Yes, I know: that’s a pretty obvious title. But, while some titles are too obvious to be used, other titles are so blazingly over-the-top obvious that they demand to be used. Yesterday David Archuleta was on The Wendy Williams Show promoting his new album The Other Side of Down, supposedly one of the finest albums ever recorded by a runner-up on American Idol. Wendy asked David what he thought of the show’s new judges, and showed him a picture of the current line-up–Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and host Ryan Seacrest. Here’s the exchange:
Wendy Williams: What do you think about the new judges, before we talk about the rest of what’s going on with your life?
David Archuleta: The new judges – I’m kind of excited! I’m looking forward to seeing Jen – who’s that other girl? Is there another girl? Are there four judges?
WW: Oh no!
DA: Oh!
WW: That would be Steven Tyler.
DA: (Same time as Wendy) Oh, that’s Jennifer Lopez!
DA: No, sorry, I was lookin’ at – No, so I was lookin’ at Jennifer Lopez. (laughs) I didn’t know she had blond hair now. I promise I wasn’t looking at Steven Tyler.
There’s also a video at the link. In Archuleta’s defense, it should be noted that he’s about fourteen or something like that, so he probably has only the dimmest idea who Steven Tyler is. And in Tyler’s defense, the dude really doesn’t look like a lady. He looks more like some hideous half-mummified drag queen, a slightly more youthful version of Madonna or Janice Dickinson. That rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle take a serious toll on the complexion.

Dear Steve Tyler,
Pick any TWO:
- Dangling earrings
- Lip gloss
- Highlights in your hair
- Nail polish
- Gaudy rings
Any more than that, and we’ll be around to collect your man card.

The most un-rock ‘n’ roll move a singer could make … does he take the Simon role and uncork some canned put-downs? Or pre-write critiques riffing on old Aerosmith tracks? It’s ugly any way you slice it.
