Looks like Idol isn't the magic formula after all. While one former Idol at least got something at the Grammies (Carrie Underwood won Best Female Country Vocal Performance, and songwriters for Farmbot and Boomie won in 2 other categories), the other Idols left empty-handed. Major tool Daughtry rightfully lost in all categories except for Worst Performance by a Tool with an Idiotic Tattoo (he almost lost to Blake Lewis), while Mantasia, Kelly Clarkson, and homophobe Mandisa also took home nothing. Don't be sad, kids. You can still come back to sing Idol Gives Head 2.0 since you'll likely be forced to anyway. And we just had to post this funny picture of John Mayer and Daughtry at the finale, courtesy of MJ's Big Blog. Leave us a comment and write a caption!

As American Idol 4 started up, VFTW realized we were in for some big fun. In the semi-final rounds, we picked Constantine Maroulis and Janay Castine as our VFTW candidates. Constantine was the worst kind of faux rocker, he was less convincing as a rocker than even Ryan Seacrest would be. Janay was nicknamed Janaybot by VFTW for her robotic arm movements. They both offered up some truly awful moments, especially when Janay decided to tackle "Hit Em Up Style". Janay advanced for 3 weeks before being sent packing, all the while Idol fans wondered how the hell she stayed in so long. Constantine sucked his way into the finals.
