So last night's completely anticlimactic episode of
American Idol ended with the Battle Of The Davids officially beginning, a development that I was hoping would be derailed at the last minute for the purposes of filling out Fox's DVR-killing one hour and two minute runtime. (Thanks for ruining my recording of

sing a "hip-hop ballad" version of Dan Fogelberg's "Longer" but being denied by the producers; Archie's crazed fanbase is seeing it as more evidence that the powers that be want David Cook to win, but honestly, they probably made the right decision on that front. (Guys, go back and listen to your golden boy say "boo," and count your blessings.) And speaking of hip-hop, how about Fantasia's performance?
