Well, this episode proves once again that Lennon and McCartney were brilliant song writers and it's nearly impossible to ruin these songs...  In one week.  We all still have the horrible Season 7, Week 2 of Lennon/McCartney etched into the nightmare regions of our brains, don't we?

Tonight is a good example of everything that is wrong with Idol.  Producers introduce the worthless "backstage cam."  I guess it's supposed to give us an insight into who these people are and give the Idols a chance to rebuke the stupidity of the judges.  But really it just gives these idiots another 30 seconds to blather incoherently about all the fun they're having on-stage.  I can tell you 100% of the fun is on the side of the singers, not the viewers, because the show was once again impossible to sit through.  Idol Producers, how does this backstage cam enrich the Idol viewing experience in any way, shape or form?  This gimmick sucked at the Oscars, and it sucks even worse here.

This is what Idol has fallen to.  A night of Karaoke Klassics sung by the weakest Final 11 yet, while being mentored by a 17 year-old singing Disney automaton.  It's safe to say this night will not go down in the annals of history.

This season is horrible.  There's no getting around it.  The category could be "The Greatest Songs Of All Time" and they'd still manage to find the duds.  Tonight was about horribly over-played songs ruined in all new horrible... and funny ways.  

Since my wife forced me to watch this crap tonight I might as well talk about it.

We start off with a re-enactment of last night's uncomfortable menage a Ryan-N-Simon, but with Kara this time.  Gross.  She's game though, and will be bringing her spiked gauntlets and crotchless pink bunny suit.
