		<description>Wow ...this was a waste of time to read.  I really couldn&#039;t follow the link to see who wrote it...I got turned off in the first few paragraphs when the author referred to Adam as Androgynous.  He is anything but....It seems pretty clear to me that he is all MAN.  Never once did I doubt his gender.  I would refer to (dear author) to the character Pat from Saturday Night Live, now that is androgyny.  

I think the author was trying to make an issue out of nothing...And REALLY American Idol is &quot;deeply conservative?&quot;  You realize that this show is made in LA right...not too far from Hollywood (West Hollywood too) 
Strange article.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-16614&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;suebrody&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: G. Let’s get to the singing! Woot woot!ADAM FTW

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, yes.... let the singing begin!  I&#039;m tired of all the nyah nyah of &quot;is he?&quot; or &quot;isn&#039;t he?&quot; or who is the best or who should or shouldn&#039;t win.  We all have our favorites and we&#039;ll get an album from each of these guys!  I&#039;m pumped! I also always love the Idol finale with all its overblown productions and interesting pairings..... Toni Braxton and Taylor Hicks anyone?  Good year, quite annoying year, but good year.

Also.... let Glee begin.... I do loves me some show choir action!  It looks incredible.  

Kris for the win (and if Adam wins... hoorah too) :)</description>

Get in line. I&#039;ve been standing here for weeks.

That Brigadoon recording should be sent to Barbara Walters. Apparently she said he can&#039;t really sing well. Hahahah</description>

		<description>Tonights voting:

The show tonight, Tuesday, is ONE HOUR, starting at 8 pm on east coast, 7 pm in both the central and mountain zones, and 8 pm west coast.

Assuming that we are given 4 hours to vote when the show ends:

TIME ZONE    START VOTE   END VOTE
eastern        9:00 pm      1:00 am
central        8:00 pm      midnight
mountain       8:00 pm      midnight
western        9:00 pm      1:00 am

If the above is true, then this will affect busy signals and the results on DialIdol, because, among other things:

When it is 9:00 pm western, it will only be midnight eastern and the phones there will still be open another hour. Other time zones also overlap.

More importantly, this is a school night. Most parents are not going to let their tweens stay up until 1am to vote. Also, lots of working adults are also not going to stay up that late. So, the two should offset each other.

Lastly, the weather channel says there should be no major storms tonight, so little chance that the power will go out in, say, Arkansas.</description>
