Americal Idol Winner & Voting System

I’m watching American Idol right now and I already know who I want to win. Carrie Underwood. She made everyone else look and sound bad. It’s painful to watch the others now.

Speaking of American Idol, I have a big problem with their voting system. You vote for the best person, but the one with the least amount of votes goes home. That means that someone that everyone really likes can go home. For example, if someone is the second favorite for a lot of people, they may not get any votes! The voting power would be split between the other contestants. To correct it, I think you should vote for who you like the least, or give each contestant an ordered rating.

This problem was demonstrated in an episode where the best singers got the least amount of votes. The singers that were very solid slipped between the cracks, and the voting power was spread between the other singers.
