Some 730 million votes were cast on American Idol this season, or more than five times the number of votes cast in the 2008 presidential election. That means one of three things: a) Americans like music more than politics; b) 12-year-old girls are prodigious texters; c) both (a) and (b).
But for now, let's focus on (a). That's why infoMania and HTC would like your help in creating Sergio Cilli's next White Hot Top 5, which will count down five (white-hot) emerging artists.
So please tell us your favorite emerging musical artist. You can tweet your selections to @sergiocilli with the hashtag #HTCSensationmusic, e-mail your pick to infomania@current.com, or go to infoMania's Facebook page. You'll have until midnight ET on June 22 to submit your picks.
Sergio will then create his White Hot Top 5 based on your suggestions. The segment will air on the July 1 episode of infoMania. And democracy will never sound so good again.
Here's a sneak peek at tonight's "White Hot Top 5," including Sergio's call for nominations.

There hasn't been much background on infoMania's resident music guru, so host Brett Erlich, and the rest of the infoMania cast discuss what it's like to work with their favorite indie hipster, who isn't only into indie and actually just a part-time a hipster. Sergio even drops a few more details about himself, including what it's like to work on infoMania's set and where else comedy-lovers might spot him in Los Angeles.

If the homemade R&B music video that Sergio Cilli uploaded to YouTube had caught on like Justin Bieber's, today he'd be filling arenas with screaming tweens rather than hosting the White Hot Top 5. But Sergio's loss is infoMania's gain. So sit back and enjoy his review of the top music moments of 2010, including The Biebs' aforementioned "Baby" cut breaking the Youtube record for most views (with more than 408 million). Sergio also shines his white, hot light on Kanye West, the cast of "Glee," the Beatles, and the Insane Clown Posse. Plus: We weren't kidding about Sergio making an R&B demo; it's here too.

What goes through an actor's mind, during a performance? This is the type of question James Lipton asks his guests on Inside the Actor's Studio. I had a chance to sit down with one of the great background actors of our time.
You might remember his background dancing on the White Hot Top 5 and Target Women. Last night on the Rotten Tomatoes Show, he was featured in his most prominent role to date.
Current_Comedy This video was really funny. Brett and Ellen had stellar performances. You were just in the background. What would you say to critics who don't believe that you influenced the quality of this piece?
JoshuaHeller I'd have to agree with them. I was checking out my new smartphone the whole time.
CC but there were certainly moments when you emoted.
JH Oh that's true. For example Brett asked the camera "Does anybody know what jump back means?" It was so easy for me to react the way I did, because I had no idea what it meant.
CC You seemed really excited when the final verdict came through and Ferris Bueller was declared cool. Was that acting or reacting?
JH Again I was reacting earnestly. Maybe I got a teency bit more excited, because the cameras were rolling.
CC What would you say to young people looking to break into the field?
JH I'd say get a job in the media industry. Sit at your desk, and if someone asks if you want to be an extra. Say yes.What goes through an actor's mind, during a performance? This is the type of... more
