For the love of god, ripping off the Chili Peppers version of Higher Ground because you're 100% rawk, 0% soul, is not "original". Neither is mangling a classic like "I Walk the Line" until it's an unrecognizable, overcompressed heap of distorted guitars and nasally, whiney, alt-rock pseudo-crooning. No bonus points for wearing all black, either, genius. I'm aghast at the judges on this one -- never mind not picking up on the RHCP ripoff -- their historical memory apparently doesn't even extend back to last week. So, Chris will keep doing this, and keep getting away with it.

To make matters worse, his version of
I Walk the Line is a cover of a cover, too. It's on Live's Greatest Hits CD.
Can you believe that crap? Okay, it was bad enough that the judges didn't call him out on the Chili Pep's ripoff, but then for Chris himself to not even give credit for the alt-rock arrangement where it is due? Dead to me, he is.
