent home!!What a crock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She is the most talented of all the girls!!And most of the guys!
    Idol needs to change their voting system.and I have thought that for years.One vote ,for one contestant.You shoudn’
    ,t,be allowed be vote for a contestant more than once!
    I have been an idol fan for years,but after tonight,that may very well change!
    How in the hell did Stefano,Jacob,Haley,and
    Lauren beat Pia?
    If Simon was still here,this would not have happened!
    I love all the judges this year,but they aren’t really judging1They are telling everyone that they are good
    with very little guidance as Simon would have done!
    Can’t wait for X Factor!!
    Pia,you were screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    t

  64. THANK GOD SHE’S GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So freaking boring plus she sang like she was a 50 year old woman.

  65. @ Whocares: ummm…. bottom line how bout these artists…. USHER-KE$HA-Lady Gaga- Trey Songs – Pink – Gwen Stefanie – Will i Am (black eyed peas) MICHAEL JACKSON (HE CAN SING AMAZING TOO THO) Coldplay – look up this person… not many people know of Florence and the Machine – Dog Days are Over… check it out and tell me if Pia even COMES CLOSE to comparing…. look up Jessie J – Do It Like A Dude…. she aint got nothing on them… you OBVIOUSLY dont pay any attention to today’s music…. KE$SHA aint getting rich off of her voice…. just sayin

    personally I SAY GO PAUL!!! He truly knows who he is as an artist and you smile every time he sings. And he got his own style. He isnt trying to BE anyone.

    I’m not saying he has the best voice or should win the show but he has the TOTAL PACKAGE. Pia has a great voice for a Disney Song… so if they make more Mulan’s and Cinderella’s she is set!!!

  66. Pia has a wonderful voice and she’s certainly beautiful, but she has absolutely NO stage presence. There’s no personality behind the big voice and she’s extremely stiff onstage. She belted out a great song last night but JLo was right when she tried to tell Pia that her movements were not matching the music.

  67. Rich Toscano says:

    I’m never going to watch the show again. Pia was the best that ever came along to American Idol. She has it all!!!Better than all the rest put together. No comparison at all. I think all the votes came fromm little kids that don’t know what talent is. She was born with it.She was really robbed, but you watch and see!!!GUARANTEED

  68. My husband and I could not believe what was happening before our eyes. I thought it was a joke….I truly thought Stefano was going to go. Neither my husband or I will watch again….this is SO NOT RIGHT. Pia has it all! She is FANTASTIC. They are ALL wonderful and prove they belong there, but Pia has CONSISTENTLY been on top of her game. I just hate that the ONE time she goes outside of her box, she gets voted off……NOT FAIR. This last performance was one of her BEST performances….PIA, I hope you are reading this, or soon do..WE LOVE YOU!

  69. makes me wonder… taste levels of the voters…or was it a diabolic fix to drum up drama and lurid interest to get more TV watchers?
    shame that money hungry producers sold their souls at the expense of upcoming eager and talented young singers.
    dirty business. singers keep your notes pure. and stand up for who you are.

  70. Tiffany Taylor says:

    The judges should have NEVER used the save so early. I knew something like this would probably happen. Pia is so beautiful, it seems, on the inside and out. She had a beautiful singing voice and was sooo willing to continue growing and working on everything the judges and other music professionals told her. It’s an absolute shame that America got this wrong!!! She was the complete package. I’m so disappointed and after devoting 10 years to the show, I’m seriously considering throwing in the towel. It just seems so ridiculous! Come on voters….get real!!

  71. Hey Steven ,Let Pia open for Aerosmith $$$$$$$$$$$

  72. horsesrculio says:

    I AM SO SAD! SHE ROCKED AND SHE Was also preetty and talented.

  73. Ginger Lueck says:

    I am so pissed off! What a joke! Pia was one of the best singers on American Idol! I voted for her consistently and she deserved to be at least in the top three. What good does voting do if the best singer (Pia) gets voted off. I am so mad that I don’t even want to watch American Idol anymore.

  74. What is everyone talking about?? are you blind?? lol, PIA was ZZZZzzzzzz boring!!! too many ballads, and not even good ones. She was voted off because she was a one note! she had nothing else to offer, no personality on stage, and in fact lauren has a much better voice than PIA, american idol is also about versatility, personality, stage presence, and PIA did not possess all of this, she stood there singing her boring ballad, and people liked her because she is pretty. thats it!!! boring!!!

  75. No point in watching American Idol now.

  76. This is just so wrong! Pia was the best talent on this show. I can only hope she gets recording contract offers and goes on to prove how wrong everyone was.

    Love you Pia!

  77. Sean got it right. No doubt Pia can sing, but the judges kept saying turn the performance on or it’s going to catch up to you and it did. I agree that Casey should have gone and the save was used way to early. This year everything is “beautiful”. Where’s Simon when you need a “great singing but the performance was horrible.” Melinda Doolittle could sing the phone book and she got voted off too and has had minimal success since. That’s Idol.

  78. Shame, shame shame that Pia went home. She was starting to open up. I agree voting needs to change.
    Not excited to watch anymore.

