2008 American Idol Season
The 2008 season is here and TrendMojo is getting ready.
We stopped tracking the 2007 contestants at the end of the year but i started looking at several of the class of 2007 again today: Jordin, Blake, Melinda LaKisha and Sanjaya. Ever noticed how you improve your chances if your name ends in an “a”?
Check out their ratings at http://www.trendmojo.com/americanidol/ As soon as the 2008 contestants are announced we will start tracking the buzz for this superb crowd.
I am still using the ProWebSurfer service to see Sanjaya every time I use the web. Memories…
TrendMojo Technology Update
Frequent visitors to politicalmojo, celebrity trendmojo and baseball trendmojo will notice that our ratings have changed.
Typically, our new scoring algorithms are more realistic (pessimistic?) than our previous model so you will see scores change dramatically from the beginning of July.
Do not be alarmed: our revised rating and sampling system provides a significant upgrade to better track the perception of people and issues in the public eye. Please comment on this blog or contact us by email if you have any questions.
It’s Over !
So this American Idol season is over. The TrendMojo team plan to review what we have seen over the past 12 weeks and see how accurate our tracking has been.
For all our fans, we have set up trend tracking sites for US presidential candidates and Major League Baseball: soon to come – Celebrities! Check us out at www.TrendMojo.com
Stacey, Richardson out as predicted by TMJ
So we at TrendMojo were right ! Everyone says they predicted the double exit, but only TrendMojo tracked detailed blogs and news articles for sentiment and attitude to quantify all this. Check in next week for our next predictions…
American Idol Double Elimination round
Now we have been running our American Idol TrendMojo report for the past few weeks, its time to make a prediction. It would appear that based on buzz Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson are the most likely to be eliminated in today’s vote (May 2).
Lets see…will they be the two-some going home after tonight’s vote? The interesting thing is that neither one of them is on the top 3 per TrendMojo.
Based on sentiment from recent blog posts, Lakisha had a great night last night and TrendMojo reflects that – she is in the number one position.
TrendMojo – Sanjaya exit predicted…
The TrendMojo tracking site shows a clear fall in quantity of user-generated postings, and reduced positive buzz in these postings. a betting man could take this as an indicator of weakness and predict Sanjaya’s exit.
This TrendMojo stuff is cool.
(For Sajaya fans, check out the video from ProWebSurfer. Better still, sign up for the free ProWebSurfer service and get Sanjaya pictures all over your browser).
