Summeoyo, you are probably right about Lusk not appealing to the Rap crowd. But I can see how people who like Rap, will either (like you said) not be interested in the contest at all or, if they are watching, supporting Lusk. By the way, I think he could really make Rap interesting if he did the right song. Oh, wait a minute- Rap isn't really music is it?

I have a question: Who knows who is #1 each week and who is out? Someone counts the votes but do the judges know before the live show? And here is something I am sure the AI producers know but will never share. They will know weeks in advance who will win it all because they will have seen the "trend"- for instance that a single person always gets the most votes. And it might be even an order of magnitude margin but they will never let that information leak out.
