We've gotten tons of letters saying that David Archuleta better not win American Idol. He's annoying, he can barely form a coherent sentence without gasping for air and laughing nervously, he sings the same thing every week while getting more nervous, he forgets the words on a regular basis, and he's controlled by his obnoxious stage dad. So wait... that makes him the worst. Hey, there we go! Obviously less talented and less marketable than Syesha and David Cook, Gaspy is the new VFTW pick! Sure he's annoying, but that's why he's perfect. Most of America does not want him to win. Imagine an Idol winner who couldn't aspire to be much more than a less-talented Clay Aiken. Imagine an Idol winner whose press tour would take 20 minutes to answer a single question. And just imagine the type of sappy ballad that the producers already have lined up for David to record, dripping with extra cheese and terrible melisma. We smell failure! Hopefully this won't get him locked in his cage for another night. Break free, Gaspy. Break free. As an added bonus, if you sing Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss" this week, we'll love you forever. Who's working the strings now? Daddy? The producers? Or VFTW?

"Don't ask how I came about it, but I just watched the "We Are the World" video. Priceless! We all seem to agree that the Idol group songs are cheesy. I can only think of a few [group songs], but I have the utmost faith in you to come up with some obscure and wonderful combinations of people... this may be more difficult than it seems." - Pizzamama

Ah… the dreaded group number. So tacky. But that doesn’t mean that all group songs are. As per Pizzamama’s request, I scanned my playlist for good group songs, which did, in fact, prove difficult. Nevertheless, below is a list of my favorite musical collaborations.

Predictable. Boring. Like this season. Laaaaaaaame. Looks like the producers really don't care about ratings this year. What to do now? Well, we've gotta keep making fun of this terrible show.

YOU BETTER NOT SAY THAT YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE KELPT JASON IN.HIS LOYEL FANS HAVE DID THAT WE SAVED HIM LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK.US!! THIS FANS!! HIS DIE HARD FANS!!!! FUCK OFF I HATE YOUR SIGHT! FUCKING UGLY DOG FACED ASS FAT ASSES!!! ALL OF YOU ARE NO GOOD!

serioulsy...i agree with the last person who just lashed out about you fucking pathetic losers...do you have nothing better to do than ruin peoples lives?...really...get a hobbie,go get a job,GET A FUCKING LIFE!. Those people are there because its their lifetime DREAM to sing and perform..you jerkoffs might think its all a big joke, but its not funny to them, they've worked sooo hard to get where they are and you're just ripping the poverbial rug right out from in under their feet...sorry, big word, but its your problem if you're to stupid to understand. Carly deserved to be up there with the best of the best...but instead you sorry excuses for people thought it would be funny to ruin her life..honestly, I hope whats gone around really does come right back around to YOU, you deserve to feel the disappointment of losing your dream when its just inches away. Thats all...hope you have a terrible day :)

Is Jason safe or gone? Yeah... he's probably gone, haha. So either we'll be picking a new worst tonight or we'll be celebrating the fact that pigs do in fact fly. Listen at 10 PM Eastern, 9 PM Central. And you can call 218-486-1300 and put in the code 556833 to talk live. Check back in this post an hour before the show for a "listen live" link that you can click on to listen to us on the All Digital Radio Network.

The show will be starting at 10:05 PM central this week. So don't worry if you don't hear us right away.

Seacrest ponderously announces that the Idols will be singing two songs from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of all-time great rock songs.  “Maybe one of them will end up in the Hall some day” muses Ryan.  Eh, maybe not, dude.

After a lively discussion of what is wrong with Idol here at VFTW, I think we can all agree on one point.  What if they took away all the lies and the money-grubbing and humiliation of delusional contestants, and just made the show into a singing competition?

What is so wrong about a nation-wide search for the best undiscovered talent in America?  Oh, right.  Because this..............................................................
Is American Idol...  How could I forget?

I have never seen someone thrown under the bus with such conviction. Bravo, producers and judges. You all but already eliminated Jason Castro before he even sang a note last week, so you're just finishing the job tonight. So what does Jason do? In typical stoner fashion, not give a shit. And it was awesome! Jason’s antics tonight were legendary, even if the rest of the night was a snooze. Even when the contestants get to pick their own songs, we learn that they have really awful taste or have no idea what suits their voice. Thus, the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll became the 8 Songs that People Will Forget About By Next Week.
