bad choice with megan. she's uber cute which I guess I must confuse with talent, and so I'm pissed off with VFTW.  Pick on someone else, will ya? This girl is a total babe. I don't care how much that emo-freak Adam can sing, that man-child ( give me a break, he's got to be in his mid-thirties...hehehe) has got the worst taste in the universe. And he sings like a pussy. SO LEAVE MEGAN ALONE!!!!

-Softie

Your site is fucking gay you guys are a bunch of idiots you cant tell who ever started the site might be resentful towards idol because they did not get on, you guys are homo's probably jacked of to the picks of the new queer on the show

I don't understand. The site is "Vote for the Worst" but there is no where to vote and no where to watch the performances?

-chip

Where is the mail? The site has become a bore. When VFTW got started, it was the entertaining value of the hate mail that launched and made the site a success. Now it's like listening to Rush Limbaugh. It's time for the self indulgent editors to move on and their blogging fan club to go with them. I need your hate mail with my coffee.

Hey there VFTW.com,

I just wanted to stop by to say that I visit your site often, and there's usually some pretty funny stuff...but I just wanted to share some thoughts that you, and most of the members of your site, are some of the most angry, unhappy, pathetic people I've ever seen.  I honestly laugh out loud while reading some of the comments, just because they are SO outlandish and over the top.  I picture most of you people (yes, I said "you people") as the type that should be turned in to the school counselor as a tip for someone that is a threat to go on a shooting spree in the school.  Anger...that's all I see.  Now...there are people on the show that deserve to be made fun of, like Tatiana.  She's a loon-bag if I've ever seen one.  But for all of you to make fun of some of the people on the show who are actually genuinely nice people...it's just stupid.

Anyways, just wanted to share that opinion.  And don't take it wrong, I think the idea for the site is actually quite good.  It's just the excessive anger that gets me...

PS-  Go kill a small animal or something, it will make you feel better.

I just wanted to say that Norman Gentle should have been the next American Idol.

I have to admit, I'm somewhat of a fan of your website.  I do believe that alot of these shows are set for ratings rather then allowing the general public interests. I mean come on, the show HAS to have ratings. Ok, I get that part. And I give you props, becasue your website certainly does keep fueling the fire and getting people to vote, giving AI those ratings. Good job there.

But lately i've noticed a steady decline. Your website use to be funny and people's opinions actually made sense. But now days it's just trash about Danny's dead wife and crap like that.  Instead of being a website where people can just relax, talk about a show that obviously has it's moments of being scripted rather then the american voting experience, your website has become nothing more then a mocking, insulting, disgusting place where it would appear you have let 12 year olds take over.

To bring out the truth and point at it is one thing, and quite frankly needs to be done, as this has been shown by the countless viewers of your website. But a little control must also be placed on that.  Your website has become a filthy sewer for trash to run their mouths. And it's hard for thsoe who actually DO have a good opinon to be heard. Clean it up VFTW, for the sake of what you started!

-Jason

So yeah, I watch the show frequently.  And yeah, I've heard of you guys.  And yeah, I think you all have no lives.  But whatever, you're entitled your own opinions.  You can choose to hate the show, but really?  You chose to devote an entire website with news, blogs, and a podcast type radio show?  Wow...that's opinions to the extreme.  I congratulate you for doing so much to what you strive to do, but if this is what you want to do with your life, then you need to get a new life.  Trying to ruin a show just because it's rigged is like boycotting Stop and Shop because the prices suck there.  I don't suggest you shut down the website, but don't you think you should really rethink what you've done?  I'll admit that the show is rigged, but is this what you want to do to "combat" the show?  You guys probably don't have that much of an effect on the show anyways...and Sanjaya was a perfect example to show how the show is rigged, not how you guys screw up the voting.  I've been watching www.dialidol.com since I started watching, and they've been near 100% accurate in their predictions.  So yeah, I said what I had to say.  Bye.

-Jon

You guys picked Megan Joy as "the worst" and claim victory every week, but it was such a safe pick.  She's not the best singer, but she's hot so I hope she makes it the whole way thru.  The absolute WORST on the show is Scott MacIntyre by far.  He should have been kicked off just for ATTEMPTING to sing a Martina McBride song.  I don't even have to fast forward my tivo, the little Tivo logo Man sees this moron sit behind the piano and attempt to sing and it skips past his performances for me.  Then he completely ruins the group songs each week because he'd fall off the stage if he attempted to dance.  America must be eating him up since he wasn't even in the bottom three! What an absolute joke that Alexis gets sent home and Frizzy top goes on tour.  What a nightmare for her. Maybe we need that psycho black chick from Hollywood week to show up at the going away party and tell it like it is.  Scott sucks!

