Countdown to Bad Vibes and Live Blogging: David vs. David vs. Staticblog, 7-9 p.m.

It’s my view that Simon Cowell either hates or doesn’t understand rock music, would rather deal with a compliant 17-year-old winner than a 25-year-old who has lived in the real world and called his own shots. We’ll see if I’m wrong, but currently I feel that Cowell gamed the show last night, and the outcome is about as certain as gravity.
