Elton John - What a maroon
Elton John's first assumption is racism.
"According to Reuters News Service, John called the voting process "incredibly racist" at a press conference in New York Tuesday, because of the low vote tallies that appeared to constantly target performers Jennifer Hudson, La Toya London and Fantasia Barrino. "
The Edge, in the Boston Herald, got it right, on April 27: "Some people even cried racism - as some people always do." (They conclude that the people who do the most feverish dialing are young girls and soccer moms, who go for John Stevens and Clay Aiken. And there was vote-splitting in that the four most talented members of the contestants are African-American. Which I say is why they ought to use single transferable or proportional/preference voting!)
