Jennifer Hudson, known to Worsters affectionately as Boomquisha or Boomie, just won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Jennifer was actually the first ever VFTW pick due to her crazy outfits and over the top singing. Soon after, Boomie became way too good to be VFTW and rose in the ranks. And voila... she wins a Golden Globe. Big things happen for VFTW picks.

In other news, that bitch Whatevia STILL ain't impressed.

Welcome Back Class!

And so American Idol 2007 begins in Earnest... with 100 hours of bad singing. I will be there for all the hits and misses, and more misses of Bad Singing Month.

Six months ago Vote For the Worst helped crown a new American Idol winner.

Pop Quiz: Name last year's winner. I've already forgotten-- Oh, right that gray-haired dude. What was his name again? Taylor Hicks - You're Trivial Pursuit Question #100,876. Way to go dude.

Did anyone else notice that the day after Katharine McPhee lost she dropped like 40 pounds in order to become a pop star? Way to improve the body image for young girls across this nation, American Idol. Good Job! That can't be healthy for anybody, let alone someone recovering from an eating disorder. I can only wonder what would've happend if Mandisa won. Even Ruben dropped 150 pounds to become a "huggable Teddy Bear of Love." All I can say is I'm enjoying my anonymously flabby existence.

As we embark on the craptastic journey that will become American Idol 6, let us not forget our VFTW past. A lovely reader has sent us a picture of Constantine Maroulis doing a pose for the camera, with a woman next to him sporting a Votefortheworst.com baseball cap. Does Constantine actually like VFTW? Nope, apparently he was just too self-absorbed to notice the hat.

The typical compliment to a great singer in this day and age is, "You should go on American Idol!" We all have friends that can sing circles around Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry, and many of them may have tried out to be on the most popular show in the country. Most of these great singers don't make it anywhere near Simon, Paula, and Randy.

Votefortheworst.com was started in 2004 to support voting for the entertaining contestants who the producers would hate to see win on American Idol. We vote en masse for the contestant that we feel provides the most entertaining performances that go against what the producers want in a winner and that annoy the viewing public. We don't necessarily vote for the worst technical singer; we take into account many factors like the contestant's personality, how well they dance and move around the stage, if they talk back to the judges or have an attitude, and how likely they are to annoy everyone when they stick around. We vote for the most entertaining contestant using our own criteria, but bad vocals are usually standard. Why do we do it? And are we ruining American Idol and crushing dreams?

We've got about a month before the madness starts again, and the rumors are rolling in about who made it to the top 40 this year. There are two people you may be shocked to see again from last year's show. The first is Gina Glocksen, the dental assistant who rocks out at night in the band Catfight. Also returning and rumored to make it far is Brokenote cowboy Matthew Buckstein. There are also 2 other people that we've found so far that really have us excited at the possibility that they may be the next great VFTW pick:
