Step Aside, Bruce Gowers...

...I've got a new most-hated behind-the-scenes presence on Idol: Ken Warwick, I hate you. And everybody who's been zeroed out on Michael Jackson this season can line up right behind me to deliver whoopings.

Via Reality Blurred (and regarding the last-minute theme change from "Teen Idols" to "Billboard #1s" during the week Miley Cyrus mentored):

After being voted out, Siobhan Magnus explained in an interview with the L.A. Times that executive producer Ken Warwick changed the theme:

“There was too many duplications of everything. Two people wanted Jackson 5, two wanted Michael Jackson, two wanted to do the Monkees. … [Warwick] got really mad. He was, like, ‘Never have I had so many people want the same thing!’ So after we’d been rehearsing all day, everything got halted everything, and we had to wait for a few hours while they made a new list of songs. It had never been done before, but the theme was changed to Billboard No. 1 hits.”
