Siobhan Magnus American Idol reinstatement petition grows
May 1, 2010 by Beatweek
Fans of recently dismissed American Idol contestant Siobhan Magnus sure seem to have a lot of fight in them. And many of them are convinced that she was wronged when she was sent home from the show this week, not just by voters but by what they feel was a glitch in the voting. Apparently a third party Facebook fan page dedicated to Siobhan was instead displaying the mislabeled voting phone number for fellow contestant Aaron Kelly, which in the eyes of Siobhan fans explains why Aaron wasn’t in the bottom three this week and Siobhan was. The more fervent of the group have taken to the internet, in the form of an online petition which has at this point gained more than four thousand digital signatures.
We’ll go ahead and say it: online petitions never work, unless you’re trying to get Betty White onto SNL. But while the petition itself will accomplish nothing in terms of getting Siobhan Magnus back onto American Idol, and it’s far from the first time in which Idol’s viewers have decided that their favorite contestant getting sent home must have somehow been due to a voting irregularities, but it does serve to demonstrate just how passionate Siobhan’s fans are. We’ll now see if their claims of “never watching American Idol again” end up holding true as the show heads into its final few episodes of the season.

LikeI have been bouncing around the internet reading peoples reactions to Siobhan being eliminated.Most of the posters like Siobhan very much but there is one female poster who is spending a lot of time bashing Siobhan on multiple sites. She not only bashes Siobhan but she also viciously attacks people who say good things about Siobhan. I found that this same poster also spent a lot of time bashing Sarah Palin during the 2008 election. Why would this poster spend so much time bashing these two ladies? Why would she be so obsessed with putting them down? Could it be just because she feels they have no talent? Possibly, but I doubt it. No, I think it goes far deeper than that. I am thinking she might have a problem with attractive women. Maybe some deep-seated scar that goes back to her childhood. When you see her ugly posts about Siobhan, it might be a good idea to just ignore her.

LikeThe voting last week was a disgrace. American idol is up to there tricks again just like last week. America wake up . Boycott America Idol until the last. Give Siobhan support and show her how we feel. There is no way she was on the bottom last week. Sign the petition.

LikeI will miss Siobhan very much, because she is an exciting singer and performer. In my opinion Siobhan should be reinstated by the producers of AI. They did it with Tim Urban after he was sent-off by the judges. The reason for that was never explained. If Tim Urban an average talent was given another chance, than Siobhan who is highly talented should be given another chance too.

LikeAre you nuts,they did not bring him back after he got voted off.At first he didn't make the cut of 15 or 2 whatever it was and then they decided to make room for one more.That is a huge stretch of the actual truth.

LikeThis is really really stupid.The petition has NO basis at all.Here's a thought:Why didn't you guys just look at the TV screen after her performance??? Why in the would would you NOT watch her performance and then go on facebook to get her numbers?? Thank you for the numbers to call because I will be calling to vote against this as will thousands of others now that we have the contact info.This is NOT the fault of AI,get a life.

LikeSorry, but these past vote challenges go nowhere with Idol, and I'm a 50-50 believer that there were some voting problems, more a believer that Big MIke has been bottom vote getter for several weeks and is being carried as a minority. And a 100% believer that Siobhan and a few other female contestants were given the bum's rush by producers to bolster their pet contestant's chances. (the ones they think will crank out albums instantly).The thing is that AI's execs are pretty insane to make it all about the piddly revenue that they will get a cut of from AI's top 3 music sales. That is NOTHING in terms of revenue to the AI organization that comes from advertisers fees scaled to Ratings of the show itself. 98% of revenue and I expect the ratings to drop more with Siobhan not being there. And just as insane for AI to let the voting process be rabid fan little speed dialers who buy no more Ford, Coke, and music than the rest of the viewers dictate who stays on the show to the other 99% of viewers. And no, I just don't care enough or have to work the next day - to punch out several hundred text votes to "Save Didi, or save Siobhan, save Casey!"
