I'm pretty sure AI scraps votes from auto dialing programs. They have some sort of thing where they know how fast humans can possibly re-dial and any votes coming in from the same # or area too fast are thrown out if they're suspected to be coming from an auto dialer. Something like that. Last Edited By: suckshardcore 05/19/09 11:24 PM. Edited 1 times.

I wonder why Glambert is taking all the states like he is if he is behind? Plus, no texting in there. It really is outdated now. Dial Idol has sucked post season 5, but it's always right on with the winners. I love how people only want to refer to DI when it benefits their favorite If you look at raw numbers and busy percentages. All of Kris' lines are beating Adam's for both categories.

Just hit refresh a few times, it'll load... it has for me all night long after it says the server is busy. Unless you mean you can't access due to a filter or something?

I was always under the impression that it measured auto dialing, no? If so are the auto dialors considered a sample and that's how they make their predictions? Basically, the people who use DI auto vote.. the program counts up the busy signals, and converts them to busy percentages.. So, it doesn't really require a huge number of users to give an accurate sample.. but a lot of people use it, so it works out even better. Then DI uses their own little formula (busy percentages make up a huge chunk of it) and calculate a score. And Kris is not leading by 1.11%... the DI score is an arbitrary number. It's not a percentage. And DI has been right all season Hunterdonn - like I said, you don't understand a thing about how it works, or statistics in general.

The raw numbers mean nothing. It's a biased sample. The only thing that matters are the busy percentages. e.g. Allison was always top every week in raw numbers, but was in the bottom 3 way too often. UPDATE: Kris' score lies somewhere in between 59.85 and 63.81 Adam's score lies somewhere in between 58.73 and 62.74 Last Edited By: underYa 05/19/09 11:28 PM. Edited 2 times.

I think it's possible Kris has been leading in the votes for a week or more. Simon spoke to something called Radar Online.com and said If Simon Cowell gets his way, there's going to be a big upset in the American Idol finale. Cowell told RadarOnline.com Tuesday night that front runner Adam Lambert may just fall short of the top prize. Right before taping of the show, Cowell said that despite America's expectations of an Lambert victory, he believes underdog Kris Allen will win the competition. http://www.radaronline.co...simon-says-kris-will-win He's been backpedalling from his earlier comments to Kris for at least a week and a half. Remember when he said that Kris was not good enough to be in the final? That was just earlier this month, and now he's saying this. Simon will cut and run from a mistake in a heartbeat. Kris peaked at the right time. Oh, well. At least Adam doesn't have to sing that awful coronation song again.

The Dial Idol Official prediction isn't accurate, not all the time. The Geo seems to be. It was for this chick as well.

I wanted Adam to win, but can't find any fault with Kris, good for him. What makes me really happy is that the next time we hear from Gokey will be in the "Where Are They Now" section of People in about 5 years. Working at Home Depot or Sam's Club.

I know the Geo map was accurate last week when the prediction wasn't and the predictions for Dancing make me feel WAY better about things. Thanks for pointing that out.
