No one was saved

Are you kidding me?

For starters, I was totally unaware that "American Idol" was still on the air when it started its most recent season. I figured Simon Cowell would have decided he didn't need to degrade himself for insane amounts of money after becoming a multi-millionaire doing the first few seasons of "Idol" and countless talent-related reality competitions across the pond... that, or the possibility of Paula Abdul being committed or Randy Jackson rejoining the re-formed Journey. Any of these would be good reasons why the show would not continue... aside from the utter horror of Amateur Hour.

But anywho, now the controversy "Idol" has brought upon America — not a sex scandal or lip syncing — is over whether or not one of the contestants "stole" the "arrangement" for his rendition of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" from some band no one has ever heard over that covered the song some time ago.

Judge for yourself:
