Now that Jermaine has been disqualified, the big question becomes who will be eliminated tomorrow to reduce the group to the Top 10 who get to go on tour. If you look at the
WhatNotToSing.com ratings and the decision of the fans on
Idol Chatter, you would think Heejun would be the one to leave, but I am not so sure.
Even though the majority of online fans think he performed worst and is the one most likely to go home, he does still have a ton of Twitter followers, and he had never been among the bottom vote receivers before. So his fan base may be able to save him. Let's look at the
raw numbers on DialIdol, here sorted by busy signals:
Even though Heejun has one of the lowest number of busy signals (14 out of his 3.1K votes), the bottom line is he still has enough power voters to cast 3.1K votes for him tonight via DialIdol, far more than Elise, Shannon, Skylar or Joshua. Hopefully Joshua has plenty of phone dialing, texting and Facebook voters to vote for him, since he did perform pretty well tonight but does not have many DialIdol voters! I could see Shannon or Elise possibly being in trouble instead of Heejun. We know from last week Elise did not have that many votes and who is to say she picked up all that many more this week. Remember the votes are just as much about popularity and fans as it is about performance!
