Did Erika Van Pelt deserve to go home on American Idol?

i think it was bullshit that erica was sent home... hejun was not even in the same league as erica.. i agree. a i is becoming a popularity contest..i thought it was a talent contest.....

american idol serves as a platform for anybody who have singing ability and those who tried their very best to show their talent (the contestants).they are not there for public office that the whole nation are the one who is going to choose through voting. it should be the responsibility of both ( the judges and the voting public )to choose the winner so people would truly agree and see a new real talent...its obvious that from this batch, only Jessica Sanchez shines the most, with that voice alone,its clear she's a real talent that anybody would love and long to hear and watch her singing.

I thought this was suppose to be a singing contest to showcase real talent!!!! What a hoax!!!! It has become such a popularity contest! If you have a good story, are from a minority group and have a personality; you go far even if you can't sing. Such a shame! And I agree, these judges are soft.....and do not give out enough contructive critisim.

i like Deandre and Hejun..others must too! It was the makeover that killed her!

I cannot see how the people voted out Erika. This show is not allowing the people to be more opinionated because of the comments that Jimmy gives all the time. They need to change it around alittle so it could get more interesting. I will try to find something else to watch at the same time that it airs.
