Dude’s fifteen minutes ran out ten years ago but he was too drunk to notice.
Well, except in Germany, where for some reason, he’s a demi-god.

Some say antichrist.
He’s on one of the higest rated summer shows.
We went to many of the live tapings of the show this season. He is so sweet, nice to everybody, has enough of a sense of humor to parody himself all the time.
I was there for the taping of his singing segment. The man can actually sing. I was ready to cringe, but he was belting it out live. He didn’t like the first take, and got the bugs out on the second take and took it. It was corny but it was really him singing dead live, no lipsync.
I have grown quite fond of him this year. He is a classic people pleaser, a genuine nice guy. He loves the crowds.
I did think he was drunk for that final show — he made even less sense than usual. He’s the sweetie of the judges, the “Paula,” if you will. He is VERY nice to the fans and tries to make the contestants feel good.
I hope he finally decides to make a full break from the alcohol this time.
