Anyone who delivers such a withering smackdown to Cowell’s chronic snobbery deserves my applause.

I don’t like and don’t watch the whole “Idol” thing, but this video brought a tear to the eye. Not just for the woman and her amazing voice, but for the powerful way it reminded me of the lesson we all learned at a young age but often forget - “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. It seemed pretty obvious the judges got that same reminder, too.

Mr. Cowell has made a lot of money off of his shtick. In that not unlikely event that he had an inkling of what was coming, he still has to play the part, in order to build the drama.