Firstly, Love your site... It's very entertaining and funny. We get idol here on Friday and Saturday, so first thing I do when I'm done watching them is come in to the site and get some Idol comedy and news... BUT, Regarding your site, I have to say that there are 2 types of "Vote for the worst"...

There is Funny and entertaining worst - that you want see continue... and want the people to vote and keep him going... A perfect example of this was: Norman Gentle. And there is "Stab both eyes out with scissors becuase the person is soooo fucking annoying worst" which is Tatiana...

Me and wife - both love to watch and criticize each singer who performs... but vowed if she makes the final 12 we will have to throw out our TV and feed our dogs the remote.. Seriously, how can any one human being with average hearing and sight not break their TV when she is on.

I love the whole concept of your site - that messes with the show... but I believe you went too far.  If I had a choice to push her or Ben-Laden off a cliff... that would be one hard choice to make. That's it... Again - Keep up the good work!!

-Tal

I never watched American Idol until this season. Your website has actually got me watching the show. Your website rocks.

-Josh

You guys at vote for the worst really need to get a life but so do the irate people who write you hate mail. It's just a F%*#ing reality television show! TV people! Of course fans want to see the best singers put through, but most of the time people vote for who they like and can relate to, not the most talented, but then again thats not what it's all really about is it? It's not about singing and talent at all, it's about who has the prettiest face, who has the best personality, who does the audience relate to, who is the most marketable. If you fit all that criteria then they listen to you sing, and if you even sound the least bit decent, they will put you through. What it all comes down to is making money, who has their pockets lined the fattest,  for all you at VFTW and the people of American Idol. Neither of you (VFTW or AI) cares about any of these contestants, their feelings or their futures, you're all just in it for the money. But in the end none of it really matters. If a singer who has made it to the top 13 has any talent whatsoever it won't matter when they get voted off, some record company will come swoop on them in an instant. So to VFTW and AI, keep making that money and looking out for yourselves, it's what you do best!

How dare you people have a website like this!  Shame on you!  I mean, enjoying a television show in a way that's different from how it's intended to be enjoyed should be illegal.  Like if someone wants to watch a crime drama because they think the lead character is sexy, and not because they find the dramatic antics of law enforcement engaging - the real cops should break down the door of their house and take them to prison.  Forever.  Just like what should happen to you horrible people.  Doing things like that ruins television for the rest of us!  You should use your votes to vote for the people who are the best, not the most 'entertaining'.  This is a show about singers, not stage performers!  That's why it's done in audio only.  Duh.  I mean, you can't just use your vote however you please, for whatever reasons you want.  That is just so un-American.  /Sarcasm.  On a serious note, you guys rock.  Thanks for making the weeks in which I have to endure my family watching Idol a little more amusing.

Re: Adam Lambert. Who cares if he is gay, straight or Bi (my guess). I don't want to have sex with him I just want to look at him and hear him. I love that.

-Mammogerman

I have been a fan of lurking on your site for a few years now. I have never had the guts to email you … until now that is. I have to really give it to whoever at VFTW comes up with those freaking hilarious graphics! Oh, and the humor on your website it is just incredibly funny, not to mention spot on. I am sure you get tons of hate mail, people thinking you are a wise SOB. But hey, my hats off to you at VFTW. Keep up the good work, because you are really making not mockery of some of these people, but rather really saying what all of us are THINKING. One more thing – it is quite refreshing to see that whoever writes the blogs on your website can actually spell and use proper grammar. Now I find that amazing in this day and age. Caw Caw…don’t let that ring of fire burn your ass.

-Susan

This is probably one of the worst sites ever! Blah blah blah I'm gonna waste my time writing hate mail because I'm a loser that lives with their parents. Oh wait, that's all false this website is just amazing. Every week I look for your crazy antics on this years contestants. I enjoy looking at all of the hate mail you receive and just laugh knowing someone truly hates this site and enjoys wasting their time writing to you about it. Sure I'm wasting my time typing this right now, but it's just to profess my love for this crazy site. Bravo to everything you guys do!

-Alex

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Tatiana got kicked off again!!  You have to be REALLY bad to get kicked off the show TWICE!!  Of course, if you're dumb enough to sing the same song for the third time it's no wonder.  She is such an incompetent moron! I'm glad that the judges crushed her dreams again!  It was totally worth it to see her cry!

-Kelli

Hi VFTW, I just wated to say thank you for getting Alexis off the show thank you so much. and also if she was on the tour i could't eve bring myself to go. but you guys made it possible to get her off the show before the top 10. and it also proves that she was wasting a spot. ad for me it makes up for Tatiana being eliminated on the show twice. so againg Thank you VFTW you are awsome.
