American Idol – Conspiracy Against Kellie Pickler?
You may have heard, there is a web site called “Vote for the Worst” that uses anti-American Idol fans to sway votes. They do this in order to get the best singers thrown off the show. That is one reason why you see excellent singers in the bottom two. With 3740140 hits all ready this season, this site definitely has some pull!
According to this site: “American Idol is not about singing at all, it's about making good reality TV and enjoying the cheesy, guilty pleasure of watching bad singing. We agree that the bad singers are entertaining, and we want to acknowledge this fact by encouraging people to make an even funnier show by helping the amusing antagonists stick around.”
This week they are gunning for Kellie Pickler. Their exact quote is “Vote For Kellie Pickler because North Carolina Wont want her back after this!” By “voting” for Kellie you agree not to vote for her, thus possibly having her eliminated from the competition.
Who’s next? Well VFTW posted this:
American Idol lets many contestants into the top 24 who have no chance to win. These people are placed in the competition for ratings, and when they start to perform poorly, the viewing audience laughs and generally votes them out. But VFTW sees keeping these contestants around as a golden opportunity to make a more amusing show. American Idol producers don't like this though, because they already know who they want to win. They pimp certain contestants from the get-go, and it's usually incredibly obvious who stands a chance of winning (this year it's Chris Daughtry with an outside chance on Taylor or Elliott) and who doesn't (everyone else). We find it boring that the producers have turned this into a 12 week "promote the pre-selected winner" contest, so we want to turn the show on its side to promote someone different.
What do you think? Does VFTW actually have some pull?
