American Idol fans strike back at Howard Stern

Anybody who knows the Stern show knows that Stern started this Sanjaya thing over an argument with Eric the Midget, not to gain publicity.
But Howard has never been one to shy away from publicity, so once the publicity hit, he obviously embraced it.
The media has made a bigger deal about Stern's connection to it than Howard himself has on the show.

Sterns attempt to alter the voting is ridiculous, and just shows what type of weirdo he is. The poor boy can't sing and I really don't think he is cute
either

stern is so old hat, he has had the same format forever now. its getting old. to all howard stern fans---get a life. he is just doing this idol thing just to get attention because he is fading away

I first watched American Idol about half way thru last season. I have not missed a show this season. I have never liked Stern. I think he is TRASH! It blows my mind that anybody would listen to him. What is sad are the people that are being cheated out of the right to further their dreams. It SCARES me that he has that much influence on people.

go howard stern! go Sanjaya!

Howard Stern is just a jealous, washed up, has -been that has been roaming around the earth, because he is mad that he can no longer exposed naked women on his has-been now defunct loser t.v. show, he is pissed off and has gone over the edge because he is very bitter that he has been demoted back to radio. Howard Stern is lucky to still have the listener's that like him only because they are just like him. They are all a bunch of losers, any women that would come on this old man show has no self-esteem and no potential, and im sure that any unknown person that has been invited on his show does not have Hollywood screaming their name, "Do u have an agent?" Howard Stern as old as he is needs to grow up pull the toilet paper out of his behind, and get a life. He reminds me of those dirty old perverted men in a nursing home gasping for attention!!
he thinks by sabotaging Simon Cowell and American
Idol that he is doing something "SMART" when he makes it so obvious that he is "BRUTALLY JEALOUS"
American Idol is not a game show, American Idol is no camparison to the korny show that he had on T.v.
by voting for Sanjaya, is really making it harder not only for the talented singers, but also the credibility of American Idol. People that are listening to Howard Stern need to get a life themseleves, because this is not a game, I hope American Idol changes its format of voting next season, and won't allow america to vote anymore unfortunately i have to say that because there are too many losers being influenced by "THE BIGGEST LOSER." No disrepect to the Good Americans' out there. As the old saying goes "The bad make it bad for the good."

Go Howard!!!! This is hilarious!! Who knew it was so easy to make a big chunk of America cry? I haven't been voting, but I will now. Catch the HStern show on Sirius, it's the best.

howard stern cannot influence anyone to do anything against their will. no intelligent person an be forced to '''vote''' the way this verrrrry ugly old pervert demands, sugests, tells us whatnto do u n l e s s ---- they are below the i.q. of a donkey. c'mon sanjaya is the epitome of what decent teenagers can be - charming, humble. non-combative, takes abuse and segregation, plus unfair''constant'' criticism with dignity, humble innocence, and a genuine smile , that belies his young age by the way '''''he can sing''' not as well as the others but he sings and draws the audiance into his '''charism'' he has stage presence and is one of the very few people that projects ''goodness'' -- HOWARD GIVE IT UP!! PEOPLE ARE VOTING (MAJORITY) BECAUSE ''WE GENUINELY LOVE THIS BOY"" YOUR FOLLOWERS KNOW YOU LACK ALL THESE QUALITIES, AND ARE DRAWN TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE SAME LOW CLASS STATUS,ANDYOU ARE THEIR OUTLET TO VALIDATE THEIR STUPIDITY, UGLINESS, LONELINESS, AND THEIR PERVERSIVE THOUGHTS. YOU GENERATE 1/100TH OF HIS TOTAL VOTES! SURPRISED ??

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Jeezus, I almost think you believe that!

whannn!

"Sterns attempt to alter the voting is ridiculous'" whannnn!!

whannn!!! "It SCARES me that he has that much influence on people."

whann "sabotaging Simon Cowell and American
Idol"

whann "is really making it harder not only for the talented singers, but also the credibility of American Idol"

its a bit idiots. only those that do not understand the show say stuff like you fools. the things said in post 2,3,6 have no clue probably never even hear 5 min of the show. you can tell by the naive and ignorant comments.
"stern is so old hat, he has had the same format forever now" the shows are like never before, uncensored.

