Mail Bag Update 5/21/08
You guys suck!! I mean, this is just downright mean. David Archuleta is the best and I am in complete love with him. He has a strict dad, but Jeff still loves David. I know I do! He always rocks. I think that you guys have a serious problem if all you can do with your time is put people down. P.S. Vote for David cuz he rocks! Not because some stupid site told you! I LUV YOU DAVID AND AM YOUR BIGGEST 13 YEAR OLD FAN. I MADE MY OWN CLOTHING OF YOU! NEVER LOSE HOPE BECAUSE YOU ROCK!

OK, I get that you're gay by the boys you choose to feature. The thing is, your fifteen minutes were up over an hour ago. Move on.
-Rob
Can I just say that you guys are the most pathetic excuse for a website EVER! Wow, since when is David Archuleta the "worst" when over and over the judges called him "the one to beat" and a "prodigy." Do you honestly think that a gay website like this that was obviously created by people with no life is really gonna make a difference when about 53 million people alone vote! Who knows how many more watch the show! How about how David Cook completely butchered Switchfoot's Dare You To Move last week? I don't see anything about that! A friend told me to visit your site because they said it was, and I quote, "Um, well, its interesting?" Well, I dont even think its interesting. I agree that David Archuleta probably shouldn't sing songs about "his boo" but how about leaving the comments about him and his dad to the professionals, huh? There are a lot more interesting topics than that. So, congrats on having a really sucky website! And good luck trying to screw up a number 1 rated television show!
-Maura
David Archuleta is sooooo going to win! im gonna vote for him all night! he is waaaay better than that stupid David Cook, who cant even sing!!!!!! He's only still in the competition because girls think he is cute and DAvid Archuleta is better looking anyway! You guys have made a HUGE mistake saying David Archuleta is not a good singer when he really is!! HE WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Amidst all of the rants with poor spelling comes an email of praise. My friends, co-workers and I would like to express our gratitude for such hilarity during and after Idol each week. I make it my Wednesday duty to go to the site to read the recap by "Dave's False Idols". I'm going to miss the caricatures and most importantly, I'm going to miss Jason "doesn't know how he could have sung 3 songs" Castro. Any way you can get him to take a picture with something that says VFTW for your site like some of the other past contestants? OR, a funny quote section filled with funny quotes from people like Castro?
Anyway, props to your site for providing the hilarity and a reason to keep up with Idol.
-Nik-C
I'm sorry but your site is not true at all. Watch tonight's performance and although I love david cook, david archuleta is much better all 3 rounds went to david archuleta so i think a little vote for the worst cartoon change is in order thank you very much but if your so upset that you haven't had a decent vote for the worst winner in a while then you choose one of the best idols yet so that you could write WE PICKED A WINNER in big letters on your site then thats just low and about david's gasps: maybe he has a medical problem that makes his breaths shorter who cares? and im sure there are plenty of people who close their eyes when they sing its no reason to make fun of people and Davids probabley just shy and takes criticism differently then other people do its no reason to make fun of people don't judge him just because he can sing as well, if not better, then David Cook
-Alyssa
I totally agree with your decision as David A as the worst. After he sang the beetles during the weeks before the top 12, all of the hyper little girls have been gushing over him. I've always hated him. Most of the time when I hear him sing I can't hear a single thing that comes out of his mouth. Thank you for choosing him as the worst. =)
-Melissa
I think that some of the things you post on your site are toally out of line. Let me begin by saying that my issue is not that you hate American Idol. I have no problem with that. Hate on, man.
My issue is that you hate on the contestants. I mean, seriously, is it their fault that they want to be on American Idol? Everybody has dreams, is it really horrible for someone to want to go out and reach them? Now perhaps American Idol is not the best way to do so, and maybe the producers do rig everything. But is that the contestants' fault?
I think it's just rude that you attack people. Let's say for a moment, you're on American Idol. How would you feel if you found out that some people are voting for you because you're the "worst"? Wouldn't that crush you? That's how you make these people feel. You more than likely don't know anything about these people, but they're only human.
I'm guessing you're human too, so why don't you act like it? I've learned since before kindergarden that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. I think it's about time you learned that. Have a heart. Stop this.
P.S. - I'm guessing that most emails you get from thirteen year old girls have to do with how awesome David Archuleta is and how you suck and their going to marry him. Well for the record, I'm a thirteen year old girl. Not all of us are like that.
-Sanjana
I have always loved VFTW, but it seems this year you have sold out and are trying to give American Idol producers exactly what they want. The final performance show last night made it crystal clear that the producers want David Archuleta to win, yet VFTW encourages us to vote for him? Is it not obvious they want Gaspy to win, given all the undeserved praise and over-the-top comments in his favor from the judges? What gives? I watched his performances, and they were nothing close to what was coming out of the judges' mouths. So technically this would make him "the worst," but for whatever reason, this year it seems that American Idol WANTS us to Vote for the Worst. VFTW stated mission is to go against what the AI producers want. The call to vote for David Archuleta (what the producers want) is a clear step AWAY from the spirit of VFTW, and a step towards playing right into the hands of AI's producers. VFTW has sold out, and I'm very disappointed.

