You probably don't remember Jason, but he was in the top 24 last year. He was cast as fodder, but he had a decent voice, though of course the judges didn't ever compliment it because he wasn't ever given screen time. Either way, his weekly vlogs are kind of notable because you can see the show from the perspective of someone put on the show who knew that had no chance to win due to having no screentime. Around 8:31 he talks about how the contestants pick a list of songs and then the producers pick which song they get to sing. Not that we didn't know this, but it's good to hear it from more sources. Either way, Jason's vlog is smei-interesting, so keep up with it if you want to.
As we know, all of the Idol contestants read VFTW, despite what Carlyplant would have you believe. Jason Yeager recently posted a blog where he talks about, among other things, his time in Hollywood with Michael Johns, David Cook, and Luke Menard. He also referenced our website when talking about the day his roommate Michael Johns moved in:
I showed up in Hollywood week and checked into my hotel room. My roommate had already checked in and his stuff was already moved in. A few moments later the "Song-stealing-greasy-headed-douchebag" as he so lovingly became known to the four of us, (thanks to our wonderful friends at votefortheworst.com) lol!!!!! We instantly became really good friends that whole week.
Glad you liked the nickname, Jason. It's very fitting! Though this is now the second account we've heard of Michael Johns being kind of cool. Hmmmm... maybe he's only a slight douchebag, but still pretty greasy. Take a shower and we'll talk.

When American Idol debuted in 2002, its supposed goal was to find the best undiscovered talent in America. Singers like Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, who had dreams of stardom but never had the connections, were catapulted to megastardom. The producers found diamonds in the rough and launched their careers. But a disturbing trend has surfaced with the spoiled contestants of American Idol 7 – they’re no longer even remotely undiscovered talent. A large percentage of them are failed singers and entertainers who have already had their shot at fame. Yet Idol thinks that repackaging these failures is a good idea to make us watch their show. Gone are the days where you or your friends could try out for Idol and make it big. Now you have to already have connections. Read on to find out more about how this year’s show will just be a boring hash of recycled pseudo-celebrities who weren’t good enough to make it the first time around. And keep checking back as this article is updated almost every day with new information.
