Since tomorrow night is another performance show I was Googling around for some more statistics on the current contestants since I'm a geeky numbers guy. I found the ultimate American Idol numbers site at WhatNotToSing.com. It looks like it has been around a while, but since I have never really watched much Idol before, it is new to me! They have compiled data on every performance from Season 1 to the present and tracked how highly they have all been rated on the many different polls, blogs and Idol review sites they can find. The results are quite interesting. One thing I have found interesting is that they have listed the top 40 best and worst rated performances of all time, and two of the best rated 40 and four of the worst rated 40 are already from Season 9, and they have only up to 5 performances rated for each of the current season contestants. So after only 5 weeks Season 9 already has 10% of the worst rated performances (from 4 different performers, Tim Urban, Haeley Vaughn, Paige Mills and Lacey Brown), and 5% of the top rated performances (both by Crystal Bowersox.) Interestingly, of the four contestants who rated so poorly only one remains -- the VotefortheWorst.com favorite himself, Tim Urban. He sure is a resilient fellow, and I am curious to see what he does this week. It is truly startling to imagine he will be going on tour this summer with the rest of the Idol contestants.