  79. Voting in A.I. is subjective. What’s a good singer for some may not appeal to others. It doesn’t mean that if singer X is better in terms of physical looks and/or higher vocal range he/she necessarily has to win. I think Pia appeared as a “cliche” for most voters. The current voters in A.I. might be looking for someone more free spirited or unexpected. People get easily bored with what is predictable – hence, Pia got the lowest votes. There is no right or wrong in AI voting, it’s only “like” or “don’t like” and the majority rule. People who were disappointed with Pia’s vote off are obviously fans and they should realize that their idol was not the favorite, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been eliminated.

  80. I don’t know if Pia should have won or not because there’s so many talented singers this year. However, I am completely shocked that America prefers Haley Reinhart over Pia. Fer Crissakes! Haley growls and trawls the stage like an 8 year old girl’s misconception of what a sexy woman does. Looking at everyone’s faces as Pia’s name was announced showed that the judges and contestants knew what the talent pecking order was and were shocked to find that success doesn’t necessarily depend on degree of talent.

  81. Wife and I will no longer waste our time watching a show that just let their best talent go. Way to lose.

  82. Pia Toscano was clearly the “BEST” and most beautiful Talent that ever graced the American Idol stage. I blame Jennifer Lopez for constantly overly criticizing her for not being a “dancer” and stating that she needs to do more! What more? She was perfect!! She had excellent range, depth, composure and raw talent. The last time that I checked, American Idol is a singing competition and not a dancing competition. Although Pia sang perfectly week after week, Jennifer always managed to have something negative to say or to give her a back handed compliment. I blame Jennifer and Randy for constantly comparing her to Celine, Mariah and Whitney Houston, who can no longer hold a note. I sincerely believe the constant criticism by Jennifer, wanting more and more from Pia, caused voters to be overly critical of her unnecessarily. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT ABOUT PIA TOSCANO: HER LOOKS, HER VOICE, AND HER PERSONALITY. SHE WAS CLEARLY THE BEST. I CAN ONLY PRAY SHE LANDS THE BEST RECORD DEAL EVER. “CLIVE DAVIS” SHOULD BE CALLING HER SOON.

  83. I Hate HAILEY says:

    Hailey sounds like a drunk dog infected with an ear disease…she howls and growls for mercy….the judges and the voters..i think have an infected ear!!!!!!!!!!

  84. Having such talent eliminated so soon is bad for AI and bad for America; the rest of the season will be bleak without her! AI producers need to revisit/revise its *save* rules and let the judges override such lunacy more frequently…something needs to happen anyway, but not what’s we’re getting!!

  85. The problem is simple, America can’t just vote for thier favorite or this will continue to happen. “Why?” you ask. Because America should vote for the worst, and whomever has the most votes should go home! We may all have different favorites but the majority all agree who should be on the bottom. This way the best can stay and America only has to vote for 1. Problem solved. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this???

  86. Pia was my favorite…and I had a feeling she’d be voted out early because of her ‘quiet’ personality. Another poster here was right: IDOL has become a personality contest. Why else would the useless Scotty still be in the competition? Pia was clearly the best vocalist in the bunch…

  87. I really didn’t think America looked at who they voted on, come on for pia to be off it complete bull shit she’s extremely talented, she’s real, she has charisma and she should have another shot. America is truly blind look at our government

  88. very disappointed
    not very excited to watch anymore
    do not know who I want to win know
    the judges should have more control
    we need simon

  89. Once again America has gotten it wrong. All these comments like “i am never watching the show again, blah, blah, blah” Let’s get it straight, PIA was eliminated by the people who vote, or in this case people that didn’t. The judges loved her, i loved her and apparently so did all of the people on the site, but honesty did you vote for her? I did, but like so many they figured she was safe and didn’t bother. Before you complain about the show or judges and post a stupid comment, ask yourself did AI let Pia down or did I?

  90. The results of Pia voted off has caused my wife and me to never watch the program again.

  91. Really? She had to go sometime. She wasn’t going to win it all. She was boring. Durbin rocks, McCeery is awesome, Stephano is cute. Only one can be the next American Idol

  92. Yes it sucks. She is an amazing singer and she got jipped. I voted for her many times and it’s not fair, but crap happens when you have this many people voting. Most all of the contestants on American Idol this year have been really good. The top 13 were all very good in their own way. The ones remaining are very good too and deserve to be watched. But yea, Pia should have been there till the end. Makes me sick, sick, sick. I will miss her. We could all not watch idol because we’re pissed, but what would that accomplish. We are the ones that were suppose to vote. It is a very good show and it does help singers get noticed regardless if they win or not. I will continue to watch regardless because the ones that are left are very good also. We just happen to lose a very marvelous one tonight. Hopefully, if the recording companies are in their right mind, they know that Pia is an awesome singer and performer and will promote her anyway!!!!! Love ya Pia.

  93. Ok so Im shocked she’s voted out i thought because she is beautiful she would be one of the last standing if not the winner … But based on performances i think she should go home . Yes she can sing … but she does NOT entertain! Not like say James puts on a show or even Paul! so yeah i think the right person went home !

  94. The fact that Pia did not receive a sufficient number of votes to remain on is quite surprising. I do wonder if there might have been some sort of error in the voting mechanism on Wednesday night. It is possible.

  95. While Pia was not my personal favorite, I believe the judges should have used their save for her. Casey is talented but not the WOW singer that Pia is; she’s got something truely special and now she’s gone too soon. I thought she would be in the top 3.

