The great Alicia Keys must be pulling her weave in disgust over that performance. Nicole Scherzinger’s most interesting verbatim of the season: “You’re not the best singer, but I believe you, you believe, we all believe that I believe what you believe is possible to believe” (or something like that…).

Paula Abdul loves Chris, loves everything about him and embraces him, claiming he is inspirational and deserves a place in the finals. Simon Cowell said Chris delivered big time. What? Oh, I see. This is Simon’s master plan to kick Marcus Canty off the competition for once and for all. L.A. Reid babbled something about “lovability.”
