Awesome (and robbed) American Idol season 6 semifinalist Leslie Hunt is set to release her new album, See Jane Dance, in October. As a preview, she put up some new tracks on her MySpace for your listening pleasure. Keep your ears open for her new album, the girl's got some major talent and we expect it to be great! You can also check her out next week in Chicago at Silvie's Lounge on August 27 or Celetastity in Aurora, IL on August 30.

This Wednesday, we are lucky enough to have American Idol season 6 contestant Leslie Hunt joining us on the Vote for the Worst Radio Show. Make sure to tune in to hear about Leslie's time on the show, what she's been doing since, and why she decided to scat (even though America doesn't care for jazz). Leslie has said that us Worsters seem like her kind of people, so we know it'll be a great interview. So check back at 9 PM central on Wednesday to hear Leslie live, and you can call in during the show at (646) 716-9362 to ask Leslie your questions. We'll also be playing some of her original music, and you don't want to miss that. Check back here an hour before the show for a "listen live" link.

Leslie Hunt from American Idol 6 will be the next guest on our radio show this coming Wednesday. She's incredibly excited about doing the show, so we thought we'd return the favor by helping to promote a cause that she's currently involved with. Leslie is taking part in the Lupus Foundation of America walk this Sunday, and her team is raising funds. Her fundraising goal is $250, and right now it's at $25. So let's spread some Worster love and help raise some money for a good cause. You can donate here. If we can even do better than her goal, so be it! I'm sure everyone involved would appreciate your kind donations. And make sure to tune in next Wednesday to hear all about Leslie's time on Idol and what she's been doing since.

EDITED TO ADD: VFTW Victory! We've reached $250 in less than 24 hours. But please, keep donating and let's see how much we can raise. This is a great cause.

American Idol 6 was the weirdest season yet, mostly because it was so boring. But some performances stood out as VFTW classics. Here is the list that was compiled by VFTW members that highlights our 10 favorite performances of the year. Some were great for their bad singing, some were great for their eccentricities, and some were great for one word only: Sanjaya.

10. Cheek to Cheek - Sanjaya Malakar
The favorite VFTW contestant of the year made a splash with his big band night performance when he came out dressed in an all white suit and slicked back hair. Afterwards, Simon mockingly called the performance "brilliant," to which Sanjaya shouted, "Welcome to the Universe of Sanjaya!" We loved it!

For those of you who haven't been keeping up and want to skip the episode tomorrow, here's the list of the top 24 that IdolForums has spoiled. Don't read on if you don't want to know.
