There's apparently no love lost between Ruben Studdard's second banana and Kris Allen's, evidenced by an entry Posted yesterday on Aiken's subscriber-only-accessible blog. "For the record�I couldn't be happier about the way AI ended this year," Aiken wrote, per Defamer. "I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year.

"This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing 'Ring of Fire' and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful and slightly frightening!" - Ouch!
