Couldn't make that up.

Hohman: Remember, it's coming from a guy who really started off his career in the music industry by focusing on packaging/concept rather than content, like albums of music by WWF wrestlers. He clearly appreciated Kristy Lee's shrewd (and shameless) gambit.

She's also got rock bottom expectations on her side too.

I did not hate KLC's irreverent Beatles covers as much as everyone else, but I agree this was pretty cheap.

Hopefully someone can dupe him into doing Blake Lewis'version of "You Give Love A Bad Name" - beatboxing and all- so we can get Chad Kroeger's little brother off the stage. Comb you're hair and stop painting your fingernails, David.

the scary part is that she actually sang well and everyone ate it up. and she took the country thing so literally that i wouldn't be surprised if we hear that maddening mellencamp "song" from the truck commercials next week.

He finally showed what he can do. Late bloomer but don't count him out.

Obviously, my search technology (or your sense of humor -- Eds.) was not up to the task.

Is it "too late to apologize"???

i can't believe i'm following american idol this closely. i feel so lame.

Anyway, David Archuleta sucks.
