It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that they don't like VFTW, but Danny Gokey and Matt Giraud were asked about our wonderful site by Kim Reed of the Examiner.

Finally before Giraud left I asked if they read reviews or blogs and both said, "not anymore." When asked if they read the funnier Idol related sites like Vote for the Worst or Idletard they briefly squirmed around and Danny changed voices in to a bit of a childish, whiny character and said, "What's Vote for the Worst?"  Matt then chimed in, "no they're mean." I said true but at times they can be funny to which he replied, "not to us!"

Well Danny has plenty to dislike us for, but Matt, really? All we did was make fun of your boil, which you then got removed and now you look better. You should be thanking us. VFTW is the voice of truth. Thanks for the shoutout though, Kim!

After getting rid of the mole, we thought Matt Giraud was on the right track to improve his look. Boy were we wrong. Matt is now sporting a new, incredibly unattractive haircut on the Idol tour. Matt, for the love of God, fix that hair the first chance you get. Or just keep wearing hats. You look ridiculous.

So what do you think of Matt's new do?

Scott MacIntyre wrote a blog that he was set to do a dueling piano performance with Matt Giraud at the finale, but it was cut out of the show. Seriously? That might have actually been interesting. Scott has a fun sense of humor, and even though Matt Giraud never showed it during the show, the other contestants said he was pretty funny too. It probably would have actually been something worth watching. Scott blogged:

"We got to the Nokia Theatre on Wednesday morning (show day) and out of the blue about 9:30am found out the duet had been cut and the decision was final. Needless to say, I was shocked. American Idol had originally invited Billy Joel himself to perform with us, but he was unable to make it in the end; and because our duet was the only duet not involving another celebrity, it was the first thing to be cut when the show was condensed. Over the last few days I have tried to reason this out every way possible, and it makes no sense to me why one of the most compelling and unique performances of the show would be cut simply because the original artist wasn’t present. (Perhaps Tatiana and Bikini Girl were more important after all… :P) There will most likely not be another set of competent pianists on the show anytime soon, and this would have been an opportunity to make American Idol history."

Well wait a minute, Scott. Tatiana is much more important than 99% of the contestants. This is a fact. But I don't think anyone would have cared if Gokey didn't get to sing. No one likes him. Ken Warwick also promised Scott that he will get to come back and perform on a results show next year to make up for it. Ken will likely break this promise because he is a soulless fuckboob.
