Poor Miley Cyrus - gets on "American Idol" to mentor some contestants (a handful of whom can really not sing), deal with Kara, run the gauntlet of truly annoying "Idol" fans who stuff the theater every week, and (back to mentoring) offer some advice that she and everyone else knows the mentoree will never take and has no intention of taking...

  ...and then get panned for her big performance last night.

 The twitter stream was unkind, and the morning after kibitzers seem less than enthusiastic too. 

  Seems only quasi-screechy to me, but I'm grateful (or am I?) Simon didn't a chance to offer some choice observations...
