News

There's a wacky article this morning saying that Howard Stern is Fox's first choice to replace Simon Cowell. According to the article...

An insider said that producers of the hit Fox show say Stern, America's highest-paid radio personality, is their top choice to take over from Cowell, who leaves at the end of this season.
They approached Stern after he repeatedly mentioned on-air that his exclusive Sirius XM Radio deal expires next January and he was open to other offers. Cowell was paid $50 million a year.
A source connected to Idol said, Its one of the few shows that could compete with Stern's $100 million-a-year Sirius contract, and Idol bosses think he would be even nastier than Simon.
They know he would be great TV and would clash with the other judges such as Ellen and the contestants. Idol will do what it takes to sign him.

Along with having their voices evaluated, should future contestants now also expect to have their genitals evaluated? Along with being asked about their experience in music, will they also be asked about their experience in anal sex? Howard loves VFTW, and American Idol already is a complete freak show anyway, so we say Go For It!

What comments could you imagine Stern making to past contestants?

After Taylor Swift sucked ass at the Grammys, people were understandably annoyed that she won awards. The head of Taylor's recoed label, Scott Borchetta, attempted to defend her by saying, "This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance." Understandably annoyed, because Taylor Swift is a rat faced bitch who can't sing, Kelly Clarkson shot back at Scott. Awesome. Loving Kelly and her cajones.

Wow …..Dear Scott Borchetta, 
I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’. Thank you for that ‘Captain Obvious’ sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is “I’ll kick butt next time” or “every performance isn’t going to be perfect” ……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay. 
Sincerely, 

One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes.

The lasy audition episode is upon us. Hallelujah! Tonight we get to see the people that Idol couldn't fit into the other episodes because they were too busy showing "bikini boy" and that guy with the feathered hair. Leave a comment here on your thoughts or join us in the play by play thread. Tonight we'll definitely see auditions from probable VFTW pick Aaron Kelly and Chicago singer Lee DeWyze, among others. Let us know what you think.

Danny Gokey's video for "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me (Tarnishing the Memory of Sophia By Saying Life is Better Without Her)" is out. Could he have picked a stupider title that devalues everything he said about his dead wife on Idol? This guy really has no idea what he's doing, huh?

Carly is about to get things going as Amy Lee's replacement in Evanescence and if she thinks VFTW has given her a hard time, wait till she meets the long-time Evanescence fans, like the person who made this video. Hey Carly, you may want to leave your Spanx at home as you may have to run really fast from your concerts.

For Carly fans like these, VFTW has a challenge for you: Get her to sign a copy of the infamous Wall Street Journal article about her. Send us a photo and we'll give you a plate of cookies...unless Carly steals them first. :(