  96. They should do something American idol has never done and bring Pia back!!! America should be ashamed!!!

  97. Reading through some of the FICTION (BSF). I finally found the facts. THANK YOU MONIQUE. YOU GOT IT TOTALLY CORRECT!!!! YOU GO PIA! FORGET ABOUT AI! I’m going to and there’s NO GOING BACK!!

  98. we love u pia… paul!!! and casey!! both of u r sucksss!!!! she’s not deserve to be voted out. gonna miss PIA TOSCANO

  99. Idol has lost all credibility.

  100. The TOTAL PACKAGE was just sent home.
    Wake up people.

  101. no pia should not of got voted of i like her but scotty is my fav

  102. Pia obviously had a great voice…but NO PERSONALITY! You need both to be an “idol”!

  103. Kevin, Grisel, And, Robert says:

    Pia was the most complete because she sang great, she had a great attitude, and she was the best one there, im very upset, and now its not worth watching so i wont watch the show anymore!! I almost had a heart attack!!!!!!

  104. I totally agree with Mikey. We should be voting for the one we would like to see voted off. I have said that again and again. Do you guys really think Kris Allen had a greater “stage presence” than Adam Lambert? Or Taylor Hicks over Daughtry? At least “Dancing with the Stars” is based on 1/2 judges opinions – maybe they should try this?

  105. I had the expectation till the very end that the judges might pull out another safe and let Pia continue. I mean , i kind of had the feeling that Pia mite be in the bottom 3 coz her last performance was slashed by JLO a lil, but couldnt even dream of her getting eliminated. When just a screamer like James, and a no good Hayley, all smiley Paul, Elvis duplicate Scotty , just a hummer Casey , girly Jacob, confused Steffano, and an OK Lauren can still be on the show , how can the best of all Pia get eliminated. What is America upto ????

  106. AI is not about “voting someone off”, it is about making sure you: vote for someone you want to STAY! We all have ourselves to blame for thinking Pia was a shoe-in and not voting for her to stay in the competition. The judges should have saved their “save card” for such a situation that happened last night.

  107. God must have loved stupid people, clearly he made a lot of them.
    Worst decision on idol ever!
    Pia may not be everyones fav but talent wise she was clearly the best vocalist there.
    All 9 are very good. Pia is great.
    I won’t be watching the show from here on out as the teenie boppers that control the votes have spoken. It’s their show.

  108. sending Pia home the best of the best was unbelievable! not going to watch again. if you think that Pia should not have been eliminated, don’t watch and see the ratings drop. Keeping Paul, Stepheno and Haley over Pia, UNBELIEVABLE!!

  109. It is so gender based because majority of voters are definitely woman and young girls who vote for the guys. They base it on looks for the most part. I do think James deserves to be there hands down, but others definitely could have went before Pia. I do not think it will end for her because out of them all she has the whole package and will go far. She seems to be the type that wouldn’t take no for an answer and continue her dreams. She comes across as a strong woman who is confident and knows she got it. I can’t wait to listen to her music and see her rise in fame!! I only tuned into American Idol to hear what song she would sing, what outfit she would come out with and be in awe with her performance!!

  110. yeah..she definitly should go home. She can only sing ballads and lack of performances. Get real people…!! . One of the male will win AI. Girls can go home.

  111. MIKEY, YOUR A GENIUS!
    AI should definitely change the voting system!

  112. I do not believe this is a true singing competition. All of the contestants have talent this year, some more than others. This is popularity du jour. Judges with experience and training should be making the decision, not viewers who merely pick up a phone. This is a TV show; it is not a test of true talent. I won’t be watching again.

  113. I had already picked Pia to go … she is a ‘boring’ singer … high singing is not bad, but lower no good.

  114. I am very upset I think they got the numbers wrong. WE NEED SIMON BACK. The judges killed it for her. J-lo giving telling her to keep changing. The show sucks now..

  115. Pia was the best, she should have been in the final four. I voted for her. I hope they change the rules to have 2 saves instead of just 1. Pia is not done, i am sure we’ll hear from her soon.

  116. I blame the judges. They were too weak-willed to save their one and only “save” for when a real shocker would hit and it was obviously needed. Anyone who has ever watched a full season knows there will be at least one shocker and THAT was why they added the “save” feature. NOT to save an average singer like Casey who even admits himself he did not feel he was entitled to the save.

    I blame the weak willed Jennifer Lopez who has a pathetic crush on Casey and needs to be more objective. Steven Tyler is too weak to say no, and Randy fell victim to the peer pressure.

    Simon would have said good bye to Casey but I guarantee SIMON would have SAVED PIA.

    Good luck Pia, I am sure you will still be very successful!

  117. I think Pia is very talented and beautiful but like several people stated, she didn’t have much personality and lacked stage presence. It just got old after awhile. The entire package requires more; talent, personality, stage presence, connecting with the audience, and just being an overall great entertainer.

  118. Let us not be gullible .Idol is a TV show and they go for the “shock value”.
    The producers decide who leaves , not voters !

  119. I agree with most people here that the judges used the save to early and rule changes are necessary!! Something like Americas votes count for 60% and the judges 40% for a final total score….Seacreast said it best at the end of the show last night STAY WITH US THIS SEASON He knew her talent was needed for the show to keep having the high ratings…BUT…Thats tough to do when you lose one of the top 3 best with over 2 months left to go!!
    Im done watching till the rules are changed somehow.

