Final shows like tonight's are way too boring to blog about as all that remains are just boring generic contestants who've gotten this far because of tards and fraus so instead let's take a look back at the most VFTW moments on this season's show. When we first heard X Factor was coming to America we were very hopeful as The UK version of the show is so VFTW-friendly but things got off to a horrible start due to a repulsive amount of over-hype that turned off a lot of people before the show even got started. And things didn't get much better from there as this show had little of the VFTW magic the UK version does and we landed up with basically the exact same final we'd see on American Idol. But in all this dullness there were a few brave souls who let their Worster Flags fly by having meltdowns in front of the entire nation, going on mad rants about Jesus and refusing to sing so let's look back at the most VFTW moments of the past season...

 

 

#10: Cheryl Cole Fired

When Americans heard Cheryl Cole was going to be a judge on this show, most of them said Who's doing what? And this was just the beginning of the problems as Simon's ego was so out of control that he thought he could bring over a complete unknown with a nasty reputation and an accent so brutal even her fellow countrymen can't understand a word she says. Fox knew this was a disaster waitng to happen but gave in to Simon, but not before they covered their asses by having pretend co-host Nicole on stand-by for when it became clear Cheryl was going to be a disaster, which took about a show and a half to happen! This was a massive failure for Simon and his runaway ego and seriously hurt this show's credibility before it even got out of the gate.

 

 

#9: Dexter Haygood's Existence

The UK version of this show has wacky VFTW contestants like Jedward and Wagner that a show like Ameircan Idol never would. We were hoping the American version was going to do the same when we met complete trainwreck Dexter Haygood, right off of Skid Row. Dexter sang and danced like a VFTW madman, looked like a complete mess and bawled like a baby after every performance...

But this show was too desperate to gain a shred of credibility so entertaining contestants like Dexter were cut, sucking the fun out of this show.

 

 

#8: 'Ol Leroy Bell's Lip Syncing and overall senility

One of the selling points of this show was that they had old, decrepit contestants like 60-year-old Leroy Bell. But with this reality comes Senior Moments, and 'Ol Leroy had more than his share, first when he completely fucked up during a group number, exposing that they all lip sync on this show...

 

Leroy's fuck up forced this show to have the contestants actually sing, and this led to another 'Ol Leroy Senior Moment when he completely missed his cue during another group number...

Poor 'Ol Leroy ain't what he used to be and was humanely put out to pasture when all his senior fans switched over to the Dancing With The Stars finale before poor 'Ol Leroy got to perform. lol

 

 

 

#7: Steve Jones constantly fucking up

Like Cheryl Cole, when people first heard that Steve Jones was going to be the host of this show, they said Who? But now when people hear his name, they say Oh, The Horrendous Host of X Factor. Steve was way out his element from the start and gave us so many dreadful moments that we actually started liking him, like...

His bizarre, ever-changing diction...

 

His grace with eliminated contestants, like telling Lakoda Rayne The Dream Is Over!...

 

 

Nicole Kanyeing Steve and taking the mic...

 

 

But we especially loved how much he pissed off Simon...

 

And the contempt Simon had towards Steve, especially when he gave him the finger...

 

 

 

#6: Drew's Meltdown and Jesus Rant

Some wondered if it was a good idea having 14-year-olds on a show like this and they were proven right when Drew Ryniewicz was eliminated as nothing's healthier for a kid than having a massive meltdown in front of her friends, family and entire nation live on National TV. And then Drew refused to address the judges and began babbling in tongues about Jesus...

 

 

 

#5: Chris Rene is a WGWG!

After Asstro was cut we needed a pick that could follow in his glorious VFTW footsteps. Chris Rene fit the bill perfectly as couldn't sing, did the same song over and over again and could have a complete meltdown at any given moment. And Chris didn't disappoint us as right after we made him our pick he proved he was playing to win by whipping out the guitar, giving VFTW the opportunity to give this show the exact same White Guy With Guitar winner American Idol's had for the past four seasons. And he topped himself tonight by doing Young Homie for the millionth time. Thanks Chris!

 

 

#4: Melanie Amaro's fake accent satanic rant

Melanie Amaro seemed harmless enough, if really boring, as she cruised her way through this show week after week. But one night Melanie lost control and Satan took over as she began speaking in tongues and went on one of the all-time batshit insane rants about having a fake accent (starts at 5:15 mark)...

 

 

 

 

#3: Rachel Crow and Nicole have meltdowns in front of the entire nation

 

As we saw when Drew was eliminated, having kids on shows like this isn't such a bright idea, and this was reinforced in spades when Rachel Crow was eliminated. She had a VFTW Hall Of Fame  meltdown that included massive bawling, ranting to her mom and collapsing on the stage...

 

But things would get only better as Steve Jones put Nicole on the spot as it was all her fault that Rachel was eliminated as she refused to make a decision, causing Nicole to have her own meltdown when she was booed off the stage...

