Last Night, I HAD to Vote!!

OK, so Sebastian bombed last night on Canadian Idol. Or so the judges said. I thought he was awesome, as usual, but I guess I'm a little biased. But I mean, c'mon...Just look at this face:

How could I sit back and let them just drag him through the mud? I had to do something. I just had to do something!
So I voted. I voted, and I voted, and I voted some more. I think by the time I hung up the phone, we were in the area of somewhere between 40 and 50 votes.
I don't care that Sebastian didn't play his guitar particularly well. I also didn't care that he didn't sing "Let's Spend the Night Together" particularly well. Wanna know why? Because it was Bowie night on Idol, and he didn't come out dressed like a drag queen like some of the others. He came out in a pair of faded jeans and a green button shirt. And he looked hotter than anyone else. He wasn't wearing skinny pants (a fad that I hate, and makes anyone's feet look clown-ish), he wasn't wearing make-up, he wasn't wearing a ridiculous '80's get-up.
He was just Sebastian. And man, was he smokin'.

I hope that Sebastian gets another week to perform. I hope all of his fans out there voted their asses off like I did to keep him around for at least another week to redeem himself in the eyes of Jake, Sass, Farley & Zack. Because while I thought he was still pretty fabulous even on his worst night, I know he's better than that, and he's not the kind of guy who will make the same mistake twice.
Dear God, I hope I'm celebrating on here tomorrow. I hope Sebastian advances on to the next round. Otherwise, I really might stop watching Idol for good!

Did you have to pay for vote - and it's not just one vote per call I guess? Well hopefully your voting helped him stay in. Maybe I'll have to tune in tonight just to see if he stays or goes!
Good Luck Jill! Haha!

haha - no, votes are free. Luke tried to pull that on me last night as I was sitting there hitting redial a thousand times: "You know, it's 50 cents a call, retard"...But it's only the texting that costs money, phone votes are free. Which is really the biggest problem with idol, and my adventures in voting last night are a prime example of how the whole thing really isn't a singing contest - it's a popularity contest. The competitor with the most die-hard fan base usually wins, and talent is secondary. I think it should be up to the judges as to who goes home - what's the point in having them really?
Anyways...despite all that, Sebastian's so hot, I really hope he makes it! haha!!
