He was extremely rude to Josh. He's very likable & talented. he just needs good material to work with. Hope he has another hit soon.

I noticed his caution about criticizing Reuben's appearance too. And he didn't suggest that the gum be put on his picture either.

He was wrong about Taylor & a few others too. He just isn't man enough to admit it.

I found this quote on an Idol-related website (from an article on EW.com)

"They [Season 6 Hollywooders] also want a reaction from Simon, but now they aren't so quick to take his criticism. ''With Simon getting it wrong regarding Taylor, it's ammunition for the contestants,'' says exec producer Nigel Lythgoe. ''If Simon says 'I don't like you,' now they say, 'I don't give a s---. You didn't like Taylor last year.'''

Simon never liked Taylor and now dislikes the repercussions.

For anyone who wants spoilers (who might be in the Top 40):

Golden Tickets

It's a discussion site that seems to be fairly devoid of bad language. I've looked over it for an hour and don't feel the need to take a shower : )

[conservativebabe]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HORROR!

LMAO!

[Palladin]

Thanks for those links. I see on Melinda's MySpace page that Mandisa is one of her best friends! That can't hurt.

[Palladin]

I see on that site that Sundance Head and the Malakar boy made it to the top 24. That is, if the info is accurate.

[Palladin]

OOPS! Make that the top 40.

I wish two of last night's rejects had gotten tickets for Seattle and auditioned there-I think they'd have been chosen. The black guy with the cheerleaders I thought was about as good as most of those chosen before him, and the black woman that got PO'd and cursed the people trying to take her picture-I think she's at LEAST as good as that blonde chosen only a little later, and the blonde was IMO just as "unoriginal" voice wise. I don't blame her for being upset.

[Palladin]

I liked the young man with the cheerleading team. The judges told him to come back next year. Maybe he will.

[Verloona Ti]

I hope he does-he did have a very nice voice, and so did the angry black woman. I hope they try in a less 'music-oriented' city, so they'll stand out more.

[retrokitten]

That is so terrifying. It looks like it's from America's Most Wanted, not AI!

[retrokitten]

Malakar boy

I read this as Marklar, like from South Park. LOL!

[Netizen]

Thanks for those links. I see on Melinda's MySpace page that Mandisa is one of her best friends! That can't hurt.

No problem. Someone was looking for names, was it you, or someone else? I couldn't recall who was asking.

[EmilyGeiger]

I'm not going to dance. I'm going to do a movement....

[EmilyGeiger]

Only 23 from Memphis are going to Hollywood





Yep, but that's more than SEattle and MN. put through.... What city is tonight?

[EmilyGeiger]

Two hours in New York tomorrow night!




Never mind, I didn't read far enough down. Thanks

[EmilyGeiger]

Simon's comments about Taylor made me so mad!!!I wish Simon wasn't so jerky sometimes.

[EmilyGeiger]

Do you know if there is anywhere on the internet to watch the show? I missed it would like to see it.