  120. WE THINK IT WAS VERY WRONG OF WHOEVER IT WAS TO VOTE PIA OFF THE SHOW SHE DIDNT DESERVE TO GO,SHE SHOULD OF STAYED AND STEFANO SHOULD OF GONE,AND WE THINK THE JUDGES USE THERE SAVED TO SOON,IT WAS VERY WRONG BRING HER BACK ON STUPIDS

  121. Idol is suppose to produce the BEST new singer.. PIA HAD THE WHOLE PACKAGE!! I am not watching for the rest of the season. She was clearly heads and shoulders above the rest. If truly the best singers do not win, I do not want to watch. VERY BAD FOR IDOL.

  122. To the producers of the show:

    You wanted to add drama to the show
    You want me to believe that your top
    contenter was voted off
    You want me to believe that Clay and Rubin were voted in the bottom 3(the two top contenders)
    Except we knew that Clay and Rubin would be there in the end
    Thanks for the Adam decision
    Thanks for the Pia decision
    Thanks for the Iggy moment
    And finally thanks for helping us to
    make a decision after 9 years not to watch your show.

  123. america got it right, she had a good voice but lacked the star quality…although the nose did it for me sad she cant get it fixed bc it will mess up her voice

  124. i can not belive she went home i started to cry she was so amazing as soon as i woke up i just thought about her can not belive it people in this world may think she is not the best but shes better then any one who has ever been on american idol and that includes lauren alaina do not vote for her im just so upset she has left the stage next time she comes if she come im voteing for her 100 times ive done it before and im not afraid to do it again help me vote for her please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  125. Theresa Giuliano says:

    First of all, Paul has the least talent of all of them. The others are very good. This is a singing competition and Pia is the best singer. She should not have been thrown off at all. Yes she needs a little help in the performance end, but it doesn’t take much to teach someone like her to dance and move better on stage. This is insane. She is the idol package. All she needed was a little guidence and she will become a great star. Truly, truly a mistake was made last night. You know she will definitely get picked up by someone. Pai, good luck, you deserve it.

  126. Jennifer Lopez and her comments about Pia is why Pia went home.period

  127. she wasnt that good…she was gorgeous, and well dressed, but her voice was not melodic enough, if you know anything about singing, clearly could hear she was screaming when holding notes…def not in the celine or j hud category…

  128. america did the right thing! pia was one word: BORING! like watching paint dry. yes, she can sing, but so can a lot of people. she was awkward, fake, no personality or stage presence whatsoever. look at the artists on billboard’s top ten right now… most of them aren’t getting rich off their voices!

  129. I have been on a number of sites reading viewers, comments and have noticed that all of the negative comments are written by females. No doubt young teeny boppers who are jealous of Pia’s talent and beauty. I think the problem with the judges is Jealous Jennifer who feels threatened by a younger, more beautiful brunette singer. Scotty is boring! He is so awkward to watch on stage. Hayley screeches and is unattractive to watch. Stefano sounds like a karaoke singer. These 3 are way worse than Pia.

  130. Forgot to add that Pia was the best and it was clear from the beginning since she is the whole package. My husband and I refuse to continue to watch American Idol since the show is controlled by viewers who vote for their favorite male crush.

  131. American idol is a joke. The judges should have half the vote. Without Pia you now have “American Amateur.”

  132. I seriously believe that there must have been some kind of electronic error in the count. Please provide me the demographics on the voters. Obviously this has become American Teen Idol. Come on Paul not even in the bottom three with no power what so ever, Really who will buy one record? Pia is on of if not the best in the contest. I had stopped watching for a couple of years ago but decided to try again after hearing her. I am done!!! now as I am not interested in being involved in a talent search that I must not understand (tongue in cheek). Back to cable news unless this wrong is righted.

  133. PIA getting voted off last night was the biggest joke. She would have won
    the whole thing. I really believe this country is going to the dogs.
    Also, Jennifer Lopez thinks her shit doesn’t stink, she never has anything good to say about anybody.
    I will not be watching this show anymore because it’s FIXED.

  134. Its a sad night when at least 6 others with less talent (key word, talent) were allowed to stay and Pia has to go. I blame the judges. Jlo was jealous of her, Steven never has anything constructive to say and Randy is too busy trying to act important.

  135. I couldn’t stand to watch Pia. I cringed each time she came on. Her whole persona was sickening sweet, peachy keen, perfect smerfect, and mama’s little sweetheart. Her performances were over shadowed by her glistening teeth and perfect everything…except peformance, substance, warmth, AND connection. Nope, this was no mistake. It was the right time for squeaky to go.

  136. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?!
    PIA WAS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST ONE IN THE WHOLE GROUP!! SHE WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN VOTED OFF. I AM SOOOOO ANGRY AT THE DANG VOTERS. I VOTED FOR PIA EVER SINCE WE WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE. THIS IS A MISTAKE. I HOPE IT WAS A TYPO OR IDOL WILL DEFIE THE RULES AND LET PIA STAY. OR CASEY WILL LEAVE AND PIA WOULD STAY. OR STEFANO WILL SAY THAT PIA IS BETTER THAN HIM AND HAVE HIM LEAVE. I AM COMPLETLY DEVASTATED AND WILL BOYCOTT IDOL UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING. I ALSO HOPE IDOLS VIEWERS AND POPULARITY WILL PLUMMET. THIS IS A TOTAL MISTAKE AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST DECISION ON IDOL.

