The Fix is In for David Cook- David Archuleta's Voice Coach Fills Us In

If David Archuleta's voice coach can be believed, he wants everyone to know that the fix is in. Voice coach Dean Kaelin said in a Fox Utah interview that the producers really rigged things last week to help David Cook. Dean says that the producers asked David to sing his best song first, while David Cook was told to sing his best song last so that the audience would remember it better. Gaspy also practiced singing "Longer" with an uptempo beat but was then told by producers that he had to sing it slower. Why? Probably because it might have sounded better that way. Lastly, Gaspy was going to sing "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing", which had been cleared for him for a few weeks, but the song was taken away afrom him and given to David Cook. Dean also says that Syesha wanted to use strings (probably the full orchestra that David Cook used) in one of her songs and was told she couldn't. Who got to use the strings? David Cook of course. We believe Dean, because Idol is a shady show that does whatever it can to get the reults it wants. But what can Gaspy do (see picture for his options)? If the fix is in, the producers will stop at nothing to crown Cook. All we can do is expose the madness and try to help our gasping friend.

The vocal coaches comments don't make sense. The best Archuleta song was a judges choice and I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing was a producer's choice (and it was not the best David Cook song of the evening). If they changed it so the judges choice was last, Cook still would have had the last song. Imagine him ending with The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face -- it would have been even better. The vocal coach is just trying to stir up some sympathy...I wonder how he would do explaining With You.

I'm sorry, as much as I love this website, I CANNOT make myself vote for Darthchuletta. I get a gag reflex going everytime I think of it.

I hope the plan never was to vote for Archulizard, just piss of TPTB and the fantards.
At that, judging by the daily mailbags, I think we've succeeeded beyond our wildest expectations. This is the VFTW victory; who wins tomorrow night is as meaningless for us as it is for everybody else who've given up on AI7.

By the way, is there any truth to the rumor Archie will do "The Safety Dance" tonight?

Well they're no fantards of mine"

Agreed with Moxie on the sympathy votes. I had the same thought as I was supposed to be drifting off to sleep last night. (Sad, really, that I was supposed to be sleeping and instead I was thinking about this bullshit.)
I'm guessing Jeff told his flunky, Dean, to blather about how unfair Idol was so that all the tweentards (and their middle-agetard parents) would vote for poor little gasp-boy, to keep his dreams from being crushed.

The AI cash cow needs to release Archie's album as quickly as he can squeak out the songs before the tweenies forget about him. Because if they do, they will make a mint. I remember reading a few years ago (when I worked in retail) that tweens had the greatest percentage of buying power. That really stuck with me because, let's face it, they have no goddam money of their own. It's not as if they have jobs, and they can't ALL have grandparents who give them $100 bills for their birthdays. That leaves the parents who will buy them anything to "prove" their love. Almost as pathetic as a parent who whores out his tween son to make money for the family. Oh, hello, Jeff!

I believe everything in this story from the Prince Gaspyan camp. Why? Because, as we speak on the day of the finale Simon is PIMPING DC to high-heaven. He went on both Leno and Ellen and insulted Gaspy in his non-chalant way and encouraged the audience that Big-Head should win.

The most ridiculous answer I heard from him was on Leno, "Dave Cook should win because he worked in a Bar, he's had it harder."

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.

This show is fucking fixed. Give the baby his bottle. The kid obviously wants it more. VOTE PRINCE GASPYAN TONIGHT!

Simon called the winner (David Cook) on Ellen this morning. He said it would come down to song choice (what?--course he didn't bother to mention how much the show controls that). Here's a portion of the interview, though unfortunately it doesn't contain his prediction or their discussion of Stage-dad-zilla:

That doesn't make any sense. The contestants weren't given the choice of what order their songs came in... they went "judge's choice, contestant's choice, producer's choice"... and frankly, they gave Gaspy easy songs to sing while Cook was given challenges. If Cook sounded better, it's because he WAS better, not because there was some crazy rigging going on that made him sing the song that was supposed to be sung last-- LAST.
