Finally, someone recognizes the real star of American Idol season 8. USA Today's Pop Candy gave Nick Mitchell's alter ego Normund Gentle the #97 spot on the Top 100 People of 2009 list. Fitting and well deserved. Congrats, Normund!
Picture from Kristen McNamara's Facebook. Now this would have been an awesome top 3 this past year. Loving it. Idol voters never get it right!
And now for a random update. In a world full of Idol primadonnas, it's nice to see that one of VFTW's favorites gets Twittered because he's a nice guy. Looks like Nick Mitchell is a big tipper when he goes to Cold Stone.

VFTW contestant Alex Wagner-Trugman wanders the Third Street Promenade with an MTV film crew to see if anyone remembers him from his stint on Idol. Alex also mentions in the article that he's taking comedy lessons after the recommendation of Nick Mitchell. Perfect! We love this guy, too funny.
