Read the article, and it sounds nothing like a fan page. While there are articles here that do, this is not one of them. If you feel some of the language is peacock-y, then fix it. Tagging accomplishes nothing in this case. H2OShipper17:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so one article thinks that the wildcard was brought back because of Josiah Leming's elimination...
That makes no sense, because he got cut before the voting started, so that wouldn't have applied to him.
Also, his elimination wasn't THAT controversial to bring back the wildcard, they clearly use dth examples of Tamyra Grey, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, and Michael Johns. Besides, he got eliminated because his last performance was bad. 24.224.170.188 (talk)Roshan —Preceding undated comment added 03:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]
