@ Curious Poker Chip .... yes, the voting method was stupid. But you do know that the whole show....no matter how the voting is done....is truly just about favorites, right? Even if the studio audience votes, or the home viewers vote from a live finale (which, yes, this should have been), it would be about favorites! All these shows, whether it be AGT, The Voice, American Idol, etc, are just a huge popularity contest. The only way to have the “most talented” person win is to have the judges (or some panel of “experts” actually pick the winner. Not just average people.  It turns into a popularity contest then.
