Paula Abdul Has Never Had a Drink in Her Life
In case you haven't seen the infamous Paula Abdul drunken video, check this out. Paula's excuse was that she was answering the wrong question into the wrong camera because she was confused. Looks like she's answering the right questions to me, just after one too many spirits. If this is a sign of things to come, Idol 6 will be AWESOME.
Boomie Wins the Golden Globe!
Jennifer Hudson, known to Worsters affectionately as Boomquisha or Boomie, just won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Jennifer was actually the first ever VFTW pick due to her crazy outfits and over the top singing. Soon after, Boomie became way too good to be VFTW and rose in the ranks. And voila... she wins a Golden Globe. Big things happen for VFTW picks.
In other news, that bitch Whatevia STILL ain't impressed.
On the Eve of American Idol 2007
Welcome Back Class!
And so American Idol 2007 begins in Earnest... with 100 hours of bad singing. I will be there for all the hits and misses, and more misses of Bad Singing Month.
Six months ago Vote For the Worst helped crown a new American Idol winner.
Pop Quiz: Name last year's winner. I've already forgotten-- Oh, right that gray-haired dude. What was his name again? Taylor Hicks - You're Trivial Pursuit Question #100,876. Way to go dude.
Did anyone else notice that the day after Katharine McPhee lost she dropped like 40 pounds in order to become a pop star? Way to improve the body image for young girls across this nation, American Idol. Good Job! That can't be healthy for anybody, let alone someone recovering from an eating disorder. I can only wonder what would've happend if Mandisa won. Even Ruben dropped 150 pounds to become a "huggable Teddy Bear of Love." All I can say is I'm enjoying my anonymously flabby existence.
Constantcrap and the Baseball Cap
As we embark on the craptastic journey that will become American Idol 6, let us not forget our VFTW past. A lovely reader has sent us a picture of Constantine Maroulis doing a pose for the camera, with a woman next to him sporting a Votefortheworst.com baseball cap. Does Constantine actually like VFTW? Nope, apparently he was just too self-absorbed to notice the hat.
Votefortheworst.com Presents: The Truth About American Idol Auditions
The typical compliment to a great singer in this day and age is, "You should go on American Idol!" We all have friends that can sing circles around Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry, and many of them may have tried out to be on the most popular show in the country. Most of these great singers don't make it anywhere near Simon, Paula, and Randy.
Votefortheworst.com was started in 2004 to support voting for the entertaining contestants who the producers would hate to see win on American Idol. We vote en masse for the contestant that we feel provides the most entertaining performances that go against what the producers want in a winner and that annoy the viewing public. We don't necessarily vote for the worst technical singer; we take into account many factors like the contestant's personality, how well they dance and move around the stage, if they talk back to the judges or have an attitude, and how likely they are to annoy everyone when they stick around. We vote for the most entertaining contestant using our own criteria, but bad vocals are usually standard. Why do we do it? And are we ruining American Idol and crushing dreams?

The Minneapolis auditions were just horrific. There were only 2 people who made it through that couldn’t qualify as future VFTW contenders… so far. It seems that the producers will run this show into the ground and kill every ounce of talent until it’s The William Hung show. Not that I’m complaining. But seriously, do you have friends who watch this show for the talent? And do they have IQ’s above 100? We have guest judge Jewel who, according to Ryan, is “one of the most popular artists of the decade.” Ryan also announced in his pre-show monologue that “Katharine McPhee is America’s sweetheart” after launching into the other Idol’s successes. I guess the producers aren’t hiding the fact that they lie through their teeth anymore. Next week, Paula will be deemed the "world's most sober celebrity."
