American Idol fans have undoubtedly heard of it – Vote For The Worst. This site was started in 2004 to support voting for the candidates who are more entertaining, regardless of their talent level. The reason for this is “During the initial auditions, the producers of Idol only let certain people through. Many good people are turned away and many bad singers are kept around to see Simon, Paula, and Randy so that America will be entertained.” Well, entertained we are. It’s no surprise that there is a preliminary round of judging and some of the most horrible talent we’ve seen is told that they’re talented so they’re absolutely surprised to hear the negative feedback from the judges. VFTW just wants to “give back” to the American Idol producers.
This year VFTW’s poster child is none other than Sanjaya Malakar. VFTW celebrated Malakar making the top 10 because that means he’s going to be on the American Idol tour. VFTW has a pretty large following and while they haven’t assured Malakar a win this season they have certainly pushed him farther in the competition than he’d have gone without them. Check out some of the hate mail VFTW is getting; some people take their American Idol very serious and VFTW is quite upsetting to them. What do you think of VFTW?
