Mail Bag Update 4/4/07

What you are doing is wrong and you need to stop. Sanjaya should win with his own strength. Though I dunno what strength is that. But It's like you guys are rigging the votes. And should just leave the show alone and let it run it's pace. I agree with some of the people that posted on the site. It's nothing but fraud. And it's not helping with the votes. You thought that you could go behind American Idol's back and come up a way to keep Sanjaya in. Well, you thought WRONG!!. American Idol is a show that fans can come in, cast their vote responsibly. Not so that you can come in as a n00b to vote and keep someone (who has a bad singing voice) in the competition. So, I'll say this so that even you can understand STOP NOW AND CLOSE DOWN THE SITE!! It's embarrassing to us American Idol fans.

My mother and I thinks you guys are taking the best show and ruining it by being so mean to Sanjaya, He's just a kid who's wants to be famous for good things and now he's famous for bad things, like you. If I was a laywer I would sue you and take all the money you make for this site and give it to Sanjaya! Until then, my mom and I will pray that you get sick or something, cause then you have to spend all your moneys on medicine and stuff and can't buy a car or something with the money you make from hurting Sanjaya and the other cool Idols I want to be like! I also talked to a lot of people at the McDonalds I work at and they think the same as me... so you should close down your site.
-Timothy

Whoever started this site had a good reason, but this is not how it should of been conducted!!!! Instead of beating the game, you are ruining it for millions of people who actually want to give the good singers who were picked a chance to win. Carrie Underwood, Kelly Carlson, they are the kind of people who should win. Not Sanjaya! I used to love American Idol, but i stopped watching it, because people who don't deserve to be there, like Sanjaya are there!!!!! Please fight the show rejecting good singers by over voting for the good ones and showing them you really don't care if they put the weirdos on, cause the person who is the best still will win. See then everyone wins, join the fight to keep American idol the way it should be!!!!! This site is a total misuse of America's Constitution.
-Torrae

This is the first season that I have watched this show. If "Vote For the Worst" didn't exist, I would never tune in to American Idol. I cannot understand why people are so riled up. The premise of the show is that "America votes". Are people claiming that America cannot be trusted with a popular vote? All these rumblings about voter suppression.............. What's next? An American Idol electoral college?
-Jennifer

This is the stupidest thing I have ever wasted three minutes of my life reading. You people really are sad. It would be wonderful if you could devote this much time and effort for a real cause, possibly a good one. You know there are starving children all over the world, homelessness, war, shall I go on? But, your encouraging people to spend their $ voting for this JACKASS who openly admits HE SUCKS! Imagine all the $ that will be wasted on this worthless cause that could be spent on something real. I find it to be pretty alarming that probably the same people who turn the channel when the commercials about world hunger come on are jumping for joy to throw away $ for such a dog log. To all of you people out there wasting your time you are AN ECONOMY SIZE DOUCHE! Thats my opinion
-Hannah

I think your site is a bunch of bull. You are encouraging viewers to vote for someone who honestly has NO talent! Talented contestants are being sent home week after week because of your encouragement to vote for Sanjaya. This is supposed to be a singing/talent competition, not a popularity contest. I am disgusted and appalled that your site is the cause that Sundance, Stephanie, and Chris were sent home. I think your site should be permanently shut down!!!!!
-Lindsey

Ummm....keep up the good work. I'd laugh my ass off if Sanjaya won the whole she-bang! I used to hate your site until it dawned on me how incredibly corrupt, political and two-faced the people on AI are...the biggest favor you could do for any of the good ones is for them NOT to win, and be mercilessly tied up with the Idol franchise.
-Diana