 

 

 

#2: VFTW exposes the truth about Stacy Francis and her early elimination

Stacy Francis annoyed the fuck out of everyone with her crying and whining about how she's never had a chance to have a career in music because everyone's holding her back along with the ridiculous amount of pimping she got from this show. Nothing would've made us happier than seeing her get knocked off early, and VFTW saw to that when we exposed The Truth About Stacy Francis. Stacy had it all: Massive plant, Scientology Freak, scuzzy connections, soap-opera private life and more lies than Carly Smithson could ever dream of. Our story caught fire and spread/was stolen all over the internet, ultimately being the lead stroy on Yahoo, and Stacy quickly went from the most pimped contestant on this show to being summarily eliminated, thanks to VFTW. Stacy finally had a legit reason to cry!

 

 

#1: Asstro's Non-Sing Off

Some were doubting VFTW's support of Asstro because of how often the tards clicked replay on his youtube video and how awesome the judges said he was. Asstro surely wasn't expecting to be in the Bottom 2 because he's so awesome because Simon and his mother told him so. But Asstro got a hard lesson about who watches and votes on shows like these as his punk ass was in the Bottom 2. The judges were going to vote him through easily until our boy nearly talked himself off this show by showing massive VFTW attitude and refusing to perform in the sing off! Asstro eventually decided to sing, but gave a completely half-assed effort...

 

 

Asstro then showed more VFTW attitude during the judge's decision when he just stood there with his arms crossed in a pose that screamed Whatevia!

The person we really need to get behind is Steve. Always good for a couple of laughs. "The dream is over"

As far as VFTW hilariously awful performances, Dexter is this year's winner HANDS DOWN. He shimmied, shook, and imitated James Brown and Prince like there was no tomorrow. If only he'd stayed longer, we might have had something entertaining to watch...


I still think Marcus deserves some kind of "Boy Wonder" Award for single-handedly causing some of the best elimination moments of the entire series.

Steve, with those british marbles in his mouth and up his ass is almost a monty python takeoff on brits. Send him back to his native soil. Please.

As for the show this evening, it was as stupid as anything televised in decades. The finals of a singing contest with a 5 million dollar prize to the winner, and they bring in pros for duets?? Just how fucking insane is that? And the marching robots with changing things on their chests? And Melanie, who is leading pig pen, according to dialidol, with the garbage junkie out, was once again captured by satan, causing her to sound worse than fantasia barrino, screeching out notes in multiple runs, unrelated to any known music extant.

Josh sang one decent song, with guitar, of course, but every other song was absolutely horrible, by all attempting to sing.

And the eternal fucking screaming from the audience, nonstop, whether Steve was mumbling, the judges were pontificating, or the contestants screwing themselves. Propofol those bastards. Shut them up.

You forgot Simon shamelessly breaking his own rules to bring back Melanie, even though it was grossly unfair to the other mentors. How lame!

The robots were not the only ones with things on their chests. Nicole was really showcasing her "talents" tonight, and no one has commented on it? I feel so pervy being the first one to mention it.


But wow. I guess if I had them like that, I might feature them in a picture window, too.


I also agree with Lakerman that the duet idea is one of the strangest concepts for a singing/entertaining contest. It failed, totally, only serving to showcase the failings of the contestant. Not that the "stars" fared much better with the weird over-production.


Now that the season is done, could someone please tell me why the four shils are called "judges?" They only say how great the performances are. On Idol Paula called all and sundry "pitchy." These people -- who should only aspire to improve to be "pitchy" -- are praised as if they are the Norman Fabernacle choir.


Oh well, time to read through the Idol top 300. Maybe Disastro or Carcass Munty will be amongst the chosen.

Great list. If the show had more wackiness like in the list, it might have been something. Instead, it was bad karaoke singing with formulaic reality show window dressing punctuated by a little (very little) wackiness. What could have been. Oh well. It really was no worse than Idol when you get right down to it.

Too bad you couldn't wait to do the list, Avril/Chris would have topped it. It takes a true VFTW contestant to make Avril sound like she can sing. Hearing them try to harmonize was just awful. Sorry Simon, that would NOT have been a hit tomorrow.

I agree with almost everything you wrote except

There was soooo much fail tonight that someone has to document each song and their specific shortcomings.


And whats with the Canadian women pimping themselves on this show? I was sure Celine Dion was going to join Smelanie.

You forgot to point out some of the other Steve Jones greatest clips.

On Rachel eliminated video at 4:11 having rudely asked Marcus to leave as he was trying to help, Rachel rejects Steve and runs to Simon leaving Steve on his knees not knowing what to do sighing and looking humiliated and rejected.

Then on the Tears results results clip at 3:12 he sighs heavily as he tells us next week it's all up to you. Then at 3:15 as he turns away from the camera at the end he pulls the worst possible sigh face as if to say only a few weeks left of this to deal with then I'm out of here and my boss hates me.


What I want to know is who were all the rejected people for Steve's job? How bad must they have been?