  137. Last night I was sobbing and I am not a crier Pia if your reading this you are the best singer that I have ever heard you don’t deserve to be voted of you are the best singer I have ever heard !!! I love you pia your amazing

  138. get obrt youtselves…america has spoken and she did not get the votes. doesn’t mean she won’t go somewhere. look at jennifer hudson, daughtry, and kellie picker to name a few. she can sing ballads but who cares. and she has no personality. yes, they did the right thing using the save for casey. he has personality to spare. pia looked shocked…like oh, no not me. get over yourself. you are human too.

  139. I hate it I hate it I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!! The save was used too early!!!!! Pia was the shining star in the competition, and the fact that she was eliminated:…. Brought me to tears…… Pia was amazing and I am so sad she never had the chance to reach the Finals….. America caused this….. And America needs to fix this!!!!

  140. john mcdearmid says:

    Pia is like a dream girl she is hot hot hot and can sing sing sing i very disapointed that she was voted off if there was a time for a save now would be the time.mind you im sure she will be the most famous of all idols ,if she puts out a cd im sure it will hit the Top of the charts.bring her back !!

  141. Elizabeth Smith says:

    I am shocked that the most talented singer American Idol has ever had was voted off last night. Pia should have won the whole thing. The results must have been miscalculated. I am not interested in watching American Idol anymore now that the Pia is gone! American Idol should find a way to bring her back. Maybe a second wild card.

  142. FIGUREITOUT! says:

    This must have been a bad vote considering Paul or Jacob or Stefano should have left way before Pia. Lauren is still in and she def. knows how to sing…. stopping watching the show cause Pia left isnt gonna change the results of the show or bring her back. America voted! idk for you all but for me… when this season started Pia was my top 3 Fav. and every week she fell down because she let it go up to her head. she started to think she was better and acting like she was… and that was the biggest mistake she could have ever made.

  143. I will never vote again!!! After this upset, I’m not sure that I will even watch the show. Pia should have definitely ended up as one of the top two contestants. I truly believe this show is fixed.

  144. Amazing that most of the unflattery comments are coming from women?? Pis is very talented, amazing vocal range, great figure,beautiful face, sweet and humble personality.
    She is STAR material and I am certain will make it big!
    Yes ladies there is alot there to be jealous of….
    Frankly I am really not interested in watching a show ruled by young kids voting for the next heart throb and women who are threatened by ones beauty!

  145. hey guys guess what i am so mad but in wikipedis it say that 2700 people sined a petition to giv e her a second chance

  146. pia belonged in bottom 3 but should not have gone home home before stefano or jacob or lauren for that matter, but she had 5 weeks to wow people and obvioulsy she didnt, i liked her alot at first but was totally bored with her by this week as was everyone i know that watches this show.

  147. what a pathetic decision america. pia was the best singer on the show, i am still in shock she got voted off. i wont be watching this show again until at least next season.

  148. i don’t care as long as scotty wins

  149. Pia needed to go home within the next 3 weeks so no big deal. I’m shocked how many people liked her. She was very one dimensional. Good singer but really boring. A Celine Dion wannabe. I am glad she’s gone.

  150. JayFoxbarry says:

    Although the contestants this season are more talented than past seasons, overall, Pia was the best singer.

    It’s a shame that AI has become a young female tennybopper show, voting not for talent, but for sexual popularity.

    A good record producer will grab her and turn her into the singing star she is. This is not the end for Pia -only the beginning.

  151. Why is everyone bashing the show. Its the voting viewers who did this.

  152. I think everyone needs to stop watching idol..this is such a mistake the comuter would not even allow the votes to go through..Pia, should be there no matter what,,I can;t believe this. I will never watch again,,and I hope others do the same.

  153. The show lost all credibility over The best singer ever to be on Ameican Idol Getting knocked off. This is now just like pro wrestling…I will not have my Tv on AI no more …It will lose ratings over this Travesty. And for all you very very jealous woman you should be.I know your posting now as men to try and make your point..But we men aren’t as stupid as commercials make us seem. Jennifer thanks for acting like Simon I Thought he was gone another Jealous woman

  154. Sorry to see Pia leave, she has such a great voice,I am shocked that she was voted off. I think Paul or Scotty should have been the ones to be sent home. NOT FAIR !!!

  155. Just goes to show the voting demographic consists of 9 -15 -year-old girls with no taste. It is a travesty that Pia was dropped – let’s hope somebody (Randy maybe?) gets her a recording contract – we need a new diva.

  156. Pia did not have a personality that viewers/voters warmed up to … she sang beautifully and her confidence was off putting … it also didn’t help that she promised for two weeks to speed things up (and twice sang ballads anyway) … so viewers/voters felt lied to … and when she did speed things up it just wasn’t that good … whether she hit all the notes or not

  157. How foolish of the judges to use the save so early in the game!!!!! Boy, they really needed it last nite. Pia is the best singer on this show

  158. Pamela Ann LaBonte says:

    Pia, My not be the show american idol but I can assure you she is the people american idol. this show has screwed up jugding pratices for sure.

  159. This competition is not just about singing, it’s about performing. She may be pretty but this is not a beauty pageant. The has ABSOLUTELY no stage presence and in a competition where ALL the finalist at VERY GOOD singers, who have to bring a bit more to remain in the competition. How can you sing a song like Tina Turners rag doll and not move … she got herself voted off.

