Fox Execs FINALLY Catching on that Idol Needs Some Retooling
Looks like the Fox executives are finally figuring out that Idol's formula is as stale as Carlyplant's career. The New York Post says that the big wigs at Fox are sending around online surveys to ask what people would think about certain changes, such as skipping auditions and going right to Hollywood, seeing the auditions only as flashbacks (YES! Do this). They also want to know if we want more or less judge banter (less) and more or less Seacrest (less). Here are VFTW's suggestions for guaranteed ratings improval, since we all know VFTW knows all:
1) Listen to Professor Chan's suggestions in his latest blog. No one likes an hour of results. No one likes 5 weeks of auditions. And Randy is useless. Get rid of him. Get rid of Paula unelss she's going to be loopier too. Get Paula really drunk before the show.
2) We can't stress this enough. No one likes to watch so many weeks of auditions. The bad singing is only funny if we can vote for the person. We don't care to know that many people that won't make it far.
3) Bring back the suck. This year's group has been so mediocre that everyone is calling it the "worst top 12 ever." That's right, Idol. All of your lame repetition that tried to get people to think this was the most talented group of contestants has failed. Next year, give us more Sanjayas and more over-the-top personalities. No one cares about Syesha Mercado.
4) Above all, let VFTW control the votes. We know how to keep the show entertaining. You don't. Give it up. ;)

I heard about your website and my curiosity got the better of me. After I read some of what was written, I'm sorry I wasted my time. Obviously, those that "vote for the worst" are kids who don't know any better and who don't have anything else to do. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. It must be a power thing or something. You must be missing something in your life that makes you do these cruel things. The funny thing is that those who do not win Idol are having better careers than those who win. So, you've really failed. Ha ha. The joke is on you. Grow up. Get a life!

Want to hear snippets of all of the songs from Phil's album before you head out to buy it? Well, you're in luck. Check it out here. So far, we're impressed!
Carly Hennessy Smithson is no more. Cue “The Parting Glass.” (Seriously, it should’ve been her sing-out song; can you imagine how awesome that would’ve been?! "All the money that ever I had, I spent it in good company, and all the harm I've ever done, alas it was to none but me!") Slán leat, Carly. Slán leat.
Since Day One of Smithson’s Idol journey, I wanted so badly for her to step on stage, ditch the diva ballads, and break into some friggin’ Bono, man. I mean, come on... girl, you’re from Ireland! You should’ve represented! Eire pumps out phenomenal music. Pay a little homage to your homeland, you know?

If you're sad that Carly's gone... well you must be Carly, because no one else is upset.

Random Idol Thoughts.
-- Two days later and it is STILL funny. I was convinced that Syesha was going home. I stood up and cheered when The Plant bit the dust. That was awesome.
-- Every time a favorite goes home early and someone stays after a terrible performance, it just validates everything we stand for at VFTW. If this show was really about giving the best performance week after week then Brooke or Jason goes home, no questions. Plantson gave one of her best performances Tuesday, so naturally she goes home.
