A funny AI article

Absolutely everyone had forecast a big win for silver-haired goofball Taylor Hicks over Katharine McPhee before their final "American Idol" performances last night.

Even judges Mopsy, Flopsy and Tipsy.

Still, the show must go on, as they say.

"It's now or never, baby -- you've got to lay it all on the line tonight!" Mopsy says, pulling out the very best from his bag of five gag-inducing cliches.

Tipsy hopes Taylor and Katharine are "in good voice." Flopsy says he "would suggest the contestants pray the other one forgets the words."

This week, the two finalists are forced to revisit two songs they've already sung during the competition, after which they'd be subjected to traditional made-for-"Idol" treacle tunes created just for them.

Katharine chooses the two songs she'd sung while sitting on the floor of the stage, which were also her best performances.

After "Black Horse and Cherry Tree," Mopsy whines that it was not "super-exciting" because he'd heard it before. Yes, Mopsy, that was the point.

Tipsy urges her to celebrate; Flopsy says the occasion is bigger than the song.

Host Ryan Seacrest reminds viewers they will have "at least four hours to vote."

How long exactly is "at least four hours?" If someone votes 12 hours later, will his vote still be counted? Something smells fishy here.

Taylor sings "Living for the City" and it once again sounds like a weak imitation of Stevie Wonder, only Taylor's wearing a puce velvet jacket, and any guy who has the nerve to wear a puce velvet jacket on national TV deserves our votes.

Mopsy says he made the song his own, which sounds as lame now as the first time he said it, oh so many "Idol" editions ago. Tipsy says she and Taylor match tonight, only she's wearing a skimpy little red, white and blue dress, so we have no idea what she's talking about, as usual.

Flopsy, who like everyone else has seen the numbers from past voting and knows Taylor is going to win, nonetheless begins to lay the groundwork for him to be called the man who picked the next American Idol, saying Taylor won the first round.

Katharine comes back to sing Dorothy's song from "The Wizard of Oz."

Mopsy, who also knows Taylor is going to win, can't think of anything negative to say about Katharine's performance except that she's once again singing a song she's already sung before:

"For me, when I saw you doing the same song again, it was a little anticlimactic," he says. He really is an idiot.

Tipsy says Katharine is possessed of a God-given talent and every father has tears coming down his face as her father does, and every little girl is proud who wants to aspire to be her. Flopsy calls it Katharine's best performance ever and says she's back in the game. Such a liar.

Taylor comes back with "Levon." Mopsy, who, keep in mind, knows Taylor's going to win, does not nick him for singing a song he's already sung before. He does, however, say it's a little "pitchy." Actually, it was off-pitchy.

Tipsy says it may be pitchy but maybe that's who Taylor is. Flopsy says that makes no sense. Tipsy says Flopsy doesn't make sense. Flopsy says Katharine has taken the second round. You see where he's going with this, right? Next round he'll give to Taylor and then forecast a Taylor win because he won two out of three and then, tonight, when Taylor wins, Flopsy will look like a genius.

Taylor appears to be wearing eye shadow that matches his gray suit.

Now the bad part: Taylor and Katharine have to sing songs created for them, which they also will be forced to record and which you are going to buy whether you hate them or not.

Katharine sings "My Destiny." It's possibly the worst made-for-"Idol" treacle tune ever, and that's saying a mouthful. Here comes the Made for Idol Treacle Tune Gospel Choir to bring it home.

Mopsy says she kept it real but he did not love the song. Again, is that her fault?

Tipsy, in a rare moment of clarity, says to Katharine, "That is not your fault."

Flopsy says she's a great potential artist but anyone who wants to vote for her should remember her second song of the night -- which was one he picked for her to sing last week, BTW.

Taylor is then forced to sing his made-for-"Idol" treacle tune, "Do I Make You Proud." It's bad, but not as bad as "My Destiny" by a mile. Here comes the Made for Idol Treacle Tune Gospel Choir to bring it home.

Mopsy says he likes Taylor's song better than Katharine's.

Tipsy says Taylor is better than the song and something about nuances. Maybe it was seances.

Flopsy tells Taylor, "You have just won 'American Idol.' "

Flopsy is evil.
