Who actually votes for American Idol?

Do any of you actually call in and vote for contestants? If so have you voted in seasons before and for who? I've thought about voting but I don't see that it would count for much.

I voted last season and it was for Taylor Hicks. I'm so glad my vote was counted. He deserved it. Too bad you don't hear much of him.

I do vote for my favorites. I voted for Chris Daughtry many times and was upset when he got voted off. Luckily it looks like things are going well for him. He is definately going to be a successful musician.

I did last season. And only the last night. It apparently didn't help since Taylor Hicks won. We'll see this year if I will. Depends on the people.

I have for the last two years. I didn't vote for any last night, though, because I wasn't watching close enough. I also am not going to vote tonight because I will be working through part of the show and can't see all the singers. I like to vote when I see everyone sing pretty much in full just to be fair to all of them. I think it counts, pretty much. In the last two seasons, both of the people I voted for have won.

No, I've never done it. I don't feel like getting charged for a text message or using my minutes for the call. You can vote on Nashville Star also online, but before you do they want your name, email address, etc. which I see no reason to provide. Otherwise I would like to see my vote count. I wonder if their family members all call multiple times or as much as they can in the time their phone lines are open! lol

I voted for Kelly Clarckson she is the only one I did though. I think it is a great show but they are very rude and I don't like the age caps and they way they treat the contestants its just bad nmanners.

Idid the first season for some reason. I dont think it makes a difference. They just figure out who they want to win and the public has no choice.
