I call them the "country cult". This is why blah blah blah blah blah blah Will you explain to me why the country cult voting for Kadie Lynn was weaker than half of the acts of that night including Sal and Calysta? Actually, I don't even think there was a cult vote for Kadie and her quarterfinal performance video has a lot more views than those turds you have to bring up a thousand times.

You're jumping the shark if you think Julia, TPZ, Vello, etc. were eliminated because of who they are rather than their type of act or getting buzzed. This isn't a good year for comedy acts. Yet, I will agree with Malevo (for not being in the top 5) to some extent. Having a social media following is fairly important and your fanbase should be residing in the country where you can vote. Actually, now I wonder what fraction of Grace VanderWaal's fans actually reside in the United States.
