Or...

They could still vote for their favorite but have that vote be 50% and the judges be 50% (I think this is what they do Dancing with the Stars). This would insure no early off for the most clearly talented. Seems to work on "Dancing".
There's a tremendous incentive for hitting #1 and with that goes something like one million dollars (not sure of the amount other than it's sizeable) and a contract.