  160. Well someone had to go, and yes Pia hss a beautiful voice she pick the wrong song… You gotta remember these are people who are young singers singing older artists songs if you ae going to choose a song choose one that was a huge hit… Very boring song. I love james he suffers torrets syndrome, and i m very proud of him for getting up there and not letting his disability take over.

  161. The judges r stupid. Casee sucks. Pia shouldve won but nobody voted for her because everyone thought she would be safe.

  162. OMG folks, everyone has a choice to vote for who they like best, I’m not a teenager, but I like James’s style of music. Pia will do fine, someone will pick her up. It’s no different then other seasons when better ones went home. They should only allow everyone 2 votes instead of 50. The judges are ignorant, the other singers must of felt awful after their outbursts. The judges haven’t been critical at all, if they were maybe Paul, Casey etc. would be home by now, they need to get a job playing in bars. There are only 3 girls left Lauren, Haley and Jacob, but that’s how people vote, I know a lot of people that didn’t vote for Pia as they didn’t enjoy her, boring, and we sure aren’t teenagers voting for the guys, Lauren my be young but she has a great personality, so we enjoy her. Every one has there choice of voting for president ect. so get a grip people, quite acting like little kids pouting, I’m not watching idol again, so what don’t watch it.

  163. Pia didnt get enuf votes cause women around America have jealousy issues. Would rather get rid of something great so they dont have to stare at it and compare themselves the whole time. My opinion. She’s too pretty…sings too well… and maybe too sweet. All good things by the way

  164. Sorry, but they got it right! So boring, never looked forward to watching her sing. Too predictable… really, just a snooze.

  165. i am in the minority who thinks that pia’s performance was not all that good. i think people like creative growly soulful…not so perfect sound nowadays…at least that is me. she is talented…but just doesnt have a current sound…she has a sound for vegas or broadway or easy listening. sorry…slam away.

  166. Forgot to say though, she makes a great lounge singer or wedding singer.

  167. the bottom 3 should have been, from lowest: Scotty, Paul, Stefano.. not Jacob and Pia, seriously are Americans tone deaf?! and between Stefano and Pia, come on!! Pia out?! wth!!

  168. So the judges use their save to bring back the dirty frat boy and the rest of the country keeps voting for a cheesy southern hick, and the rest of the brady bunch, esp that wailer James, who needs to shut the f*** up!
    Stefano and Paul are still in it because of all them starry eyed teenage twats who can’t get enough of their generic looks.
    Pia and Lauren are the only ones who can sing! What the hell is wrong with everyone who is voting?

    I’m not watching Idol anymore.

  169. Pia was ripped off…….Caseyy ( Eddie Munster ) never should have been saved

  170. Pia got voted off because she was boring and lacked stage presence. She barely moved up there, and you all know this. She did not have the whole package. When America watches A.I., that is what they are looking for. They want to see it all. I know that is what I’m interested in. Yes, she was sweet, humble and beautiful, but she needed to really step it up with her dancing. I was waiting for her to really wow me. The “shock and aw” factor really draws my attention as a viewer. She was too predictable, and predictable is dreary. If she would have listened to what Jennifer kept encouraging her to do, she would have ended up in the top 4. Look at Jennifer. She can’t sing that great, but she is a hell of a dancer and performer! She kills it on stage! That is what people are drawn to. That is why she made it so big in the music industry. All you performers out there know exactly what I’m talking about.

  171. Pia is an excellent singer and nobody can deny that. Although the entertainment value she brought to the stage was weak. I must agree with the FIFTY MILLION Americans who voted and not complain amongst the few hundred in various blogs I keep stumbling upon. Let’s face the facts …seven more will be cut and many folks will complain when Casey is sent home and the country bumpkin is left with the squinting giant.

  172. I think American Idol will lose a lot of viewers over this. It’s plain to see the american public at large don’t have the ability to see talent. They need to compensate for this. Unlimited wild cards I guess. Now all we have is a popularity contest. It’s not about talent at all. I

  173. Yes she should go. Pia is more like a opera singer, not a pop star.

  174. I wish people would stop saying she was voted off. She wasn’t. People just chose to vote for other people. No idea why that Paul McDonald is there. He sounds like a cartoon character but hey Pia was so flawless that she was boring.

  175. Pia is a great singer; however, she had no business trying to sing a Tina Turner song. It was way too big for her. She should have stuck to what got her there. Unfortunately, she took a chance and lost. It is a singing competition and you need to “bring it” every week.

  176. Pia’s problem is her attitude. Although she is hot and I’d pound her out. She got voted off because of her smugness and rightly so… Snooty Bitch.

  177. I don’t care what anyone says… she lacked stage presence… bull. Look at what’s left. Casey, Lusk, Stefano, Lauren…. should be sent packing they suck compared to Pia. That girl has got a voice like no other. So she’s not Tina Turner.. she’s Pia and I think they should return her to Idol and make another save.. The producers just lost part of their audience. She should have been in the top 3 with Durbin and Scotty and frankly she should have won. This was atrocious and I didn’t see a thing about her that showed she had an attitude.

  178. Judges gave the save away to early. It should be reserved for situations like this one. They (the judges) have only themselves to blame, yet they take NO responsibility. American doesn’t have the ability to ‘save’. The judges failed to plan ahead.

  179. Sorry but Pia was BORING! And I hope she reads this! She was not dynamic and this is what America is looking for. But if the judges would have used the save not so early this could have all been avoided! They used the save on Casey! Seriouly?? That guy has mental health issues! Get him off! CASEY YOU ARE A LOSER!

