Jena would have been a refreshing change in the type of Idol winners we usually get. So my instincts were correct, and I wish they weren’t. I think the disconnect between the tastes of the Idol faithful and the general public points to the casual viewer having more influence than they are given credit for. With several different ways to vote–a couple of phones, a bunch of Facebook accounts–hello power voting! Most importantly–although there’s no way to know for sure–I always suspected that the impact of power voting was overstated. Both DWTS and The Voice have a 10 vote limit vs Idol’s 50. First, the votes weren’t as limited as they could be. I have maintained all season (and even got into a friendly argument with a fellow pundit over it) that limiting votes wouldn’t change the results. Anyway, the folks voting for Caleb may not know their way around a computer as well as the rest of us. Maybe that she sold more Itunes singles than Caleb? That’s not saying much, as none of the finalists really sold that well. I love you guys, but I never understood where the belief that Jena Irene would win Idol came from. ![]() It’s been a bumpy ride, but we are finally here! Who won American Idol 13? Caleb Johnson or Jena Irene? We’ll have the answer to that question at the end of tonight’s 2+ hour show!
