This is really sad. Chris Richardson finally surfaces after fading into obscurity to put out his remix of one of the worst songs of the year, T-Pain's "Can't Believe It". Chris makes it worse by talking about bacon and Sarah Palin. Even more ridiculous? This is almost exactly the same thing Justin Timberlake already did. Though Justin's is legal. Please do something original, Chris.

What are the Idols singing this week and what did the judges say? The show is pretaped this week, so the tweenies at Idolforums reported the singing order and some comments:

Not to say that Blake and Chris Richardson aren't attractive young men, especially after the parade of fuglies that normally make up the guys' half of the Idol cast, but someone is taking it a little too far. We've been cracking up all day reading this fan fiction story about Chris and Blake's first homosexual experience, so we wanted to pass it on to you to laugh at. If you want to get off on it too, I guess that's cool, just pretend that you laughed at it for our sake, ok?

For those of you who haven't been keeping up and want to skip the episode tomorrow, here's the list of the top 24 that IdolForums has spoiled. Don't read on if you don't want to know.