You and your website are making my life horrible. American idol is my favorite show, and you shouldn't be doing this! Why are you doing this to america? Why? I've cried every single night since I found out about this whole scheme. I can't take it! Sanjaya doesn't deserve to win, at all. And you shouldnt be bashing people like Katharine McPhee and Gwen Stefani. Sure, its a free country, speak your mind. But do you know how many people in america you are upsetting? Do you have any life at all? Dont you care? You are bringing down a TV show, one of the bests in the history of competitions on TV. Why are you doing this? You are so evil and absurd that I claim you, the creator, or whom ever else you are working with, the most horrible person that I've heard of! What you are doing is making my life a hell. You dont even know. You are an evil, torturous person and I hope someone finds out who you are, kills you, and I want you to die the longest and most painful death. You are a terrible person in this world, and we can all do without you! You should be absolutely ashamed of what are you doing! If there was someway to shut down your site, I would do it. American idol should sue you! Just watch when Sanjaya gets kicked off! Sincerely, You should die right now.

At first when I found out about this website, I have to admit, I was pretty pissed. But then I started researching American Idol and all of its tricks and lies. This show is such a scam. It is 5% real. And the millions of people out there who vote and watch this pathetic show are simply being brainwashed. You all fell for it (including me, but not anymore). What you guys are doing at VFTW is pretty cool. This show sucks and this is the best way to get back at the producers for making such a bogus show. Shame on you Fox. Now you will suffer the consequences for being dishonest with America. American Idol? I dont think so. Its all about ratings, not reality. Vote for Sanjaya!! I hope that he wins because Amercian Idol would never be the same after that. Maybe then they would rethink their audition process and make it fair.

Finally someone has figured this show out. My fiancee was on Canadian Idol last season, his name is Harry Butt....yes thats his real name. The only time he was shown on TV, was to make fun of his name. He was eliminated shortly into the top 100. Some of the people who made it into the top 24 bombed in all there auditions, forgot words, sang out of key. This year he decided to audition again, in the first round of producers he was told he "wasn't what they were looking for". Since we had some time to kill before we caught our train we continued to walk around the mall. Harry sang for the cameras, and while he was singing, some producer guy came running over and told the camera crew to stop filming him because they "did all the harry butt jokes last season". What can you do? I just wish people understood what a scam these shows really are. Thanks!
-Amanda

-Gabby

I just don't understand this site at all. It might be funny to vote for the worst, but Sanja is AMAZING. I could hardly sleep Tuesday night because his performance kept replaying in my head. I am in love with him! It is my belief that your site is using reverse psychology. You keep calling him the worst so that everyone will believe it is true and eventually vote him off. This is so unfair. Well, you play you little games. I am going to spend my time with fun stuff, like replaying the TIVO from Tuesday night. Go Sanja - SMOOCH!
-Todd

All you motherfuckers are going to pay! You are the ones who are the ball lickers! We're going to fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little whiny bitches. Once we find those fucks who are operating votefortheworst.com, we're going to make them eat our shit, then shit out our shit, and eat their shit which is made up of our shit which we made them eat. And then all you motherfucks are next.
-Sanjay

Perhaps you fancy yourselves amusing. Perhaps your lives are so bleak and dull that you have nothing to do, save for forming distasteful organizations and looking like fools. Whatever your reasons are, I, speaking as a disgusted thirteen-year-old, admonish you.
Maybe you have failed to realize that by doing what you are doing, you are manipulating other people's careers, lives, and dreams. If you have achieved this realization, though, I am even more appalled, if that is even possible. I am so angered by the fact that people like Sanjaya Malakar stay on the show, while true singers like Stephanie and Chris Sligh get sent home. Does this bother you at all? You people are cruel.
I do commend you, though, on the fact that you seem to be an extremely skilled writer and web designer. Perhaps you should use your talent for something that is not as deeply appalling as this. I expect that by this time next year, preferably before, this terrible affiliation will have dispersed, collapsed, gone kaput.
With that said, do understand that I also expect a legitimate reply back from you. Otherwise, you shall go through life with the knowledge that somewhere out there, a certain person, at the "ripe" age of thirteen years, eleven months, shamed you so much that you were unable to come up with a valid response to her. With as much respect as I can muster up for clowns such as yourselves, I bid you good day.
-Rachael

Shut this place down. SANJAYA MUST GET OFF OR I DIE! P.S. If you vote for him, your a butt.
-Trey

I want to thank you guys so much! My little brother is in the hospital, dying of a terrible disease, and the doctors told us that he wouldn't have lived to see march. But then something amazing happened.. he heard Sanjaya's angelic voice, and it got him so excited and gave him so much energy, more than he's ever had! My whole family were sad though, because we knew Sanjaya wouldn't last.. but then we heard about your website! As you ask, we each call in and vote for Sanjaya 50 times every Tuesday night, and the doctor says my brother is recovering! He may even walk again! And we owe it all to your hard work!
-Akira

You folks really have an exaggerated opinion of yourselves. Depraved you are, with a black hole where a heart should be. I rather feel sorry for you. When you go home alone, and when things get quiet, the real torture must begin. The torture of having nothing to hold on to but hate, hurt, and depravity. What a sorry existence to have. Of course, we know that no legal action is going to stop you, and no threats of teams of lawyers is going to change anything. We all know this. But we also know that in your heart of hearts, there is a small, broken, pathetic life, with only a glimmer of hope left. This must be why you have to see other people humiliated, so it makes you feel good about yourself. Not unlike the Jerry Springer show, where you are the ones on stage that everyone laughs at. You are those ones who we all think are so pathetic, that all we can say is "what a lonely, sad life they must live". In the end, Sonjaya will get voted off, because there are enough rational, sane voters who simply know talent, and the best singer/performer will win, just as they have for the last five years. Your impact is minimal. The ones that have gotten voted off did so because they weren't the best singers on the stage that night. Simple. They knew it. We knew it. The best are still competing, and the best will win, just like they have for the past five years. You have accomplished nothing. The wonderful thing about Sonjaya is his family, who love and support him, and his fans, who also love him and adore him. It won't really matter if he wins or not. He will have a great life after this, because he really seems to be a nice kid. What do you have to look forward to? An empty life, with "friends" who also think you are pathetic, and really don't want your friendship, because they know how utterly miserable and depraved you are. This is your legacy. I don't really care if you put this on your website. I feel sorry for you, and hope you find what you're looking for. Surely it can't be to hurt people just because you can. The Bible really is true: Whatsoever you sow, that will you also reap. In other words, if you continually plant seeds of hatred, jealousy, and contempt, that is what you will experience in your own life, only in a much larger way. Undoubtedly, you are already experiencing this.

Well it's about time! The entire premise behind the idol shows is completely ridiculous and is nothing even CLOSE to reality TV nor does it have anything to do with talent or who is the best and worst. They want as many losers and gaffs as they can possibly fit into the show to stuff their pockets, nothing less. I think what you guys are doing is hilarious and I take absolute pleasure in coming on here and checking out the retards that will be sending "lawlers" and the cops after you because you can influence the turn out of a show. I couldn't give a rat's ass about who wins or not on the show, so as someone who is completely indifferent the show, I think your entire campaign of keeping the person who I assume is the worst in top contention is nothing short of pure comic genius. So hats off to you guys and I hope the village idiots keep it up with the threats of "legal action" or calling the police. "Hello? 911? Yes, I'd like to report that SOMEONE VOTED FOR THE WRONG IDOL CONTESTANT!!! yes... yes I am sure... Hello? Hello???" If these people were any dumber, you'd have to water them twice a week.
-Dan

OMG U GUYS YOU ARE JERKS. SANJAYA MALAKER IS A GOOD SINGER. HE JUST NEEDS TO BELT IT OUT AND SHOW ALL OF YOU GAY BITCHES. HE IS SO ADORABLE, EXITING, AND UNIQUE AND I VOTE 4 HIM BECAUSE I LOVE HIM. HE IS NOT THE WORST. THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL, HALEY, IS. I HATE YOU JEALOUS ASS PEOPLE. I MEAN I DONT WANNA CLOSE YOUR SITE BECAUSE IF IT MEANS SANJAYA WINS, IM ALL FOR IT. BUT IF HE LOSES, I'LL BE PISSED AND THIS WOULD BE SO POINTLESS.
-Maya

