Erika Jo Heriges, 18, has been crowned the winner of Nashville Star 3 -- but runner up Jason Meadows is the winner on the show's official message boards. Most viewers posting to the boards are not happy about Erika's win. Here are some of the topic threads I read after Tuesday night's season finale: "Erika Sucks!" "What the Crap?" "Jason Will Be More Successful" and "Rigged, Rigged, Rigged." Ouch!
