document.write("Idols is a #### competition.  MNet should stop it all together.  Any two year old would know that you cannot release results on the day of the competition because of delays in SMS's....why MNet could not....only they will know.  The judges are ####....the production is ####.....and the presenter....don't even get me started on that idiot. Take it off.. Anonymous");

document.write("Jason, I must really say that life has dealt you a terrible hand....such a tough life living in a mansion in Jo'burg, being driven around from one do to another, getting all the slotlight, signing autographs, etc, etc. Hey boet - get a life! Sasha-Lee does not owe you anything. For all we know, ther are other screw-ups and you weren't the winner after all! So be glad that you have the title and stop acting like a superstar before you have achieved anything. Look at American Idols and see how humble those guys are - and they can actually sing! Since you were awarded the title you have behaved like a spoilt brat. First achieve something, like write and recoed your own song, then we can talk.. tk");

document.write("Jason.Stop double talking and accept there was an error which might still not be correctly sorted out and she may have still beaten you.Therefore MNET had no choice but to declare two winners.You are not losing anything. anon");
document.write("<h5>Comment on Jasons article</h5>");
document.write("To tk and anon Jason won this competition hands down it has been proven and he does deserve his time in the spotlight.  He's cd is selling well. His private live has got nothing to do with this competition.  He was voted the winner and should be the only winner.  Go Jason we are waiting for your cd's. . Fan");
document.write("<h5>Liar Liar</h5>");
document.write("What about the article o the fron page of the Cape Argus? Jason denied the statements to the Argus and it's only when Heat Magazine said it had tape recordings of the interview that he changed his mind. This goes to the fellow's character - a bit of an @ssh0le I'm afraid.. Matthew");
document.write("<h5>Hey Jason gave up his career as a Wimpy waiter to win Idols.</h5>");
document.write("I feel sorry he has had to bear such hardships. Especially compared to his great sacrifice. I bet he wished he was back serving tables now.. Wallyumbibo");
document.write("<h5>We demand that Idols make J Zuma the winner.</h5>");
document.write("He was obviously persecuted and had votes taken away from him. We demand J Zuma be given the winners prizes and money. We demand he wins everything. If not we will make Idols unmanageble.. ANCYL");
document.write("<h5>@ Matthew</h5>");
document.write("You have never made a statement and then wished that you hadn't..  Why the witch-hunt to prove how wrong and bad Jason is?  His statement is not inflammatory or derogatory - he expressed his opinion, that is all.  Perhaps he was warned not to say anything to put S/Lee in a bad light AFTER he had spoken to Heat mag.  Just typical reporting to sell more papers... Does not mean Jason is a filthy liar... hope you don't live in a glass house!  . Hello !");
document.write("<h5>How would you feel</h5>");
document.write("How would you feel if someone else won the competition and 5 days later said they made a mistake - you are the winner, but you don't get your 15 seconds of fame and you have to share the title with someone who were more than 200 000 votes behind you. The other person gets the same prizes, etc. You feel frustrated, angry, etc but MNET told you what to say in interviews.. piet");
document.write("<h5>ALEXANDER FORBES</h5>");
document.write("Everybody is against M-net but I think the auditors are also to be blamed. They were paid, I take it, to do a job. Have they done it? The answer is NO. They should be penalised...... Josie");
document.write("<h5>Undeserving</h5>");
document.write("Jason proved that he is a liar. Hello, can't you understand English reasoning? His statements conflict each other.<br /><br />My advice to Sasha Lee. Submit the crown of Idols winner. Its a shame that you are not recognised, but i'm sure you will pick up more worthy contracts overseas. You have superb talent!. Pete Pete");
document.write("<h5>Jason Ai...</h5>");
document.write("...get it? Jy's 'n N###. Ha Ha. @ Hello. He lied. Initially he was happy to share now he's not. He told Heat one story and lied to Argus. Plain and simple. I agree that he's the worthy winner but what did Sasha do wrong? She's not to blame for the debacle and what's happened is in the past. The true battle will now be popularity and record sales...let's see who wins that one. . Bradley Barnes");
document.write("<h5>Idols</h5>");
document.write("Pete never mind English can u count 200 000 votes more say Jason is the winner not Sasha Lee.  She is good but not the winner.  Check out the sales on the cd's and u will clearly see who is better. As per Mnet \"there can only be 1 winner - Jason - as voted.. Fan");
document.write("<h5>Undeserving 2</h5>");
document.write("I'm not sure i can believe the statistics of the last 600 000 votes. It is distorted, and does not correspond with the sampling trend, unless Jason voters all voted at the last minute. Unlikely.<br /><br />Were there perhaps more contracts in the waiting for Jason over Sasha? Did MNET (and perhaps even Alexander Forbes) stand to gain more money with Jason being declared the winner???<br />Can I even trust Alexander Forbes with my pension now either???<br /><br />Think wholistically - not just what your emotions tell you.... Pete Pete");
document.write("<h5>Fishy</h5>");
document.write("I agree with Pete. I am still not convinced that the true results are known and suspect that there are other reasons for making Jason a winner too. Supporters had a week to vote so it does not make sense that a quarter of the votes were cast in the last hour or so and that the trend over the week (where Sasha had more support) was bucked. I commented last week already that I think that the organisors could not bear the fact that another coloured girl (sic) from Cape Town had won (third time in a row). So they needed to make another plan. Anyway, I predict that Sasha will easily outsell Jason especially if she does some Afrikaans songs as well. She has a much better voice anyway.. tk");
document.write("<h5>IDOLS 2009</h5>");
document.write("Jason must accept that he lost. The competition rules does not make provision for technical errors. When the votes were counted he LOST. This is the simple answer. The rest is a lot of hogwash.. Michael Reddy");
document.write("<h5>of course she should hand back the crown</h5>");
document.write("It is an absolute disgrace that Sasha has selfishly held on to her title and denied the real winner his joy at winning.   In her heart she knows she is not the winner and I am disgusted she has not done so on her own free will.. john");
document.write("<h5>Sasha said she did not care if she has Jason fans as supporters</h5>");
document.write("last week I read an article that showed me her true colours.  She said she did not care what Jason fans thought and she did not need their support.  A decent person would say they understand how his fans would feel that they voted for nothing.  She is not honourable holding on to a false title. rose");
document.write("<h5>what is behind some Idol wins</h5>");
document.write("What some people do not understand is Sasha did not originally win because she had more fans, she had what is called the \"spiteful\" vote, ex Idol contestant fans  vote sometimes for the one they feel most threatened by and vote for someone who will not compete with their Idol.  It happens many times in Idols that the most popular does not win, because of those  very reasons.  . mike");
document.write("<h5>Jason</h5>");
document.write("Jason you need to get over yourself and stop behaving like a spoilt child, yes you won overall and yes you are good but so is Sasha-Lee, this is not her fault afterall is said and done she was pronounced winner \"on air nogal\" so why should she give it all back to appease your ego and besides she is just as good as you are,maybe better (in my eyes), she also deserved to win - GO SASHA-LEE - you don't hear her going on like a 'burst' but then her ego isn't as big as yours!!!!.
