After two weeks of witnessing American Idol finalists despoil the beloved compositions of The Beatles' songbook, Sherri Shepherd could sit silent no longer, unleashing on today's The View a blistering condemnation of their shameless, vocoder-assisted blaspheming of the sacred pop texts.

But it was contestant Brooke White for whom she saved her most venomous rhetoric, accusing the emotive earth mother--seconded only by Paula Abdul in the ease and frequency with which she can access her sob-reflex--of befouling George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" with a dunderheaded interpretation that involved the donning of a literal sun dress, impromptu pirouettes, and involuntary yelps of joy. Or, to put it in Shepherd's terms, the Earth may not be flat, but that crazy bitch in the yellow sure as hell is.
