American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe gossips about show voting and more

Soulful young singer Joshua Ledet was eliminated last night from American Idol, setting up the finale next week between pop diva-in-training Jessica Sanchez and Dave Matthews/Bob Seger-ish groove crooner Philip Phillips. Idol’s producer Nigel Lythgoe took to Twitter to answer questions about the vote results and to share a few other tidbits. His little revelation above about the wild swings in this season’s top vote-getter slot is newsworthy given how closely the show guards such information.
