Is an American Idol website saving Kevin?

our ai logoI had originally thought that Kevin Covais had made a pact with the devil and that's how he made it to the Final 12. But a reader thinks it might be this website, Vote For The Worst.com. Apparently, this website has been around for a couple of AI seasons, but I've never heard of it before. (Just call me Kellie Pickler...tee hee.) This site's goal is to rally the troops and push through the crappier contestants. Why? To teach AI producers a lesson. They feel producers put some people on (i.e. Kevin) just for the purpose of getting viewers, and that when the time is right, America will vote them off. VFTW.com says, "hey, let's keep these poor bastards around for a wee bit longer." Their best of the worst picks this year are Kellie Pickler and Kevin.

Their problem with Kellie is not that she can't sing, but that they aren't buying her "caaaa-laaa-maa-ri" act. Read their list of grievances here. The site digs up some dirt on Kellie to prove that she's not as naive as she seems. I don't know. I'm looking at that pic, and anybody who rocks tie-dye in 2003 seems pretty naive to me. The site also claims that her life hasn't been as hard as she lets on. They also point to another contestant, Brenna, who had it much harder. Apparently, Brenna's biological father was killed when she was 12-years-old. Then, she lost her step-father when he (get this) jumped in front of a "careening vehicle" to save an 8-year-old boy. (Read that article here.) Wow, and she never even used it for the sympathy vote. I hated Brenna, but I have a lot of respect for her now. She could have manipulated family tragedy for her own gain, but she didn't.

[Thanks Melissa, & I think that Ace looks like a penis-topped Jared Leto too.]

IN REGARDS TO KEVIN COVAIS: CAN YA SAY "JOHN STEVENS". YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THAT THE PRODUCERS DON'T WANT SOME GEEK IN THERE, JUST SO THAT CLAY AIKEN TYPES STAY TUNED TO THE SHOW. AND HERE'S ANOTHER FLASH, AND DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY FOLKS. I SWEAR THERE HASN'T BEEN A DECENT AFRO-AMERICAN MALE SINGER SINCE RUBEN STUDDARD. GEORGE HUFF WAS FAIR AT BEST, AND GIDDEON WOULD HAVE NEVER GONE ALL THE WAY.

Your article is the FIRST thing I've read that makes sense of the findings of the dialidol.com web site.

http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/Predictions.asp

The site correctly predicted three of the four last contestants to be voted off. (They missed on Ayla, but not by much.) Supposedly, their predictions are based on the number of times phone lines for each contestant were busiest. Here's what I've been confused about - dialidol.com shows Kevin's phonelines were busiest last week with almost 64% of the calls. They show Kevin 10 percentage points higher than the next highest contestant, Taylor "Soulman" Hicks. I found that lucricrious...but your article may be the reason why. Man! Call me disgusted in Ala-Dang-Bama.

Lest not forget Melissa's story too...she had a VERY hard life, yet we don't hear much about it either!

That's the only good explanation for Kellie still being on. She does not belong in the final twelve. I believe they are keeping her on because so many people don't like her and think she's dumb & trashy. Hope she gets the boot soon.

Thank you-- That would explain why Kellie is still on. I sure couldn't think of any other reason that someone with a good voice like Ayla gets voted off and the "very ordinary" singing of Kellie stays on. Of course there's the trashy edge to Kellie that appeals to people like Simon, but really, she just doesn't belong in the final 12. I hope viewers wise up this week and give her the boot.

I'm not so sure VoteForTheWorst is behind it...true they pulled for John the red headed crooner and the horrible Fran Drescher/Babs Streisand (hope you don't take off points for spelling) from last season...but this season they've also voted for Bobby the first week and Brenna for at least one week and it didn't help.
