i TOTALLY disagree with your blog. what other reason other than the east indian cheapy call centers could account for this travesty. PLEASE!!!! American Idol needs to revise their voting methods. But more importantly, let this be a valuable lesson to the small time investor who decides to go heavy in Asia and overseas markets, the hedgies and heavy market players in Japan make our US shorties look like pussy cats. Will everyone just stop panicking for one moment and realize who really runs the dollar amounts?

I have been watching IDOL since the beginning and this is one of the most frustrating and disgusting "pranks" of the American people.
I hope the "powers that be" will change their policy and only permit one vote per phone line.
We must give talented young people their fair chance and not be permited to vote as a lark.
Like Simon says: "This is a singing show. " not a show to vote for the worst performer.

It's a shame to see such a great show go down the tubes because of this.

A Serious Senior.

this a horrible thing to do people watch this show in the beggening for laughter then people want to see the good singers not the bad and unfair to the other contestants who are really better than sanjaya

What a terrible thing to do to the people that really are trying and deserve to win this show. My daughter is a singer and she works REALLY hard to be the best singer she can be. What a shame to dimish the chances of some of these gifted singers to support someone classed as the Worst. Let the show be what it is a singing competition. VOTE FOR THE BEST AMERICA !!!!!!!

"Vote For the Worst" might think they're accomplishing something. But really, all they are doing is making this whole experience painful for the kids who need to go home and KNOW it. I feel sorry for Sanjia(sp). I believe he knows that he should not be winning a spot each week --- did you see how low he hung his head last night as the audience booed. Why subject a young person who just wanted to have a fun experience to this kind of cruelty for the sake of sticking it to the AI producers. Not right. And why would anyone want to ruin this show? It's one of the 'nicest' programs we have on our trashy tvs.

Its such a shame that a web site such as VOTE FOR THE WORST exsists....This is a serious compitition and it changes lives....Things like this is what ruins a good show for the rest of the world, American Idol is going to have to do something, I just hope it doesnt end the show for good!

VoteForTheWorst is everywhere. Embrace us!

Come on people the show, whether it pockets big financial gains for corporate investors or not is just entertainment...it's TV...if you don't like it don't watch it...if you disagree with the way they run it write to them...if you don't want some no-talent wannabe to win vote for your choice until your fingers bleed.

I see people saying that what VFTW is cruelty, i think cruelty is what AI producers do to the poor people on the auditions just for the sake of rating...

At the end VFTW only makes AI rating go up and up, ruin the show? nahhh, probably VFTW is runned by AI producers, makes sense to me...

I think he is not the worst but not the best also.. I think if he still in the game he is better then the one who is out

I love what Votefortheworst is doing. American Idol is a glorified Karaoke contest. Anyone with true talent will make a living for themselves without this show. I hope what VFTW is doing kills this show!

I think voting for the worst is great, it gives an opportunity for those of us that are NOT entertained by the show, to have something to be entertained about it. Plus it's great to see the reaction on people's faces when the unexpected occurs. Is it evil? Maybe.... Is it entertaining? Without a doubt.

I LOVE IT, WORKED FOR FOX, AND THEY DONT EVEN USE THE VOTE SYSTEM, READ THE DISCLAIMER AT THE END OF THE SHOW, ITS SAYS THAT 'AT THE PRODUCERS DISCRETIONS THE VOTE WILL BE TALLYED'. SO THEY [FOX] CONTROLL EVERY OUTCOME OF EACH SHOW , SO IF YOU WANT TO GET MAD THEN YOU SHOULD BE PISSED AT FOX FOR THEM LEADING YOU ON.

AS A EX EMPLOYEE OF FOX , I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS VFTW IS WHAT THE PRODUCERS WANT, YOU SEE AMERICA DOES NOT REALLY VOTE FOR THE IDOL ,IF YOU READ THE DISCLAIMER AT END OF THE SHOW IT SAYS THE VOTES WILL BE TALLYED AT THE PRODUCERS DISCRETION.THEY NEVER GIVE A TOTAL FOR THE VOTES ,BECOUSE THERE NOT COUNTING THEM .ITS A TV SCAM THATS MAKEING FOOLS OUT OF THE TRUE IDOL FANS.SO FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR SELF AND NOT SANJIA.

I think "Vote for the Worst" is a clever idea. An earlier poster pointed out that people want to see the terrible singers in the beginning, but they want to see the great singers at the end. That is a double standard. If you don't enjoy seeing people humiliated when there are only 12 contestants left, then you shouldn't enjoy seeing them humiliated in their auditions either. I don't know that the site has enough clout to get Sanjaya into the top 10, but I would love to see it. American Idol is just like any other reality television show: it's all about the money. Calling this a true competition is naive.

Vote for the worst! Lets show these snobby little runts that the world does not revolve around them!

I just heard about this,I guess nothing should shock us any more.I'm just saddened and discusted that people would do this, shame on you. You must be very bored with your own life and jelious that this program wasn't your idea.Of course this is a money thing what isn't.If you don't like it don't watch it,Its that simple.Just quite trying to ruin it for those of us who do like to watch.So America keep voting for the best!! Lou

ha. heheh. I would never spend the 50 cents or whatever it costs to pay for this reality tv show in the first place - but if i ever did, i'd certainly Vote For The Worst.

Derailing popular culture is one of the few wholesome acts left to us on this cesspool of a planet.

Hollywood is NOT reality. Reality TV is NOT reality. Hell, the INTERNET is NOT REALITY.

or rather - these are not things we should be wasting precious moments over.. life is way too short to take egofest bs like this so seriously. More power to the folks who are Voting the Worst. i doubt it will amount to anything, in the end, but perhaps it will send a small message to the Powers that Be that not all of us are mindless consumers waiting with bated breath to be told which celeb to obsess over next, how to think like Oprah, or what watered down unimaginative spiritually-dead Pop Radio song should be our next "favorite". Popular American Culture is depressingly void of any kind of real value or purpose. But hey, at least getting drunk is legal and we have the Playboy Channel eh? oh joys.

lol american idol. It's a good thing the sun is going to burn out in a few trillion years or whatever, and that we're too lazy and nearsighted to look into space colonization because the human race is a waste of 3d space.

"Vote For The Worst" is growing and growing! We will reveal what a sham this stupid, crappy show really is. "American Idol" is an affront to fans of actual music. When Sanjaya is crowned as the new American Idol, with the balloons falling and Ryan grinning, the biggest victor will be the art of music.

VFTW! I loveee it! Keep Sunjaya in AI!! If he wins, it will be the greatest testament of democracy!
I especially like the opportunity to see his HOT sister, so keep Sunjaya around!
PLease!
