When the three took the stage at the end of the results show to save Jessica, Randy grabbed the microphone and gave America a stern talking to, letting us know that Jessica Sanchez is the best singer in the history of the universe and that if we don't vote for her, the terrorists win.

But as I pointed out, the judges have been doling out so much praise to every single contestant that it's hard to tell when their comments should be taken seriously. The three judges are all so generic in their praise and terrified of getting booed that it's time for the producers to declare this trio a failure and start the search for some new judges.

I can live with Jennifer Lopez's mindless adoration of everyone (I think the producers are spiking her Coca Cola cup with the same drugs Paula Adbul was on). And I'm OK with Randy Jackson being the Screech of American Idol (sticking around long after everyone else has left, going from entertaining to just kind of sad). But Steven Tyler has got to go.
