Clay Aiken has gone all Randy Jackson on Rihanna.

In an interview last night with Andy Cohen, the former American Idol runner-up was asked about the state of pop music. Specifically: which current singer would NOT make it past the first round of the Fox competition?

“There’s too many, I’ve stopped listening to them because they can’t sing” Aiken replied, before ultimately coming down on Rihanna – who is NOT dating Ashton Kutcher, people! – because she has “some pitch problems.”
