Title: The Infamous Fox Poll
Description: Another Mistreatment of E
SoulMusicRocks - June 5, 2006 07:01 PM (GMT)
We all voted on that Fox Poll yesterday and had amounted to THOUSANDS of votes with you being able to vote once. E was in 1st place with almost 97% of the vote. Guess what Fox does? They clear Elliott's votes and put it back to zero. We immediately get the word out of what was done and now, the poll has been eliminated altogether. I'm sorry, but Fox completely disrespects all that Elliott and his fans stand for by doing that. It is not right and I for one am furious! IDK. What do you all think?

I wrote a letter to the "manager", to the Email given on the site. I have a screen shot of the REAL results, too. Here is the email address and my letter. Please send emails, too.

Why is it that the poll (Which of the the top 4 idols will sell the most CD's) was rigged!? Elliott was winning with a whopping 98%, and over 6,000 votes. This morning, Elliotts votes were CLEARED while the others were NOT, then the poll was left up long enough for Elliott to get up to 2nd place, with 50 votes, before the poll disappeared! He was WINNING BY A LANDSLIDE with FAIR VOTING! Man, FOX never quits with their unjust ways of making it seem like their ideals are shared by others. I have a screen shot of the REAL results, so it just makes you guys look like frauds....
Concerned about Fox's credibility (or lack there of),

They were obviously embarassed by Elliott's overwhelming margin of victory, and the fact that Taylor's percentage stood at 0%. They deleted the poll to save face, so people won't see AI for the farce it really is.

:poke: Following your lead I emailed to the same address with the following message.
Sirs
A recent poll asking ‘Which of the top 4 idols will sell the most CD's’ has disappeared from your Website.
Initially the votes amassed for Elliott Yamin placed him in first with 98%.
This morning, Elliott’s votes were CLEARED while the others were NOT until Elliott climbed back up to 2nd place with 50 votes, before the poll disappeared completely.
I do hope that is in preparation for a grand announcement of the landslide result.
Otherwise this looks like it supports the views of Elliot’s fans that you guys at Fox are manipulating everything by changing the rules when it doesn’t support your predetermined plans.
Your credibility is currently under severe scrutiny – so make no mistake how much the resultant fuss will impact if you do not take steps to rectify the situation.
I am based in the UK and followed the show for the performances of one man – the man you appear to have played down from the start. Elliott Yamin is quite likely to be huge – and it would be better to make a friend of a growing phenomenon – rather than to alienate it.

I think you are right, spunkable. But hopefully people will realize what happened, and it will look even worse than if they had left the truth alone!

Thank you for your replies and thoughts. I sent an E-mail as well that was written in the kindest way possible while still getting the point across that this seems like another injustice to Elliott.

Please check out the thread "O M G, Another jerk working for Fox" to see the nasty reply I got to my email about this. It's horrible...

Seems pretty crappy for Fox to do, especially considering how many people watched AI just to see Elliot every week, but it's all good. Elliot needs their little poll as much as he needs one of the Brittenum twins singing backup for him. E will be re3membered LONG after this poll is forgotten.

True that !
Polls don't buy CD's , people do and we will all make sure that in CD sales , Elliott will be #1 - they can't clear the numbers on how many Elliott Cd's we will buy .
Elliott's is the only Cd I will ever buy in multiple copies for gifts .
He WILL be signed , and he will be vindicated in the long run.
Fox sux ! :poke:
