We're teaming with AOL Television to name the 12 worst 'American Idol' semifinalists ever. We'll be posting one finalist each week. Check back next Tuesday for our pick at #7.
AOL Television and Vote for the Worst bring you the 12 Worst Finalists 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 #6: Kevin Covais at AOL Television today. Kevin Covais, dubbed Chicken Little by VFTW (and then stolen by the Idol finalists who clearly read VFTW), was a memorable pick for us back in season 5. After tepid renditions of songs like "Vinthent" and "One Lath Cry" (he had a lithp...), he proceeded to fly through to the top 12 on his fish out of water persona. He thanked VFTW for our support by singing the hilarious "Part Time Lover". The performance sealed his fate as a VFTW favorite but also as a contestant that America hated. He lasted one more week and went home in 11th place.
We'll be switching back and forth to get the entire list of 12 up. Our pick for #7 will be posted next Tuesday.
Who knew VFTW's Chicken Little would actually be in multiple movies? Looks like his career is doing well. Here is the trailer for Kevin Covais's second movie, Labor Pains, which also has acclaimed thespian Lindsay Lohan in it.
Season 5 VFTW pick and soon-to-be B-movie star Kevin "Chicken Little" Covais is reportedly in the hospital. Idol Live reports that singer Gabrielle Howarth posted a MySpace blog that Kevin did not perform at a scheduled event with her because he was taken to the hospital. Rumor has it that the reason for his hospitalization is that he suffered a seizure, and a cyst or tumor was found in his head. Let's hope that's not true and it's something less serious! We'll keep you updated.
As the seventh season of American Idol has ended, Vote for the Worst has compiled a list of the 20 performances that make us actually take the time to watch Idol. These are not the 20 worst performances, nor are they 20 performances with bad singing. They are our 20 favorite, most entertaining performances that really define what VFTW is all about.
