Best Episode of Idol EVER. EVER. I mean, come on now. Between Sanjaya giving the most VFTW worthy performance in the history of the show and Chris Sligh giving me a shoutout on national TV and pissing off the judges (and probably producers)… I must say I love this show. I’ve got to vote for Sanjaya out of loyalty since he’s the VFTW pick, but I don’t see how Chris Sligh can’t be our backup when Sanjaya leaves if he loves VFTW so much. And we love him! Chris, you are the man. And Sanjaya, you are hysterical. I love them both so much right now, I want to kiss them. You guys are so awesome.

 

Do you even really want me to talk about the other performances? For real. The show started off boring with Haley singing Tell Him. Boring. Go home, Haley. Then Chris Richardson does a terrible, off key rendition of Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying. It was terrible and the judges called it modern and his “best performance ever.” They must all be drunk. Blake Lewis also has his worst performance ever with The Time of the Season. It’s painful to listen to, completely off key, and ridiculously cheesy when he tries to be sexy. Again, the judges love it.

 

OK, this isn’t getting to the good stuff fast enough. Stephanie is boring. My TV cut out in Chicago when Phil and LaKisha performed, because Fox Chicago must suck. Then Jordin delivered an amazingly great performance (not by VFTW standards) and proved she could probably win. I Who Have Nothing may be one of the best performances of the season. But who cares!

 

Then, my friends, we have Sanjaya Malakar. Before he sings, Peter whatever his name is says that this is a voting competition, not a singing competition. Simon looked pissed. He’s so right, and I love that guy! He decides to sing You Really Got Me, and I have to say, this is the best VFTW performance in the history of American Idol. For real. We start off with a crying girl who bawls throughout the entire thing in cutaway shots. Sanjaya comes out screaming and howling, completely in the wrong key. Then he starts dancing in a manic fashion. Then, he jumps on the table and starts dancing more. He starts to go crazy, screaming… I think I had a VFTW orgasm. This is just the funniest thing I have ever seen on television. Thank you so much, Sanjaya, you have made my year. Randy and Paula liked it, probably because they’re converted Worsters, and Simon couldn’t even talk because he was so disgusted. I… love… this… show.

 

Gina sings Paint It Black, and it’s really off key. Whatever.

 

Chris Sligh then does She’s Not There. I’m a little underwhelmed by the performance, but it’s fairly good. The judges comment, and then it happens. Chris yells out “Hi, Dave”, not once, but twice. On the VFTW message board, we’ve always told contestants to give me a shoutout as a joke to show that they actually read our site. Smarterthanpickler wrote this:

This is a reminder to Chris:

Tuesday is coming, and this will be your final chance to reclaim your manhood. Remember, two simple words:

"HI DAVE"

Say these two words and I swear I will never bash you or call you a pussy again and that I'll use whatever influence I have to get you votes. Don't say these two simple words, however, and I will endlessly bash and humilate you until you are voted off the show.
The ball's in your court, chubby.

 

And Chris did it! This man is my hero. He wants VFTW to love him. Was it just me or did the judges look pissed? I just have to tell Chris, since we know he’s reading this site now, you are the man. Dude, we so need to go get a few drinks after this is all over and laugh about the show. You complete me. We totally can’t switch to you this week after all the work we’ve put in for Sanjaya, but if you keep it up, you’re guaranteed some VFTW votes once Sanjaya is gone.

 

Melinda then sings, but honestly, I was still jumping down so much, I didn’t pay attention. I was already having trouble paying attention after Sanjaya, but now I just don’t even care what No Neck sang. She sang some song well, then pretended like she’s never heard a compliment before, then had no neck, blah blah blah.

 

Sanjaya and Chris are my two favorite people this week. The only way to top this is to bring me money. Lots of money. And since that won’t happen, Chris and Sanjaya remain my two favorite people for the week. That episode was just pure hilarity.

 

I don’t care who goes home, as long as it’s not Sanjaya or Sligh. I think Sligh will be fine without our help, and we have such a mobilized army for Sanjaya, let’s hope we can pull off a double VFTW victory this week. And if the producers kick Sligh to the curb for giving us a shoutout? You always have a place at VFTW, man. That was truly awesome. I can’t get over how awesome this episode was. So my official guess? Sanjaya might be sent packing, but I think it’s Haley.

I had never voted for American Idol before.  In fact, I never really watched it.  But I recently moved in with my girlfriend and have been subjected to the mindless drone.  It quickly became apparent to me that the producers "use" the tryouts to exploit those with no or little talent.  When the competition starts, it also became apparent that the judges had their favorites and want to quickly dispell those with lesser talent.  Lets face it, Simon has a monetary stake in the outcome. 

When I learned of this sight two weeks ago I was elated.  I voted for Sanjaya for an hour and a half last night (I could not get through in the first 30 minutes)  I am keeping my fingers crossed.  Hopefully he will make the top ten and Simon can get a taste of his own medicine. 

 As for the comments about ruining the career of Sundance, I have to disagree.  Why is Sundance entitled to more than Sanjaya.  I would not buy either or their CD's so does it matter?  In fact, up until Daughtry I would not/nor have not bought any CD's from contestants on American Idol.  And for all of you complaining, how many of you have bought a CD of an "idol".  I would bet you all (most of you) illegally download the music so it really does not matter at all.

I am all for the underdog.  The way I look at it, this is a way to keep the American Dream going.  We are always told through hard work and determination an American can make it....Well I believe Sanjaya is working very hard and deserves this as much as anyone.  To tell you the truth although he is not  a great singer I think he is a better performer than a lot of the others.  With technology today its not about the persons voice but their overall persona that sells records.  Come on, do you really think Brittney Spears sold records soley because of her voice.....or her looks!?!

 The untouchable Untouchable can actually bring it...

 Wow. I'm astonished, Sanjaya actually can bring it in his own little way. VFTW along with legions of sincere teenie bopper girls are going to keep Sanjaya in for at leat another week. Thus he remains the untouchable Untouchable...

Sanjaya topped all performances last night! That was outrageous... the Paula dance and the creepy Michael Jackson stubble look! How can you compete with that? My favorite part of the show was the "Hi Dave" BUT right before that, what the hell is Seacrest doing with his hand? If have tivo take a look, creepy Seacrest... creepy! For the most part everyone was boring and I talked through most of the performances, Chris rocked when he walked through the audience but the show stopper was Sanjaya and the little girl! AWESOME!!!! Just awesome!

Yeah, Dave.. that's how it went down.  NOT ONLY did Chris give you the shout, twice, but Ryan called attention to it, and Simon called it rude, and then Chris laughed.  I agree...

 Best.Show.Ever.

When Sanjaya finally falls, we should pick up Sligh fro (patro) sho!

She looks like an aluminum can.  Like she was caught in a trash compactor or something

That cartoon was way too funny!! :) You need to do one about drunken Paula hehehe. That girl was seriously wasted (again), did anyone understand her? Especially about the paint it black being simon's fav song? "Well he wouldn't like paint it purple". Sometimes I wish they would just have the camera on Paula (except when Sanjaya is on) then It would actually be an entertaining program.

Will the FCC level obscenity charges for showing a 12 y.o. girl's first orgasm live on broadcast TV?

What a great scam you guys at VFTW have going. How much do have invested in the phone companies? Everyone knows that they are truly the winners in this deal. Note the small print: All fees apply. How much do you think they make in  a night? Amazing. You guys really know how to make money. Nice job. Capitalism at it's finest. You are to be commended my friends.
