VFTW Hall Of Fame Tournaments, Vote: The All-Time Worst CI Performance Options

[Reality Check]

Well, we now have seen four AI seasons and three CI seasons are in the books. In that time, there have been a lot of really Really REALLY REALLY bad performances. But which one is the all-time worst? Well, now you can decide that.

That's right, the creator of the VFTW movement has created two, yes, two single-elimination tournaments. One for the all-time worst AI performance, and the other for the all-time worst CI performance. They both work in a similar fashion.

The CI tournament features 28 of the worst performances ever.

Below are the 28 entries, their rankings, as well as the schedule of matchups.

Eventually, the CI winner will square off against the AI winner in a battle for North American Supremacy.

Happy voting!

That's kinda low, thanks but no thanks.

[FunkyFrankie]

I'd feel sorry for whoever wins then.

[thesingleone]

That's kinda low, thanks but no thanks.

Agreed.

[Mel_CI]

Not Exactly my thing..

But.... creative

[Bing147]

they have horrible taste in bad performances, lol, some of theirs they picked weren't actually bad...

[Mel_CI]

Layla's not bad

[*Wallace]

A lot of these performances weren't even that bad.

[PenMate]

Shane's "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" wasn't bad...

Well that's the point of the whole tournament, to find out if it's bad or not. But the're starting with performances which can reasonably be considered bad for one reason or another.

If I may, a suggestion: it'll be easier to start with 32 performances and then keep the playoff format since then instead of the tournament.
You'd only need few more performances. My sugestions:
Ashley - Sir Duke
Casey - Like a Prayer
Melissa - Alone and The Who week performance
Rex - Turn the Page

I'm not running the tournament and I think it's too late now, but I'll forward along nonetheless.

Gezz.. you guys just don't get it. Brock Groombridge is a really good singer.

Uh...no he's not. And he's ridiculously fugly too.

[Sexi_Rexi_4eva]

[WRSE]

Uh...no he's not.  And he's ridiculously fugly too.

Clearly you don't look over the surface on this. So he might have sang a bad song in the top 30. And so he might not have the traditional pop voice, but that does not make him a bad thinger.

Thinger? I know people that speak with the Cindy Brady lisp, but I have never heard of someone TYPING with a lisp before.


Even with your bizarre typing lisp, you have failed to make you case. Failed miserably.

[ffej901]

Man, dont' take it so personally. I mean, my personal favorite voice of all three seasons is Casey, but I don't mind some of her performances being on the list - cuz they deserve. "Beauty and the beast" deserves, too.

[bumnummies]

Aww, and I was hoping you RC would be hosting a version here on IDF... aww, toobad.

The ones bolded are the only truely terrible ones. I'm sure I could find a ton more that are much worse.

Shane's I Believe In A Thing Called Love? That was awesome as far as I'm concerned, and as much as I hate Jacob - I'm not about to piss people off and say it was terrible... disturbing yes, terrible.... ehh....

[WRSE]

some people are just stupid. I swear, none of these people know a good voice. And it is even worse when it is put on by VFTW. Yeah, its a fun idea, but if you are going to do it then get it right. Its just like all the rest of that crap on sucks. Its fun to read for a good laugh, but besides that its all BS. I remember when they were doing AI4 VFTW and they were trying to figure out based on non vocal related things such as Scotts weight or Anthonys issues as a kid. And when you pick your worst based on that, you shouldn't even be watching the show from a serious angle.

So.. lets think about a few of these. I don't get the Brock thing at all. A theatre kid decided to a sing a theatre song.. wow thats a shock. I honestly don't see what is so bad about it. Sure its not pop, but he can bring out a great song. Just look at Theresa, not a pop voice, but I can't see how anyone can argue that she doesn't have a great voice.

The only Rex song that should be on that list is his second song for BNL night. And even that in itself shouldn't matter considering that is one of the worst ever Idol themes. And some of these others are just crazy. Jenn, Shane, all worst? I have to say that you guys must not heard things right. Shanes performance of that song might not have been amazing, but I think you guys don't understand how hard of a song something like that is to do correctly. So while it wasn't amazing, it was still great for what it was.

And why we don't see mostly all of Gary, Jacob, and Josh performances on here I have no clue.