"he is mad that he can no longer exposed naked women on his has-been now defunct loser t.v. show"

again its 100% uncensored. you have to pay for it to get it.everything as you hear it is as you see it.

"Howard Stern is lucky to still have the listener's"

sirius had 600,000 before stern, after 5.5 million after. enough said!!!!

"has gone over the edge because he is very bitter that he has been demoted back to radio"

no fool he quit free radio, he had many offers and took sirius.

"m sure that any unknown person that has been invited on his show does not have Hollywood screaming their name"

take $12.95 out over your tight ass and listen its A-list actors and artist all the time.

"He reminds me of those dirty old perverted men in a nursing home gasping for attention!"

no fool its the dirty little whores and freaks that come to him for attention. and the millions of perverted men and women who pay 12.95 month to listen, to break up the boredom of everyday life and get a few laughs.

"by voting for Sanjaya, is really making it harder not only for the talented singers, but also the credibility of American Idol."

now the last part you finally got something right the credibility of a generic star search rip off of a game like idol is exactly the point he trying to prove. not to mention it started out as a joke!!!!!!

I'm usually laughing when Howard does things on his show that affects the results on Important issues, such as local, domestic, racial, or his ongoing battle with the FCC and former networks. I find his opinion refreshing and correct when it comes to many of those matters because they affect everyone. He always says and does the things we all wish we could do and say, and tacky or not, He is usually right on the money.

BUT, in this case I find his support of this performer very misguided. Idol is trying to accomplish something by giving the vocally talented an opportunity to show what they are made of musically. The show has brought to light some very talented people with the exception of last years winner, who i think was boring. Everything he did was exactly the same. Katherine McPhee was far better and chose more difficult songs to show her versatility.

By asking everyone to "Vote For The Worst" is completely unfair to the others in the contest who are working hard, if not harder to make a success of what may be their only chance at somehow getting noticed for their vocal talent. I'm sure that Howard wouldn't enjoy if someone liked Rosie O'Donnell asked all the Ugly or Seriously Overweight Women to bombard him and appear on his shows. No different than what he's asking everyone to do right now. Yes, I know he didn't make anyone do anything, but we all know what kind of influence Howard has so lets recognize that. What I would ask Howard to do is use his influence responsibly and not try to hurt the others chances by unfairly stacking the so called Deck against them by voting for the obviously least talented person on the show.

HOWARD IS AN OLD HAS BEEN, AND HE IS NOT VERY BRIGHT,I THINK HE MAY BE A LITTLE RETARDED.

PLEASE!!!!! WHY DONT AMERICAN IDOL CHANGE THE VOTING PROCESS? IF WE VOTED FOR THE WORST PEOPLE TO BE KICKED OFF INSTEAD OF VOTING FOR OUR FAVORITES TO STAY, NO ONE COULD PINPOINT 1 PERSON AND GANG UP ON THEM LIKE STERN HAS, THINK ABOUT IT,,,IF 4 MILLION PEOPLE ON (VOTE FOR THE WORST.COM) WAS VOTING FOR THE WORST, THATS EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, IT WOULD BE AN END TO THAT WEBSITE BECAUSE THERE WOULD ONLY BE 1 WORST PERSON EVERY WEEK, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PINPOINT 1 PERSON OUT OF THE REMAING CONTESTANTS TO KEEP THEM ON BECAUSE THEIR VOTES WOULD ONLY COUNT AGAINST THE PERSON THEY ARE VOTING ON. WHO REALLY LISTENS TO HOWART STERN ANYWAY? IF XM HAD HIM, I WOULD CANCEL ALL 5 OF MY XM RADIOS WITHIN THE FAMILY AND GIVE UP ON SATELITE RADIO ALL TOGETHER, RATINGS ARE 1 THING, MORALS ARE ANOTHER, I WOULD DEFINATELY PICK MY MORALS OVER A RADIO SHOW ANYDAY.......WHERE IS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HOWARD STERN? ALL OF THE CONTESTANTS THAT WERE VOTED OFF WHILE SANJAYA WAS IN THE BOTTOM 3 WITH THEM SHOULD SUE SIRIUS AND HOWARD STERN IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR INTERFERING WITH THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND LOSS OF MILLIONS IN A POSSIBLE SINGING CAREER, AMERICAN IDOL SHOULD ALSO STAND BEHIND THEIR CONTESTANTS AND FOOT THE ATTORNEY FEES IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT, IT DOES AFFECT FOX , THE SAME WAY IT AFFECTS THE CONTESTANTS, I AM VERY UPSET AT THE FACT,,,,MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY ROBBED OF A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR LIVES DUE TO A PUBLICITY STUNT. LIKE STERN NEEDS ANYMORE MONEY,,,,,GIVE IT UP HOWARD AND LET THE LITTLE GUYS HAVE A CHANCE AT SOMETHING REAL, HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING YOU JUST HELP RIP SOMEONE OUT OF A POSSIBLE SINGING CAREER SO YOU COULD EARN AN EXTRA POINT IN YOUR RATINGS,,,,,,,ANYONE OF YOU THAT HAS SIRIUS SATELITE RADIO NEED TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.....MAKE THEM PAY,,,,YEA I AM TALKING TO YOU,,,CANCELATION.......DO IT ALREADY.

