Re: Negreanu has to lighten up about American Idol.

A guy like Sundance for example, who clearly had potential and a big voice was dispatched while Sanjaya remained.

Sundance was the VFTW guy until he was eliminated. Then, they switched to Sanjaya. Clearly, DN has done no actual research on the VFTW phenomenon, and is just going off the news or David Letterman or whatever. If you read the VFTW mail, it sounds a lot like this blog entry.
All this talk about them ruining the show does make me wonder how much real influence VFTW has, at least before they had Stern's support. They couldn't get Sundance or Antonella into the top 12. Sundance clearly had a huge initial fan base, and Antonella was the hottest girl left, which should have provided a good number of votes for each. Yet Haley, Brandon, and a couple others outlasted these guys, even though they also bring nothing to the competition.
