You know, I was wondering what people thought of
Vote for the Worst At first, I liked the site becaues it seems to counter Simon's critiques and balance all the bad and unworthy singers (usually pubescent white boys) that America likes. There are LOTS of crappy singers that keep on getting voted through because they appeal to people's sentimentality, not their ears and VFTW counters that.
They also made the observation that the majority of people who vote are not from the east and west coasts and are from rural areas. This really made me look at voting in a different way and see why some people were more popular than others despite vocal ability.
But, then I saw the site gloat about helping to kick Alexandrea off. She was one of the best singers IMHO and could have gone far in the show. It kind of reminded me when Tamyra Gray, the 1st season contestant who was in another league with her costars got sent home. I think people stopped voting for her because they assumed she was going to win.
Anyhow, there was just something spiteful about that comment so now I'm voting solo again and see the hatemail for the site a little differently.
My favorite guys are Chikeze -- the guy can sing, he has a beautiful voice and reminds me of Luther Vandross. I think Simon doesn't get him because Simon doesn't come from an American musical background, let alone have much familiarity with R&B. I also like that Chikeze gets antagonistic right back to Simon in a real way and even clowns him! If he ever apologizes for anything he says to Simon, I'lls top voting for him. I hate how all the kids look like deer in headlights and take everything Simon has to say to heart, like he's automatically correct just because he's mean.
I also like Danny. I mean, C'MON, what's not to love. He's SuperSayan Sanjaya! I loved Sanjaya too. These guys were not untalented or bad singers, they were just quirky. They had PERSONALITY! Hahahah. Danny reminds me of a insouciant club kid. He's where the parties at y'all! Hahaha. And I swear sometimes he looks like a really pretty bio-girl.
I don't know why everyone loves David Archuleta. He doesn't sound that graet to me. An older woman told me though the he's like an angel -- and that's exactly why America keeps voting for him!
Every season there are 1 or 2 mediocre to poor singers who keep on getting voted because they are "America's sweethearts". See, I'm not really a girl next door myself and America's sweethearts are kind of my mortal enemies.
