Bots, or Internet robots, are applications designed for simple, repetitive jobs.. like voting on totally worthless polls such as the one we've been working our little fingers to the bone voting on. : |

I really think we are underestimating Avril to assume that she would never win this poll unless it were really 'ALL' about Adam...and his haters. Avril has been an internationally popular young person's star for 10 years...she is huge in Japan and the rest of Asia particularly...has 3 X the twitter fans Adam has....has sold millions of albums.....yadayadayada. I do not like her music but it is hubris to make every poll about Adam or Adam haters...and may be a bit of why we tend to anger some other star's fans. On another note, in my opinion, Kris Allen simply does not have enough 'still angry after 3 years' fans to create this kind of havoc on a poll. I agree there are some bots in action from the looks of things but I would hesitate to claim they come from some disgruntled AI8 fans....or even 'homophobes'. just sayin.....  |

I find this whole Q102 voting poll rather bizarre. A radio station in Philadelphia, I believe it is, posts a poll to ask which artist of all the artists they have had at previous jingle balls was the best. It would be only logical if the people voting in the poll were those who had actually seen the artists in question perform AT that jingle ball. But, no. Or at least, the voters would be from the Philly area letting the station know who they would LIKE to see at a future concert. But, no. Or, at the very least, the voters would be the regular listeners of Q102, so that the station would get a good idea of who they should tout and play more..... and these voters would then patronize the sponsors of this radio station. But, no. This poll is getting votes from hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who NEVER listen to the radio station, who don't live in the state, the surrounding states, or even the United States. People who have never seen the contestants live. Who don't even know the contestants' work. Who are voting because..... hell, could it be so totally crazy as because Adam's career has been more successful than KA's?   |

Maybe it is, but on the Sophie poll .. the artists that againts Adam were actually tweeted thanks to Kris fans to vote for them... they've very quickly deleted the tweets :-/ IDK ... but it's not only Kris fans that don't like Adam now... after 3 years, also other Idol fans who didn't even compete with Adam in AI |
