Tonight, American Idol focused on whittling the contestants from several dozen to two dozen, or YOUR TOP 24, AMERICA! Janell Wheeler—who'd been struggling with her voice—performed Taylor Swift's Love Story, and it was baaaaad. But, here's the thing...

Even though Janell completely effed up the lyrics, the melody, the pitch and the tone of the song, she still sounded better than Taylor Swift does when performing it live.

Yeah, I said it. Don't believe me? Watch and decide for yourself.
