Name: Juanita Barber
Season: 2
Worst Performance: 'What About the Children'
Why We Loved Her (But Everyone Else Hated Her): Many people are upset about VFTW pick Tim Urban's survival this year since he wasn't even supposed to be in the top 24. But there's one contestant whose semifinal spot was also handed to them at the last minute that went on to help inspire a movement called Vote for the Worst. That contestant is Juanita Barber. And here is her story.

Name: Nick Mitchell
Season: 8
Worst Performance: 'And I Am Telling You'
Why We Loved Him (But Everyone Else Hated Him): Nick Mitchell auditioned for American Idol with one thought in mind: to be funny. He had no intention of making it to the top 36. He even auditioned as a character he created, Normund Gentle. When Normund and Nick got a ticket to Hollywood, VFTW cheered. But we figured the guy was obvious cannon fodder for group rounds in Hollywood and didn't put much stock into him at first.

AOL Television and Vote for the Worst bring you the 10 Worst Semifinalists in American Idol history. Other people may have hated them, but Vote for the Worst loves these misunderstood geniuses for the entertainment value they brought to American Idol. So their "worst" is our "best", and we're gonna tell you why.

Check out #3: Bobby Bennett at AOL Television today. We didn't get to see much of Bobby before this daring performance. But anyone who is willing to bust out "Copacabana" as their one and only Idol performance gets mad praise from us. Instead of being boring fodder, Bobby went out with a bang, and that's why we love him. Rarely has an Idol's song choice made us love them as much as Bobby.

We'll be switching back and forth to get the entire list of 10 up. Our pick for #2 will be posted on Thursday.

Check out #4: Antonella Barba at AOL Television today. Antonella became VFTW's porcelain princess when increasingly revealing photos popped up every day for about a week. Mix that in with shaky vocals and a fake porn scandal, and Antonella became a classic pick that caused plenty of controversy.

We'll be switching back and forth over the next 2 weeks to get the entire list of 10 up. Their pick at #3 will be posted on Tuesday.
