Beotch.<br><br>And I thought Chikezie's performance was very solid, nice, very Luther Vandross. If that syrupy-sweetness, pipsqeauk David Archuleta had trotted out some old R&B crooner, the judges would've drooled on themselves over how awesome it was. Chikezie got a raw deal on the harsh comments from the judges on his final song.

Yep, Ronnie got the hell up out of his chair and even saluted (in a kind of reflex gesture). It was so made-for-TV, but it really came off as incredibly bad TV.

And I think David Archuleta's going to show up for the finale in a Bob Mackie gown, at which time David Cook, reprising his Kurt Cobain version of "Hello," is going to bring his Les Paul down on poor Archie's head.

Really? Isn't that desecration of the flag? Won't Lee be working up a sweat while belting out his signature song and get that flag shirt all nasty and funked up?