I must admit I do love your site, I find it extremely entertaining, however, I was very offended by the picture you posted of the bull fighter and the matador. Using a picture from such an abusive sport is supporting it. The poor bull probably died, you can even see the blood running down its back! When you use pictures, please be a little more considerate of who may be seeing them.
-Julia
Hey Vote For The Worst People, I just wanted to say that I USED to hate your sites but now I come here every day and support it because I now know (thanks to you) that AI is rigged so keep up the good work and just know that you have good loyal fans out here and let's all "Vote for the Worst" BTW you guys are freakin hiliarious.
-Cory
Whats more stupid? The show or the person who hates the show but keeps watching it?
-Jon
I've been on your website just about every Tuesday & Wednesday night of American Idol this year. My name is Lyssa and I'm seventeen years old from a small town in Wisconsin. I am a huge fan of American Idol but unlike some of the mail you get, I actually ENJOY your website. You probably don't get positive messages as much as you should and deserve. I can tell that you not only put a lot of work and effort into your site but you enjoy what you do. I am a huge fan of David Archuleta but I still love your site just as much even though he has now been crowned the worst. I actually think it's good because that way people that follow your site and use it to vote by will vote for him as well so he can beat David Cook. All this season I have thought you were right on with your pics for the worst. I'm actually quite disappointed with myself that I didn't follow the site other seasons because it has made this season all the more entertaining for me to get more than one biased view on the show. I wanted to thank you guys for all the work you put into the site and for giving me an extra more juicy side dose of my favorite show, American Idol.
-Lyssa
I'm just curious, when you call people fantards, do you realize that you're completely hypocritcal? In no way do I mean this to become a bash. But, really...? I don't completely agree with your pick this time around. I'd rather see disapointed fangirls of David Archuleta crying when he loses...You guys won't get any reaction from Cook fans. He'll be like completely okay with it if he loses. However, David Archuleta (Gaspy) will bring on the water works and you'll get to see the pissy reaction of his Dad. I've been lurking the forums for the whole season and I find what you guys say to be funny. But really...you're all fantards. So, can you admit to that...please?
-Matthew
I just wanted to share my feelings about American Idol.
Firstly I am a 61 yr old pretty hip Grandmother who loves music. It was blasphemy that Melinda Doolittle did not win last year. Jordin Sparks who? She is the best singer of the entire American Idol catalogue in my opinion.
I suppose A.I. Is for the younger set however most of my friends watch it. One thing I cannot stand and thank god I have a place to say this is
What's the deal with all the little girlie's standing in front of the stage as if this were some John Lennon love fest???? Waving their arms in the air like they were swatting flies.
It's so ridiculous.
A.I. Was I believe amongst the less talented of all the seasons so far. From the very beginning it was David Archuleta's to lose...I don't like David Cook's style but he is good and did a brilliant job on Billie Jean. Michael Johns should never have been voted off. And god only knows how Jason Castro got on in the first place.
I love Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul just spouts the same comments every week...and Randy is the Dawg!
I also think these kids need to be able to sing all kinds of songs, new, old, jazz, contemporary, whatever...it's interesting to see how they tackle the task. I think the other thing that bugs me is the guest's they have on in the so called "mentoring role"....they are people for the most part who's career's have come and gone and are looking to rejuvenate themselves. Which is ok I guess but it's just so blatant it bugs me. Yes I know they've had Pink on and yucky Carrie Underwood but come on let's see some real talent....John Legend, Alicia Keys, more of Stevie Wonder, let's see Diana Krall. Ok I've said enough. I love Idol.
I just want it to do better.
-Christine
So, when I first heard about you guys, which was way back in season four right around the time Anwar got kicked off. I really didn't like the idea of this website. But eventually realized the site was all in good fun and shouldn't be taken as seriously as as some people do. Just like Idol shouldn't be taken seriously. It's a reality show for Pete's sake. One thing I've noticed though that I love about you guys is that you support Idols you have supported in the past even after Idol. And raising money for lupus (when Leslie Hunt was going to be on your radio show) was awesome. Keep it up please!
-Tom
It's pretty sad for your website when you have to tell the world to vote for the best singer on American Idol.David Archuletta has been the best since the beginning & at least when we were supposed to vote for Sanjaya it made sense,but this right here proves that this year's talent was better than any other year.Why didn't you have people vote for Jason Castro,or that rocker chick with the skunk hair,or someone that could possibly be labeled as "the worst." Instead you pick the absolute BEST? Wow. American Idol may be done within the next 2-3 years in my opinion,but this season will be remembered for being the toughest yet.