    The judges especailly Jennifer was so flippin rude towards Steffano when Pia got knocked off. I mean Jennifer maybe you should watch your reaction that the WHOLE WORLD SAW! Steffano is a good singer and you made him feel like a big zero!! Wait a go Lopez!

  180. Gianna Nardi says:

    Pia Toscano was one of my favorite contestants on American Idol and she got off! I thought to myself HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????!!!!!

  181. i think its bullshit that american voted off pia…..she is the best singer i ever heard…she could hit high notes better then the rest of the girls in the show…..america fucked up big time…letting go a wonderful singer….i bet the next one to go is the short guy with the black hair that was standing next to pia that night she got voted off……well see what happens

  182. I agree with one of the people who posted a comment. They said Steffano should’ve gotten off. I was watching Fox 5 News early in the morning after the night of American Idol and even STEFFANO was surprised because I saw his eyes open upo real wide in a surprising way. Also America thinks Pia didn’t make it because there is a lot of young girls who want to vote for the guys. Just saying AMERICA WHY???

  183. I agree with Steven. (The other person who posted.)

  184. i think its bull that american voted off pia…..she is the best singer i ever heard…she could hit high notes better then the rest of the girls in the show…..america fudge up big time…letting go a wonderful singer….i bet the next one to go is the short guy with the black hair that was standing next to pia that night she got voted off……well see what happens

  185. It may be a singing competition, but you have to be aware of the current music industry. A voice doesn’t make an artist, and the public, young or old, is easily bored. When I would watch the show (I do not watch religiously every week because that would be obsessive and mean I do not have a life) I would wish I could fast forward through hers, simply because her song choices are not what the general public usually listens to. If you want to get into the business and actually have a long lasting career, get off your lazy butt and go to agencies, instead of wasting your time trying to win American idol, because the overall winner is never the most successful. Most of the time the winner is forgotten and those who placed 2nd 3rd and so on have a greater chance of being noticed. What has Taylor hicks or Kris Allen done since their wins, had one hit make it to the charts and have a few idol fans buy their hastily made cd that is full of songs that were written for them, not by them. Only one of those songs good enough to make a low budget video that comes in at number twenty on the countdown for a few weeks and then disappears. There are a few former idols that have made it big, but that’s because they could be fit into the box that the industry wants them to be in. And yes, that means that most of your favorites from idol, especially those who are clones of current stars, will have difficulty breaking into the industry and have been misleaded by this show that they are super stars already. I think that all those remaining on the show deserve to be there, but could also do better than American idol. Oh, and to those who sit here complaining about pia getting kicked off, get over it. For all you know she is a horrible person who was good at being fake. You never know a persons true personality inless you actually know them. She didn’t fit with the rest of the cast, and wasn’t up to par with her performance. So reality check to you obsessive, crazy human beings, her being kicked off, thats just how the cookie crumbles.

  186. I demand a revote for Pia. I’m done with AI. Just shows you how dumb the american public is.

  187. Why does she deserve a revote above anyone else? No one is destined to win American idol, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that it’s rigged, but her going home is just the result of the public liking other contesants better. It makes no sense that there is such an uproar of her elimination, it’s a competition. Someone had to leave, it just happened to be her. Anyone could have gotten the least amount of votes, why would she be given special treatment, when no one else would

  188. This is the first season I have watched Idol. Not a good track record so far! I am disgusted that Pia was sent home!!!! The judges should have let Casey go home when he was supposed to!! He wasn’t good enough to save! I thought Pia was going to win the whole thing! She deserved to!! People have complained that the judges didn’t critique her enough. What was there to critique, and the one area where she did lack because of shyness they did tell her about it! She is amazing like Celine Dion! Hopefully a smart person will see that and give her a deal!

  189. I think Pia deserved to be kicked out of American idol. She can sign but she lacks performance. Randy had a good point in asking her to do something different. She promised to do a song that’s m

  190. Joyce de Souza says:

    I am simply shocked- Pia should be in the Top 3 – The judges should not have used the wild card- big mistake!!! Stefano should go – he sounds just like any other singer (mediocal), nothing special about him. I was upset when Adam Lambert lost too, America vote with your head not heart!

  191. Quit blaming America not everyone voted wrong, the problem is the voting is run by teeny boppers who vote over and over. Not to mention alot of people said they were having trouble getting through to vote for Pia. ewe don’t know what happened we were not there. However something is not right, and Pia got sent home. They need to re vote. If &merica got it wrong than why is America upset over it. Think about it. If they don’t do something to fix this I’m not watching show the rest of season. I already know James will win cause every one wants to see Steven Tyler perform. By the way parents are you watching your 12 year olds voting or are you letting them vote how they want. They need to be taught responsible voting. In the long run it’s not cute or funny.

  192. Casey deserved the save, but Pia deserves it more. I’m sure if the judges knew it would come to this, they would have saved the save.

  193. Pia had a good voice and all but she was too stiff. She was not the best on american idol. And you cant really blame america. If you wanna blame anyone blame yourself. And dont dis on Paul, hes amazing get over it. I love you Paul!

  194. First goes Niema (yeah) Thea then goes Pia.. Ha-Ha get over it, paul stays.. if anyone should have went home should have been Jakob,lol.. Pia was good but Paul has a unique Rod Stewart kind of voice and I love it… I will continue to vote for him… Go Paul and James rock on suckas..

