American Idol Won't Change Voting System

After a few "shocking" eliminations this season on American Idol there was discussion that maybe it was time for a change in the way contestants are eliminated.

Thankfully the producers have come out in defense of the existing system. Kinda. Producers say they won't be changing anything this season, but we might see a reduction of votes for text and phone voting methods.

While I think that's a great idea I don't think they'll do it. American Idol producers love when they can come out and say "we got 55 million votes last night!" If they limit those votes then it'll hurt those big numbers which translates to ego boosts for them.

Maybe American Idol will figure out an improvement next season.