Best.E-Mail.Ever
The more borng AI becomes, the more boring the anti-VFTW mail bag gets, it seems. AI's suckiness drains the hilarity out of their hysterical fans.
Wow - that's it for the mailbag? I sort of miss being told how horrible I am for screwing up someone's dream. Oh, well. I know tomorrow's mailbag is going to be a humdinger!
Lyssa - Welcome to VFTW from another cheesehead! It's refreshing to finally see an intelligent teen here. Especially one who can spell, punctuate and structure sentences. You make us proud.. :wipes tear away:
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want a whole mailbag of intelligent teen letters. I would miss being called a cum chummer, sock head, stinky ass rat, monkey clown and then told to go to hell.

But hell points on two mentions of it being a gay website. As one of the few truly gay Worsters I now get points on my gay card for coming here....Woo Hoo.
Re: Nik-C's comment about Jason Castro's anxiety... it's a shame he got nervous and got voted off, he totally could have "remembered" three songs with the handy teleprompter we all saw last night. Great job AI.
ACtuallly archuleta was not that bad last night! He is a cute kid and i wish him the best and i hope his dad falls off a fkn cliff so the kid can have a fighting shot. Was a wonderful year here at VFTW i have turned so manyt ppl onto you guys...
I will make a deal..you send me a few shirts and i will rock them on tour, i am a comic that will be hosting 60 cities in 90 days. W/ country singers Pat GReen, hip hop artists Baby Bash, Paul Wall and Pitbull....get me some shirts and let me talk it up!!! Peace to you guys!!

According to Zabasearch and DialIdol, Cook is the winner. I would so like to watch the Archie fans who have taken the time to send hate mail cry. I wouldn't even get them a tissue, or a bucket , or even play a violin. *evil laugh* I can't wait for the next mail bag, this one is too positive. Instead of thanks for the votes they'll be screeching that VFTW gave Archie the kiss of death. Actually the judges did that with all the Archie pimping. They stirred up the Cook fan base. So unless AI overrides the actual votes the wailing shall be heard soon. :D
