It is way too bad that this Michigan Idol had to be determined by "hotness", not talent. Next time try and get a female judge in there so the competiton can be fair. It's pretty sad when a minor that sings karaoke and flirts with the judges before the competiton beats a girl who writes her own songs and mezmerizes the audience. Jessi had way more talent than anybody there and it's too bad that the judging was rigged. Proof is when the one judge said to Tommy that he could tell that he wanted to change his score tonight after Jessi was done, which meant he wrote it down even before Jessi finished her song. I even think Hillfigga should've been number two.

I only made it to the last idol finals, however I would have to agree that a female judge would have been nice to hear what she thought as well. Maybe, once a contestant "wins" they should not be allowed to enter the contest again?

I honestly think that the best performer won. She has worked harder than anyone else and has put more time and effort into this competition than anyone else. So no one really has room to talk.