Let me start off by telling you exactly how incredibly selfish, immoral and completely moronic your K-mart special Robin hood theory of voting for the worst singer in the latest or ANY American Idol season is. Ok, well first off all the show is called AMERICAN Idol. Maybe your self obsessed and destructive minds are not capable of the realization that in 2005, the American population consisted of an estimated 288,378,13 people. This means that yes the chances of an individual making it through weeks of struggling to audition for one television show are pretty slim. Also, with the realization that 90% of the thousands of people who audition lack either talent or star quality, two aspects that create a super star in which an American Idol is, of course for entertainment purposes the unique or merely interesting individuals appear on the show. It is true - American Idol has crushed several individual's dreams but aren't you actually contributing to this devastation by sending talented, deserving and hard working people home with an another set-back and struggle towards their dreams. I have the intelligence to know that there would be no purpose in threatening to sue you however I do expect that you will receive a lawsuit* from American Idol if your crude attempt succeeds and the worst singers (no name dropping necessary) make it to the finale and/or win. Obviously you realize as we all now it plays a part in your motive for sabotage that American Idol has done quite well and would indefinitely have the funds to create heartache for each of you who are a part of this conspicuous plot. Not to mention that unlike most successful television shows American Idol is now fighting for another cause. Yes, a very good cause helping thousands of people who have nothing. What good have you done to deserve any type of support, appreciation or mere publicity. Let me conclude that the derogatory actions you have made have not only sent undeserving talent home but you have successfully sabotaged and transformed the people in which you are routing for into the next Vanilla Ice public stereotype. I am sure they really appreciate the public humiliation you will have caused them to endure for the next several years. So from the people who actually enjoy watching super stars being born before their eyes. I ask that you please stop the unjust cause in which you are blindly following.
-Mandy

I think, if you haven't already, mention on the site that contestants are given chocolate in the green room before performances to hype them up and producers tell them over and over they are great singers even if they aren't and tell them they are going to win over and over even when it's obvious they'll lose, just so it's even more of a letdown when the judges criticize them, and therefore America can witness these poor hopefuls break down. Jillian Barberie mentioned this on Good Day L.A., and it's sick and pathetic how many people watch this show and actually think it's real. The television show is based on humilating people, and people still blindly support it because of the hype surrounding it. American Idol is sick, disgusting, repulsive, and a waste of everyone's time. DOWN WITH AMERICAN IDOL.
-AJ

THIS WEBSITE IS SO STUPID! YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS GOING TO SOLVE ALL YOUR LITTLE 'PROBLEMS' YOU HAVE WITH THE WAY THE SHOW IS RUN? OF COURSE ITS A LITTLE FIXED!!! WHAT SHOW ISNT?!?!? I HATE YOU GUYS AND I HATE YOUR WEBSITE! SHUT IT DOWN NOW!!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ALL OF AMERICA? PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT THE GOOD SINGERS TO WIN!!!! NOT HORRIBLE SINGERS LIKE SANJAYA!!!!! WTF DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?? YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO ALL OF AMERICA! I HATE YOU
-Rachel

Sir, I'm going to sue you. Not because I hate you, but because I worship the ground you walk on. Thank you for bringing it to everybodies attention how idiotic and stupid American Idol is. It's amazing that people can get so wrapped up in something that doesn't effect them. Sadly, I can not vote for Sanjaya, as I'm in Canada. I would though. I would. Keep on truckin' and keep making fun of these lame asses who are e-mailing in!
-Jakob

I was going to kill myself today, but then I discovered your website. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
