If you're the one person out there awaiting season 9's Andrew Garcia to release some music, you're in luck. Andrew sings with a shirtless (and not at all thug looking) Lil' Romeo on a cover of Diddy's Coming Home. At least Andrew understands the only time people may even want to listen to him is when he does acoustic covers of other people's music. Unfortunately, that's not going to make him any money. Also, this song is pretty crappy. So let's see: Andrew makes videos on YouTube, goes on Idol, and then goes back to making videos for YouTube. Idol sure was worth it, huh?
Tim Urban is safe once again. Brilliantly, he sang decently on the week 2 fodderific contestants would go home. And next week's theme seems to play into his wheelhouse even more: inspirational songs. Is this our season or what?
All we can say is we have completely saved Tim all by ourselves and not a single person has helped us. This is a gigantic VFTW victory because clearly Tim was going to go home and we pulled off a miracle! WOW!
(Don't take yourselves so seriously, haters. Learn to have fun and laugh at this stupid show.)
Timmy will hold a press conference following tonight's episode to talk about what it's been like to be the VFTW pick for a long running 9 weeks. That is amazing. We're doing this, people. Let's take Timmy all the way to the top 2, because honestly we've never seen a run like this before. Can we accomplish the Timpossible? Keep smiling, Tim, you're our guy.
Also, did you see the Kara's bitch face when Tim was declated safe? Hilarious!

Andrew Garcia, Lee DeWyze, and Alex Lambert took to YouTube to thanks their fans for voting for them. Only problem? The contestants aren't allowed to do this. Idol took down the video pronto, but someone saved it. Looks like Andrew (the ringleader of the video) is not really what Idol expected: he sucks every week during his performances and now he's breaking rules to get more support. Who knew the guy who everyone thought would win a few weeks ago would be breaking rules to try to save himself? (Story via MJ's Big Blog)
The American Idol contestants are allowed to use Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace this year as Idol finally comes into the 21st century and embraces social networking. Of course, the results are homogonized and bland due to Idol's tight grasp. VFTW reader Mikey sent us an interesting e-mail comparing the times that the various contestants post on their Twitter. For example, on February 18th, all of the contestants posted between 6:48 PM and 7:11 PM. The pattern continues each day. All of the contestants post within the same half hour window. This tells us that the contestants are either forced to tweet at the same time each day, or more likely, a production assistant or someone is required to update the contestant Twitters with random stuff. How non interesting.
TheTVAddict.com also anaylzed the contestants' social media to see who is the most popular. Not surprisingly, Andrew Garcia is in the #1 spot. Rounding out the top 5 are John Park, Tyler Grady, Tim Urban, and Aaron Kelly. The least friended contestant is Michelle Delamor, so we'll probably be saying goodbye to her on Thursday. These stats only take into account Idol fans that use social media, but it's probably a good thing to take into account.
