Exactly. It's just sour grapes. If he was a raging jerk, as this blurb claims he is, it wouldn't have been kept quiet this long... I dont' believe it either. When he has been interviewed on the local radio stations, he is always gracious and the hosts go on for days about how nice he is. Even if Simon doesn't like him, you would think he would have better sense to promote him and not tear him down. That seems like it would hurt record sells.

That seems like it would hurt record sells.

I have a theory about that, too (I have a theory about EVERYTHING! LOL!). I don't think Simon can stand to be wrong. He thinks Taylor stinks and really doesn't want him to be successful. There has been near zero promotion for his record. I haven't heard his song on the radio any where. I almost think Simon wants to use Taylor as a warning to the other winners. "See what happens when you don't listen to us??"
