Once again Adam Lambert layed a diareah TURD on stage with a horrendous performance of "One" by U2? And Once again the judges not old told him his shit does not stink but lobbyed the rest of us to vote for it. Let this Alice Cooper wantabe go offlabel and do a howl show elsewhere....deny him the pleasure of winning or comming in second.
Kris Allen is the David Cook from last season.  The only real guy with outstanding all around talent. Tonights signature performance left the others in the dust.  Literally.  Simon should have given him a standing O for that But Simon is already committed and could not bring himself to it.  Hypicritical self serving Brit.  Simon has lost all common sense and should be fired for lobbying at the end.
You are right in the Gokey is the Taylor Hicks of this seaonson....except the Taylor could actually play and write music...just not as good as Chris.  Gokey's performance was still head and tail about Lambert's.....he hit a home run but even you marginalized it because his the most common of the three.
-Willie

You helped put the "go" in Gokey. I just can't thank you enough! <3
-Julie

Your recent post was disappointing to me. I hope that Kris does go through, he deserves it. I have been praying that he will so hopefully. What happens will happen but its not certain who will win. It's silly to make assumptions especially if you may end up being wrong. So it could go either way. I was very disappointed by your certainty. And using a Bible quote with such obscene words. Not all Christians are like Danny. I'm sure that many people will be offended by your post. Jesus is not there to be made fun of.
-Vanessa

So fess up. Clearly you guys have some sort of superpowers or voodoo magic at work, because from the moment you chose Danny Gokey, he began to morph from an overpimped Taylor Hicks 2.0 into the next coming of Sanjaya. From Dream On to Billie Jean, I am convinced you guys are somehow responsible, and I thought I should thank you for the entertainment.
As a fan of the show, I feel like there's no worst left, but I'm sure you guys will find one all the same. Can't wait to see who you pick. Thanks for all the laughs this season!
p.s. that Bowser picture is the stuff of legends
-Mandi

HI, ITS MARIA, REMEMBER FROM LAST WEEK? YEAH I DONT APPRECIATE YOU GUYS MAKING FUN OF MY SPELLING. I KNOW HOW TO SPELL MORNING, OKAY? SO JSUT STOP. ALSO, I HOLD YOU PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR VOTING OF DANNY. HE WAS A GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN AND HE DESERVED TO WIN. i would seriously appreciate it if you guys just shut down your website. please. not only did some users make fun of me and my heritage, this is also offensive to people on the show thanks in advance dave
-Maria

DANNY GOKEY RULES! YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST JEALOUS OF HIS TALENT!!!! HE IS NOT USING HIS DEAD WIFE FOR VOTES!!!!!!!! PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE DESERVES IT!!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU CALL HIM A DOUCHEBAG AND SAY HE'S USING THE LATE SOPHIA GOKEY FOR VOTES? HE IS NOT!!!!! NO ONE IS THAT INSENSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU JERKS!!!!! VFTW SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO, GO, GOKEY!!!!!
-Bre

You guys should totally vote for Adam. Kris's [SIC] people are mobilizing and already going after Danny's votes. On a Kris [SIC] fan Facebook page someone posted a not so-thinly-veiled comment "Danny's fans won't vote for Adam". Which is true. I think Adam winning would piss off a lot of America. A gay man as America Idol! Gasp! So as far as talent goes sure Kris is the worst. But as far as who'd make the "Worst" Idol, it's Adam for sure.
-Rory

This is just one person's plea to make Kris Allen your pick for the finals. It would be much more fun to upset the apple cart and see the looks on the judges faces when they announce Kris as the winner....again, just one man's opinion. Thanks, keep up the good work!
-Mike

Love your site, loved seeing the Gokster get an early shower. I hope you realize that all his crazy fundie friends will now swing behind Kris, putting Adam in serious jeopardy. That's why I urge you to consider selecting Adam Lambert as your next pick. He's loud, screechy and so batshit entertaining. He needs all the help he can get at this point.
-Steven

