Alice Cooper, Bret Michaels Perform on 'American Idol' Finale

Even if you don't watch American Idol, you can appreciate the coolness that is Alice Cooper and Bret Michaels. Both made separate appearances on the show last night.

For those who don't watch, last night was the season finale. It came down to Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox and Lee eventually won. Before the winner was crowned, producers created a two-hour spectacle featuring all sorts of performers, including Alice Cooper with Keri Kelli, Orianthi and Bret Michaels.

Here's the awesome Coop performance:

I ended up liking Casey James as the season wore on. He's a great guitarist - in fact - he'd fit in as a lead for just about any metal band that needs him. Anyway, he finished in third place. He started playing "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and I knew Bret Michaels was going to appear...and he did. Bret looked and sounded great. He certainly didn't look sick, frail or tired. I don't know how he does it -- I just hope he paces himself. Check it out:
