Last night, the "American Idol" top seven attempted to rock out, but few of their performances inspired me or my "The Day After" cohost, Matt Whitfield, to flick our Bics, bang our heads, or salute the "Idol" stage with the devil's-horns hand-sign. Where were Adam Lambert, James Durbin, or David Cook when we really needed them?

Okay, so Wednesday's episode didn't exactly rock our world. But at least there were a couple performances that we found entertaining. (And we found out that Keith Urban has a shoe fetish, which kind of rocks.) So watch us talk about last night's show in our latest chat below.

On Tuesday, "The Voice" Season 4 continued with more Blind Auditions, and while the hour-long episode was relatively light on truly mind-blowing talent, it did wrap up with a tour de force by a 17-year-old country girl named Savannah Berry, who just may be Season 4's one to beat.

Today, my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I discuss last night's hopefuls--and, with only one week of Blind Auditions left, we also assess where all four teams stand so far. Feel free to leave your own comments below, too!

Much ado has been made about "American Idol's" alarming ratings slump this year--last Thursday, the show sank to an all-time ratings low in its dozen seasons--and many naysayers and haters are claiming that controversial judge Nicki Minaj is the reason for "Idol's" decline. But while it's true that Nicki, who with her wigs and sassy backtalk sometimes seems more suited for the judging panel of "RuPaul's Drag Race," has undoubtedly alienated "Idol's" most conservative viewers, I think it's unfair to lay all the blame on her. No one judge can be held responsible for a show's success or failure--note that in an age of singing-competition fatigue, not even superstars Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson were enough to respectively help "The X Factor" or "Duets." And after all, it could just as easily be assumed that Nicki brought a new audience of diehard "Barbz" to "Idol," or that fellow new judges Mariah Carey and Keith Urban drew in additional viewers, to compensate for any supposed Minaj-instigated audience exodus this year.

No, there's a different sort of exodus going on here, and I think it's the real main reason for "Idol's" ratings plummet. It's the mass exodus of the type of contestants that have pleased the show's core fanbase since at least Season 7: cute boys with guitars. There, I said it.

"The Voice" continued apace and continued its awesomeness this Monday, with a two-hour episode that totally had me testifying at Adam Levine's "Jewish church." (That joke will make sense in a few paragraphs if you keep reading, which I suggest you do.) Here's who made it through--along with a couple of dishonorable mentions of notable contestants who didn't--on Monday night:
