Oh, and after the ads, it's... Justin Bieber! Okay, which is not a result, but hey, it's Justin Bieber. He's the result of something entirely different. Dressed as the ghost of Christmas 2045, he sings "The Christmas Song" that's better known as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," in the most obnoxious way imaginable, with all these notes that aren't even in the song. And wait, what? There's Stevie Wonder, parked behind a keyboard upstage to sing the bridge for some reason. Stevie also contributes a harmonica solo. The judges are all standing up at their table, I suspect because they're getting ready to walk out. And after the Biebs finishes singing that, he doesn't have the decency to leave the stage, but instead launches into an allegedly jazzy version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," joined onstage by an army of breakdancers. My spellcheck doesn't recognize the word breakdancers, because it's more up to date than Justin Bieber is. Then he stops before the very last word of the sing and invites Drew out to re-sing the last line, after giving her a big hug. So I guess we can take her off suicide watch now. Steve comes out to let Justin and Stevie talk about working with each other, but obviously the more embarrassing part is when Steve brings up Drew's fantasy of holding hands with Justin on a beach while watching the sun go down. "Yeah, that was kinda better," Drew admits. Except for the part where Steve came out and mortified her afterward.
