OMG, I have lost my fire for AI! allowing
"vote for the worst" and Howard Stern's listeners, who hate AI, to vote Sanjaya through each week! If AI wants to bring their loyal viewers back next year, they will need to create a rule to prevent this from happening again! AI was created to be a singing contest...I mean the BEST singer is supposed to win this contest...right? I am trully bummed about this.
You'd think that these people would have covered their asses on this kind of thing because of what Stern did with People magazine's "Most Beautiful Person of the Year" award in 1998 - when they got Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf as the winner.