Howard Stern is just a washed up DJ


who is earning more than most people in show biz history. Who else makes 100 million a year?

Unfortunately a few ruin it for everyone. I hope Fox doesn't cancel the show due to this. Maybe they can change the way the votes count like they do with ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" Good singers are being sent home too early while others made the top 10 that should not have. I love American Idol. Thanks!

HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD

Sanjaya will be your next American Idol, enjoy America!!!!!!!!

Reality - Truth:

Fact 1) Stern made in the neighborhood of 150 million last year with his contract with Sirius (including stock options) and In Demand and previous other projects (i.e. Private Parts royalties etc.)

Fact 2) shortly after his startup at Sirius he was offered ANOTHER 5 year 500 million to be added to the back end of his current 5 year 500 million contract and he tunred it down.

Fact 3) as Artie Lange said above - sirius had 600,000 before stern, after 5.5 million after.

Fact 3) His radio show and his related In Demand tv show are both completely uncensored -so it is ALL new and not "old hat".

Fact 4) If the merger goes through with XM he will be adding to the already growing 6 milliom listeners that Sirius has already.

Fact 4) He was ranked as the highest paid celebrity last year by Forbes magazine.

Sound washed up to you? Those of you that are this upset about American Idol being exposed for what it is - get over yourselves and find the humor in life and those of you who just can't except that H.S. is a radio and entertaining jugernaut and living enterainment legend - well, reality can be a bitter pill to some people.

Oh 1 other thing - the more that people talk about Stern negatively or postively the better for him.

Just reading these comments makes me laugh. Howard has a great life, it's you people that really need to find one. The credibility of AI? Give me a break! It's a game show, it's on Fox, it has no credibility!!

The only one who understood the amateur night genre was Chuck Barris when he produced the Gong Show! AI is nothing original, it's an old and tired format that precedes TV and even radio.

Don't fret over talented artists getting voted off. If they truly have talent, someone will be there to sign to a contract. Look at past AI "losers" who have gone on to successful careers.

As for the AI producers, don;t kid yourself, they're loving this! The show was losing its buzz and viewership has been steadily declining. If nothing else thanks to help from Howard and VoteForTheWorst.com the show is showing a renewed interest. Instead of bashing Howard, you should be thanking him.

this is a singing contest...not a hate contest..we have enough hate in the world as it is...its people like howard stern that bring the worst out in people..this american idol is a family show that all can enjoy from home...howard stern is teaching our children how to hate and have people accept it..come on america vote for the best, and dont let anyone persuade you to do what is the wrong thing...wake up america....

Hey Now!!

As slanted as this 24/7 crew is against SATRAD in general and SIRI in particular, is this supposed to be an investing blog??

Go Howard!! The revolution is on!!
