TV - VIDEO BEAT Part 3 - AMERICAN IDOL'S JAILER SIMON FULLER - April, 2011
WHAT'S THE DEAL? - In the past we've asked who is the mysterious the Telescope company that supposedly tabulates the final votes for the winner of the Idol contest. We have yet to find any information about the company on the Internet. Yes Idol is an entertaining program but there are too many unanswered questions. As popular as the show is it comes off as a shell game on the street corners of New York and the public is being hustled. The elimination this past week of Pia Toscano who was in the bottom three for the first time after turning in the most professional and consistent performances throughout the season raises more questions about the flaws in the voting system. - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT Part - PIA TOSCANO ELIMINATED AFTER TAKING THE AMERICAN IDOL JUDGES ADVICE - April, 2011
THE JUDGES MADE THE WRONG SAVE - It is one of the three most shocking decisions in American Idol history that rank with Jennifer Hudson being eliminated at # 7 in season 3 and Adam Lambert not winning the title in season 8. This predicament came to fruition after our previous prophecy regarding wasting a save on Casey Abrams. We noted then that it was a bad save and what will happen when a singer with a better voice that deserves to be saved can't because the judges foolishly used the save up on a talented individual but doesn't have a good voice - Recommended TV Listings
