The Amanda Overmyer Tribute Radio Show

Posted by thefunnystone on March 19th, 2008 at 2:00 PM

Amanda Overmyer has been our pick for 4 weeks now and we want to see her win the whole shebang. Due to the love for our VFTW chile, we are dedicating our radio show this week to her. If she's still in after tonight, it will be the Save Amanda Overmyer call-in special where we convince everyone to vote for her. If she's gone (hopefully not!), then it will be the Amanda Overmyer Idol memories show where we talk about all the good times we had watching her. We prefer #1 though. Make sure to listen live at 10 PM Eastern, 9 PM Central this Wednesday, March 19 to celebrate all that is Amanda. And you can call 218-486-1300 and put in the code 556833 to talk live with Dave and Insane. The show is going to be a lot of fun, and we have new headsets, so you have to hear our improved sound. 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.

Hey Ferch,

You forgot that it's Easter, hence look for the VFTW resurrection in three days.

No, I agree. Amanda was way over this show by about the 3rd week of competition. That night that she wouldn't smile when getting all the praise, that's the night I think she woke up to what the show really was and checked out. And by her refusal to conform to what the judges wanted, I think that was her big F You to the show, she just bided her time until she went home. Her sing out last night was awesome, she could not have given a flying fuck about it, she just meandered through singing here and there and walking around. Truly the only thing missing was her middle finger, which I would have loved to see.

You're welcome, whomever you are. If you're Amanda and I one day pursue my dream of driving across America, I will definitely stop in Lafayette, Indiana just to shake you hand and say thank you for the entertaining times. Also to commiserate Nigel's using you to hate out this website. Keep on biking, luv. Amanda I have you as the 7th best voice on the show, so you should have stayed a month. Nurses rule.

Now, on to Carly Hennesey-Tatooface Liar Lying Liar The Plant Shitson.

I don't think she bottom 3ed. I think she was put there, and put there first, to give her even more face-time. Did anyone note how she ingratiated herself in the middle and wrapped her arm around Kornball Kountry Kristy and Amanda at the end when Ryan Metrosexual called them up? That was to show what a great loving hugger she was when one of them lost. It was a pathetic ploy and it failed.

Randy Jackson and Nigel, you have no shame.

Did anybody else think that she looks a little bit like Beetle Juice?
The vote has to be rigged, I voted for Chile over and over again, they just didn't want her on tour.

Enough with the rigged voting already. Yes, you called in over and over, what maybe 200 calls? Out of 29 million? So you accounted for 0.00069% of the voting. So yes, it must be fixed with you having that large of an impact. I can not imagine there would not have been a lawsuit by one of the contestants voted off the show if there was any evidence of rigging.

I phoned in last night. Thanks for taking my call. I am of the mind that Amanda was rail roaded or her core fan base was too hung over or still partying from St. Pattys Day to fucken vote. As a friend of hers I am still in shock that she was voted off. Sure... for what Amarica wants it was realistic to think she had an up hill climb. However... Chakizee is an ass kissing stain! Did anyone notice how he tried to hug and then whisper in Amanda's ear and she pushed his chicklet mug away from her? She knew he was pining for the cameras and she was not going to be a part of it. Kristy and Amanda standing there was horrible to watch! Amanda handled it with grace! Kristy went to hug her and she pointed her to the couch in a gesture that only made her more beautiful to the people who know her and to those who have rooted her on.

The moron above me needs to get original. The Beetlejuice comment has been used on the net and it doesn't fly!

Last night we all witnessed the weight of AI being pressed against a girl who was true to herself. Last night we saw how fatal it can be to speak your mind to the 3 stooges! Last night we all saw just how stupid the mainstream is! The fucken show should be renamed to "Simon Says"!

I am of the belief that AI is very aware of this site and its impact and I believe there was a calculated effort on their part to manipulate the numbers (and her slot.. first) so they could claim VFTW has no impact.

When we all found out VFTW picked Amanda there was a less then enthusiastic response! However, you (worsters) got her and embraced her and that was very cool. Sure the haters post and that's to be expected but for the most part this site is very cool!

On the radio show last night I said I wanted Chakeezee to be next. I said that because I believe who ever you pick AI will bounce. So if it's war they want then give it back to them with both guns. Pick David A. He sucks anyway and for him to carry the VFTW brand would drive his Pappy out of his mind!! And you would confuse the sheep who play "Simon Says"!

This is what I've been saying. VFTW needs to push Carly or Wheezy to get TPTB overthinking about their choices.
If we support one of them, then either Nigel has to bounce them to be consistent with his anti-VFTW tactics or run the risk of media reports that the winner was the singer who was pushed by VFTW.
Of course, don't actually cast votes for them.

JohnnyDrama,
If you are a friend of Amanda please keep us aware of what's happening with her career. Websites, record deal, bar & concert tour. I am looking forward to hearing great things from her! Thanx

No surprises last night.
I knew Amanda would be gone - she just didn't fit what TPTB want, at all. She had her own style and made it obvious that she really didn't give a shit about the whole AI thing.
I'm glad that she did get the exposure and can now parlay that into a recording/performing career.
When little Ryan announced that she was leaving, I started yelling at my TV* (hoping she would refuse to perform "one last time") That would have been a big F-U to the prodouchers of the show.

* It's at times like this I'm glad I have no living neighbors

Rock on Chile!