  195. Read every one of these emails. What great hype!!!! All the maneuverings apparently worked. Everyone….everywhere is upset. Figure it out people. You have been baited, hooked and reeled in. Just like good fish.

  196. Patricia Erb says:

    America messed up on this one – this woman can fly above every note and land exactly on pitch. You can’t teach that – you can teach someone how to shake their a.. which is clearly what America wants – Shame on us!!!

  197. I agree that Pia was a great singer, but she was boring to watch. I record the shows and everytime she came on I would watch her for 10 seconds, get bored then fast forward to the next singer! I loooove her voice but she needs to work on her stage performance. Someone will work with her and we’ll see her again I’m sure!

  198. I am very mad about the elimination of Pia.I’m sure she has got a very good future ahead of her.Steven Tylor said that she will probably do better then the winner of American Idol.I tend to agree and wish Pia the very best.This year has got the best talent of any year in my estimation.I do think Pia belongs ahead of some that are still there!

  199. Eliminating Pia is the biggest mistake I have seen in any of the previous American Idol competitions. This is an outrage and a sad commentary on the voting public who allowed this to happen. Pia should have been the one saved but she will not be forgatten by the fans, I am sure. She has a bright and beautiful future, just as beautiful as she is.

  200. I agree with Jenna when she said to Jennifer,”watch your reaction that the whole world saw. Steffano is a good singer & you made him feel like a big zero.” I and many other Americans voted for Steffano because we felt he was much more talented. He has a great voice quality and lots of natural stage presence. He reminds me so much of Bobby Riedell & Paul Anka. The judges need to remember that not everyone voting is going to like the same type of music or their taste in music; and they shouldn’t make the person that was saved by America’s votes feel bad, with their ranting & raving about America voting wrong.

  201. Paul Centorame says:

    I think this was the worst vote from America ever on American Idol. It was either her or James. That was the top two. America has to stop voting for people that have been in the bottom three forever cuz they feel sorry for them. You vote for who you think is best not for whos shitty and needs a little help. I have heard that Pia got a record deal anyways. She doesnt need American Idol. Shes already set. Pia is gonna be big, no matter what the outcome of thursday was.

  202. It is unfortuanate that Pia was voted off. She has a great voice and is a beautiful talented young lady. However, in my opinion, her performance skills to illustrate her originality and personalty are not completely there and this plays a very important part to her total performance as a singer and as it would any other singer.

    My opinion is only intended to be constructive. As you may know, to be an American Idol you need to have more than a great voice. They want the whole package.

    Let’s move forward and Vote. I read many comments from people that expressed they will not vote anymore. Don’t have this outlook. Keep your faith for the other contestants.

  203. So much going on in the week before they perform that they forget about the CRITICAL factor for votes (what would the public enjoy as a song choice and performance?). Too bad SHE DIDN’T LISTEN to Jennifer and mix it up a bit. I hope she is not in denial about that.

  204. You people that say the wild card was used early are fucking insane. Casey is right up there. Your mot likey going by looks and background. Casey is a true artist. Pia is great also, but I wouldn’t say it was a waste of a wild card. Regardless she will go on and make money and have a career. Bit whoop she didn’t win idol.

  205. DON'T FEEL TOO BAD!!!!!!! says:

    I’m sorry I don’t feel that bad for her.She went from a nobody,to getting a recording contract and everybody knowing her name,sure she has a good voice,but all she sang were ballads.Honestly who’s gonna buy her new album,all the people who felt sorry for her for being kicked off the show?Either way,she’ll be making more money than most!

  206. Paul sounds like a chipmunk on steroids!!!!!!!He should be the next to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  207. I would vote, I truly would vote one time if I thought my vote would count. Unfortunately, American Idols voting system is extremely faulty. I simply cannot compete with a 13 yr old who is able to send 60 text message votes in 1 minute for 2 or 4 hours straight! It seems my vote is miniscule to say the least. Until they change their voting system to only allow one vote per phone number, per email address, NO ONE SHOULD VOTE!

  208. I think that she was a great singer, but she was a boring performer.. Sorry I don’t want anyone to get offended, but she kept singing ballads, and her attitude to me when she met stars or when the judges were speaking to her came across to me like she thought she was the best they ever saw. I also think America realised her game play, to keep saying if I’m here next week I’ll rock the stage when asked to do up-tempo, then she would do another ballad. So last week she did up-tempo and saw what she knew, she cannot perform, she is only comfortable standing still well belting out notes. Lauren on the other hand can belt it, but she can move and you feel her love and passion for music. Sorry Pia will have a record deal, but she needs help to learn how to perform, or she won’t sell out any shows. Again,she has a great voice, but I was sick of her long notes after the second week. She got boring sorry.

  209. I’m mad that Pia got voted off. But she will have a great career. I’ll tell you who should of gone home. Those two country talent hicks losers, Lauren and Scotty and that no good for nothing Hailey! People don’t know talent!

  210. vote for the worst amerian idol winner scotty mcgerrey turn the channel when ryan secreast annoounce the wiiner over laruen alalina what is wrong with amerian couuntyr songs mcgrrery sings dump and boring evryhtine i see him sing on idol i turn the channel same thing last year leee dewyanze beat crystal bowerzsox, chris allen david cook now scott mcgrerry what will it ever end
