I wonder if the back-up singers on American Idol ever think, "Why am I singing backup for this no-talent teen twerp?"

Seriously, those back-up singers are amazing and they are supporting some sub-par talent this year.  I have to say, I feel bad that they are stuck oohing and aahing behind a karaoke act I am happy for them because they are employed in an industry that they love.  Is there a number where I can text a vote for them?
