As for the night's group performance, a tandem take on ''Maniac,'' well, it was sung live. I think. And no one sounded atroshe. Really, the less said the better, no?

And finally, a two-part quiz:

Which of the following moments provided the night's biggest burst of warm-fuzzies?
A. Discovering that covering a sappy Bryan Adams ballad is an immediate ticket to the bottom three.
B. Seeing Zac Efron genuinely thank the Top 7 Idols for coming to his movie premiere.
C. Allison growling, ''Oh! Limo! Cool!''
D. Kris wearing a half-unbuttoned plaid dress shirt over a black v-neck tee. (Dreamy!)
E. Simon chiming in that Kris' ''Falling Slowly'' was ''brilliant,'' thereby negating Randy's bunk Tuesday-night critique.

Which of the following made you most uncomfortable during tonight's telecast?
A. Zac Efron showing up to the result show with greasy locks covered by a busted winter hat.
B. Randy failing to keep time with the beat on ''Maniac.''
C. Lil wearing a dress made out of green '70s-era curtains and making ''old man'' jokes about Danny.
D. Miley Cyrus raising her arms weirdly and repeatedly during her rendition of ''The Climb.''
E. Randy failing miserably to counterpunch at Simon by praising Danny's ''Endless Love.''
F. Anoop landing in the bottom three despite giving one of the best performances of the night on Tuesday.
