Okay I just watched "Dream Big" on YT and if that wasn't a "winning moment" (Simon... ) I don't wanna know what is. It was lightyears beyond the sappy, yucky, disgusting messes like "This is my now"

I still can't get gizmo to work. This. Is. Torture.

I usually use the phone lines. For sending texts messages.....I just text the number, right? I wanna go all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should not be online here if you are voting. Lord, I hate to be so mean.

Jeannine

any links for tonight's performances??? i wanna watch them!

mhm
on the 05 line
its just dead air
no busy signal
NOTHING
WHAT THE HELL??!?!?!??!

I am not losing hope.......just wondering why all the dead air while I am voting? Me and my daughter are taking turns chain-dialing.

Anyone for the info for the text votes?

Shitfire, we finally got a vote in! Holy shit, these guys are scaring the living hell out of me...LINE 03 IS OPEN! HIT IT, EVERYONE!

I participated in the picking of songs, and that was the song that I thought had "David Cook" written all over it!!!! I was so happy when he chose it!

Yes. He really made it big. And one thing's for sure, he will be the hottest recording artist after AI. He's hot coz he's gorgeous, and he's the 'best singer in this season' (borrowed it from randy).

I have two lines dear!! it's ok

i only got through once with gizmo

Use a different line, then. How do you spell manipulated? I'm about to explode....and I'm an easy going person.

Jeannine

only gizmo5 is working for me and i have to wait for my confirmation email. this sucks.

We've been getting the same thing! It's been scaring the living pootle out of me. The lines were down or screwed up from all the incoming votes, I think.

Whew! Shows a little prayer to the Man upstairs will do wonders...(yes, I prayed to God that the lines would straighten out and open for us - I'm such a wonderful, selfless Christian *smacks forehead*).

STAY POSITIVE EVERYONE!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! DC CAN WIN IT ALL!!!!!

Im switching lines if I don't get thru
and the 05 line is just dead air

Just think about keeping postive and do what you have to do.

omg dialidol.com is soo busy!

Can someone check Dial Idol to see where we are at? DC will be big no matter what!

Once again.......do i just text the number? Do i have to send in "vote 01"? I usually call in

David did awesome tonight I have already voted for him 119 times and 1/3 of them have been busy. 4 hrs of voting and texting. Hope he wins it!! Vote till you cant move your hands any more!!!! DON'T LET ARCHULETA WIN THIS!!!!

Those getting dead air on line 05, try line 3. We're getting through scaringly easy on that line - we need some D-C.org support over there!

West coaster here waiting on the show and I just have an observation from what I read about the judges - Simon is not dumb - he could be playing devils advocate - he knows he is pissing all of DC's fans off - he knows they will vote harder and longer - maybe in the back of his mind he didn't want people to slack off and feel comfortable that DC had it in the bag ~~ just a thought to ponder.

If I see another post from an east coaster, I may have to come through the computer and wring your neck. I want to see central and pacific posts only. JUST VOTE!

Jeannine

hes on top!

Gizmo is being an ass today (just like Simon!) but I'm still trying every second, and I've managed 13 votes so far

well i would if i knew i was doing it exactly right!!! Can anyone help me!!!

Guys,
Wether he wins or not, something is cristal clear ... DC is an artist, Archie is a singer. A good one, ... but he will never give us goose bumps, will he ?
DC is the most amazing artist I've seen in years, and if the AI audience and the AI judges don't see it ... so be it !
He will prove them all, that he doesn't need AI to be a star !

Just sommething by the way : How can Simon say he should sing "Hello" ou "Billie Jean" and congratulate him EACH week for taking risks ??? I don't get it.

DC was emotionnal tonight, and so we were ... but it is just the beginning ... and I believe in him so much, that I don't even care anymore about tomorrow's results. (BUT God, pleeeeaaase, make him win !)
I will miss him each week ...

(Sorry for the mistakes in english, I am french.)

Peggy (still voting with the left hand)

it is still early but our DC is winning! it is soo close!

Text the word "VOTE" to number 5701.

I'm still getting through on 3 WAY too often!

Relax! Busy signals are a good sign. DC advantage will be close to midnight and after that. Keep voting! We can do this together...

im voting and voting
and i can still post on here

I THINK you text "vote" to 5701... if anyone could confirm it'd be great

KEEP VOTING!!!!

Obviously in the end TPTB still wants DA to win!! But we won't let that happen! I am also using Gizmo 5!

I'm crying my eyes out right now after watching the world I know on YouTube, seriously, I love Dave

Anyway I just got one call with gizmo, what is happenning?

editing: now, I got through twice

just read all of the judges comments on our Cook-ie! so disappointed with them! and now i'm mad like hell, i'll VOTE!VOTE!VOTE! even if i won't be able to face my work for the next 4 hours!!! i know i'll be crying later when i watch the show (it will be shown here in the Philippines 8 hours from now)

quick question... i'm using gizmo (1st time!) and it's just ringing and then it will hang up...does that mean my vote got in already??? or is there a voice prompt or something?!?!

texting like crazy here and calling, gotten in about 20 votes calling and over 120 texting

I am just so mad the judges were so rude and hurtful to David. Why did they think that was a good idea? David is such a sweet guy who is nice to everyone and supportive of everyone, so why grind his face into the poo? They haven't done that in the past to finalists who were genuinely awful. but to do it to David in front of the world?? I just don't get it.

Plus it just assumes that we voters don't mean jack all in this process.

So. Back to proving them wrong. I really want to push little David off the stage but only bc David of ours belongs in the limelight forever.

Vote like crazyyyyyyyyy

I just put my 1st vote on line 5 Gizmo, yes!

DC was awesome tonight!!! and you know what? I'm glad Archie had his night today because tomorrow will BE DAVID COOK WINNING NIGHT!!!! YES!!!

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!

I write AND vote (I have 2 hands !)

GET OFF THE DAMN MESSAGE BOARD IF YOU ARE VOTING! (I'm here with Dyann...she is working her ass off, and you people should be too!) Jess (a friend of Dyann's)

that's exact;y what i was saying earlier
he thinks that if he gets us mad we'll vote twice as hard..which is true

You should hear "thank you for voting contestant number x" just try and try again.

i think u have to hear a "thank u for voting message" but if it sounds like someone answered and u dont hear it, wait 10 seconds and it will be count. thats what i do

Making sure i did everything right. 1-866-idols-05 VOTE 5701 CORRECT?????

HOW DO YOU KNOOW???

HIT LINE 03!

We're getting busy signals now, but the more, the better! Let's get the ball rolling!

Hi everyone

I've only read whats been said on the forums about the final as I live in England and am not at all happy with what Simon had to say tonight. Talk about throw him under the bus

Before I go to bed as its nearly 3 a.m. here in the UK I had to tell you that after trying for a while to get through to Dialidol at the moment David is just ahead of Archie so keep voting!!!!!!

Ughh i'm getting so frustrated!! I've only got 4 votes through! I mean i guess thats good, it means people are voting but gosh! I'm still about to snap; I'm already frustrated as it is after hearing all the judges crappy comments to Cook!

Plus to top everything off, I'm graduating this week so i'm already uber emotional, i've been crying all week and then seeing David's final song...
The second he started crying, I lost it. Just thinking back i'm starting to cry again!
Gahhhh!!
(sorry guys!)
