Sorry for any inconvenience.

I love you honey bunches! ;)

... and thanks again to all of you for another great year!

DialIdol will be covering So You Think You Can Dance - though perhaps not until July 14.

DialIdol will also be covering the X-Factor is the format is applicable too!

Hope to see you all then and next year too!

This of course does conclude another season and I thank you all for keeping DialIdol bookmarked, for not forgetting about this site in the off-season and for coming back every week! Your visits make this all worthwhile!

DialIdol will be covering X-Factor if it uses an applicable format so be sure to come back in the fall!

P.S. Happy birthday Nancy! :)

According to the predictions page Jacob and Scotty should not even be in the bottom three though I am not as confident in Jacob's prediction because of the low call volume.

Should be an interesting night!

Speaking of Stefano - if you're a fan - keep voting - because his prediction isn't encouraging for him and is hard to argue from a DialIdol numbers perspective. He's came in dead last 7 out of the 13 intervals as of this writing (10:25pm Eastern). Look for a definitive prediction for him to go home if things keep up.

First and foremost - the first 30mn of East coast voting is the most critical and the server DialIdol runs on decided to have a moment (actually a few moments) and as a result 10-15 minutes worth of critical predictions data was lost while the server rebooted itself.

Naima Adedapo's score may be higher than it should be due to very few DialIdol'ers dialing for her and a few too many busy signals detected for her. There needs to be enough people dialing for all the contestants to get a good prediction - without it there is a wider margin of error.

Well let's get right to it - its been a while since DialIdol was definitely wrong but alas all good things must come to an end and yes - DialIdol predicted Julie and Tatynisa would absolutely stay and they absolutely went home so both of those predictions were wrong. For those wondering - why? ... well I eluded to it in the post from yesterday (see below) - there weren't enough people dialing for them - especially right after the show ended on the East coast. Lack of dialers means more room for error and errors there were!

On the other hand Lauren Alaina and Scotty were both absolutely predicted to stay and they did - so those predictions were accurate.

Now technically all the other predictions were accurate but they were pretty vague so I had to think about how DialIdol would grade itself given this unusual results week. You see usually DialIdol is graded exclusively on the people who are sent home and usually there is more precision in those results. In this case the results of those who are staying have more precision but grading exclusively on them would be an unfair representation of DialIdol because it would ignore DialIdol having been wrong about Julie and Tatynisa.

I don't want to set a precedent that DialIdol only gets graded on the definitive predictions it makes because most of the time DialIdol doesn't operate like that so this week DialIdol will grade itself on every prediction which means DialIdol is 91% accurate this season.

Julie Zorilla's score may be over-stated too but there isn't as much evidence here.

Both girls simply don't have nearly the amount of calls placed for them with DialIdol. Ashton has the third fewest calls at this moment and yet she has twice as many as Julie and three times as many as Tatynisa - more than both combined.

American Idol will introduce on-line voting this year. They will still be allowing phone voting and assuming they keep that the same as in years past - DialIdol should be able to continue to make predictions. Now on-line voting and a declining audience combined with the ever growing popularity of text messaging may limit busy signals which may limit DialIdol's ability to be provide definitive predictions.

There may be some news coming this season for DialIdol/Android fans so stay tuned.
