You voted, we counted. Here's the winners of the 2009 Whatevia Awards. (For the original nominees, click here).
1. Favorite Female VFTW Peformance: Megan Joy - Rockin Robin
2. Favorite Male VFTW Performance: Nick Mitchell as Normund Gentle - And I Am Telling You
Back in the saddle after Idol, it's good to see one of our very favorites is performing again. Tatiana Del Toro posted on her MySpace that she will be performing at The Cat Club (located near The Whisky) on August 11 at 8:00 PM. So Worsters, it is your duty if you live in Los Angeles to head on over and see Tatiana live to support her and tell her what a great job she did on Idol. If you're lucky, she may do her awesome laugh for you.
Every year, we auction off the official VFTW caricatures on eBay with all of the money going to the artist, Laura Hawbaker. Laura does an outstanding job creating the artwork for this website and often does these drawings within a few hours' notice to make sure we have something great to put on the site. These are one of a kind items, no other copies exist anywhere, so you will own the only physical copy of these drawings. They come with a ceritificate of authenticity and they make a great gift... or something to just keep for yourself. So bid today on these items. They end Wednesday during Idol's finale, so we'll keep reminding you to bid and own a piece of VFTW history. Enjoy!

Thanks to MJ'S Big Blog for the info. iTunes made a mistake AGAIN and released the sales of the wildcard performers' iTunes tracks. Matt Giraud, Anoop Desai, and Megan Corkrey are way out in front (because Idol's voting and buying audience are frauen, tweens, and crazies), followed by Tranny Alien, Ricky Braddy, Jesse Langseth, Von Smith, and in dead last fabulous Tatiana Del Toro. This certainly bodes well for 3 of the wildcards' survival in this competition. As for Jasmine? No one likes her, even if we have to hear how "commercial" she is every time she farts on stage. The only way we'd like her is if she's the VFTW pick, and even then, she barely has a shot at lasting more than 2 weeks on the show.
Really? You want the racial quota alien tranny in the top 13 over Tatiana? Poor choice. You make an extra slot and you don't give it to our goddess? We'll see your ratings down again this year, possibly finally being beat by Lost. We'll definitely make a pick for the top 13, but Tatiana would have been perfect. We still love you, girl. But seriously. Jasmine? She's terrible! And... oh wait. Terrible? Maybe this will work for us in the future!
Why is everybody in America so jealous of Tatiana's glorious return to American Idol? The hags on The View certainly are as they seem to take great pleasure in slagging sensitive Tatiana, almost as much as Adam Lambert took when he said everyone hates her. But the jealousy is only going to grow when Tatiana makes it into The Finals tonight and America realizes it was done just for VFTW!
Tatiana's here to stay...live with it, jealous haters!
The 3 spots decided tonight were easy as hell to predict- Lil, Scott, and Jorge. But thankfully the wildcard is now hopefully going to get Tatiana in the top 12.
The wildcards selected tonight to sing tomorrow: TATIANA DEL TORO, Von Smith, Jasmine Murray, Ricky Braddy, Megan Corkrey, Matt Giraud, Jesse Langseth, Anoop Desai. Oh God, let's hope Tatiana makes it. She is pure perfection. Perfection. Idol, this is your last chance at getting this right.
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!