I have not watched American Idol until this season, but I have known about your site for a long time. Today I made the mistake of visiting it.
I was under the mistaken impression that VFTW was a simple nonconformist American Idol anti-fansite that liked to screw around with the votes for comedic effect. It turns out this is the case, but to a much greater extent and to a much darker cause. Your main goal is not about manipulating the establishment, that is just an added bonus. You obtain pleasure from depriving people of their vote in a private function and then torturing them with bad performers that they rejected as a revenge for some perceived slight the so-called "fantards" have levied against you, presumably being too mainstream and trendy. Your website could be used for good, but instead it is used for evil.
I first suspected this upon reading the news posts on the main page, which are full of latent condescension and smugness. You enjoy accusing contestants about being douchebags (even if deservingly so), but do everything opposite of convincing anyone that you have sufficient character to make these claims. My suspicions were confirmed immediately upon reading your forums, where I stumbled upon the Adam Lambert thread. You see, for the last seven seasons I would sit in my room with the door closed to avoid hearing the show. It was the faint resonance from Adam's singing through my door that compelled me to come out (of my room) and watch the show. I am not an Adam Lambert "fantard", but I appreciate his talent, which is unprecedented for the show. Starting from page 1 of the thread, I instantly saw what type of people post on the forum. The thread progression was so laughably predictable I had difficulty deciding whether to laugh or to cry. By the time I reached the last pages (which did not take very long), I guffawed. You and your site's visitors are nothing more than another version of what you claim to despise. You take hating whatever is the most popular on American Idol to the extreme, making it as trendy as possible by ensorcelling unsuspecting nonconformists into your seemingly transparent bubble and then blasting them within your necrotic echo chamber, the remains from which you raise what I so lovingly dub "Zombie Contrarians". The fact that Adam has become so popular despite his extremely flamboyant and campy career history and his current overt post-modern gothiness has left you resorting to tactics such as calling Adam fat and saying he has no real talent and that it's all a facade created by the judges. You know you cannot nominate him as the worst because that would simply backfire.
You also like beating dead horses, then pumping them full of TruBlood and presenting them as fresh. Danny Gokey is definitely getting sympathy for his wife, but you portray it as if he brings it up every single day. Scott MacIntyre got a sightseeing dog and more time on the show than he deserved, yet in one news post, you talked about how you like his charisma. You cannot have it both ways. Are you Vote For The Worst or Vote For The Underdog? Stormfront posters, mall rats, /b/tards, and Sharon Stone would be embarrassed to visit your website.
Nevertheless, continue building up your army of zombie contrarians. Your interdependent thoughts will sift through the irrelevancy of time as those with true self-worth appreciate the gifts life gives them.

Hello.  I finally decided to email you...after all, you tell all who visit your site that you'd like to hear their opinions, right?  I have a few questions for you, and I would love a response...hopefully an honest, decent response vs. one in which you try to be cruel or dodge the questions in hopes of making some upset or to amuse those who seem to "follow" you.
I must ask...do you really believe Danny Gokey cannot sing, or do you do this to get reactions from people?  I'm guessing it's to get a reaction as he can CLEARLY sing very well, and in no way has he used the passing of his wife to get votes.  If he has heard of this site, I hope he realizes that many do like him, and I hope he sees that many do see his talent and do not want to hurt his dream but rather help him and all who want to do what they do best.
At the end of the day, do you feel good about yourselves?  Honestly, doing what you do...does this make you feel good, and do you feel you are helping people or hurting them?  Are your families proud?  Do you believe in God or believe we are here for a reason?  I'm guessing these are dumb questions as those who care about people and their creator would not do what you are doing, but I would like to know your answer/answers.  How do you sleep at night?  When you die, where is it you think you will go?  Do you have children?  If so, is this how you want them to treat others?  Would you be proud if they ran a site such as this?
Hmmm...freedom of speech...well, yes, that's what we get here in this country.  It's great, but at the same time, while we are free to say what we think, shouldn't we all try to be kind, especially to those who have not wronged us in any way?  What has Danny Gokey or any of these talented people done to you?  Are you so heartless that you think it's funny to hurt others' feelings, and when the same is done to you, are you ok with it?  Were you picked on as children?  If so, I am so sorry, but seriously, why do the same to others and not try to make things better?
Anyway, I guess I just want to understand why some do these things.  This whole site really makes no sense to many, and many aren't bothered by such nonsense...it does bother me a bit though as I don't understand and wish you'd focus on the talent of those in this competition...clearly, most of them are very talented people.  I wish you'd focus on how we can help them.  I want to know where you are coming from, why you do these things, etc.
It's too bad if you can't see that the Amercian Idol contestants are just trying to live their dream.  What is wrong with that?  If you were truly honest, you would admit that most who make it in the top 12 can sing very well.  Danny, Kris and Adam are all GREAT singers...far more talented than most.  Why can't you just be honest and admit that?  Have you ever thought of starting a site that actually gives good, honest advice and asks for people to vote for the deserving contestants...those who deserve to make it through to the next week?  Most can see that you are able to write well and are able to start and maintain a website and radio program as well as get many to them, etc., so why not use your talents to help people and not hurt them?
Thanks for taking the time to read this...sorry for the long email!
-Krissy
