So Ryan Seacrest Did This Last Night…

Should he have been crowned the winner?

Another season down, and another winner of American Idol crowned. Since Fox is always trying to outdo itself with its Idol finales, it seemed to have found itself in the precarious position of needing something truly shocking and/or awful for last night’s broadcast.

So, Ryan Seacrest, tone-deaf as he is, agreed to sing for the first time in Idol history.

And that’s not all. He performed a sort of homoerotic duet with none other than Richard Marx, one of Bryan Adams’ main “soft-rock” competitors throughout the 80’s and early 90’s. Side note: Marx is looking more and more like Barry Manilow as time goes on. Not that I’ve been paying much attention to him or anything.

I think I enjoyed American Idol‘s finales a lot more when they used to do stuff like this:

Fox has history in broadcasting that spans two decades. From his early days as an FM host and club DJ in the mid-90′s to his later experiences in political talk radio, he has always had a knack for combining topical news with his love for popular culture. Those experiences culminated in his position as executive producer for several radio shows featured in the TALKERS Heavy 100. Originally from New York, Fox has made the great pilgrimage down to sunny south Florida.
