There's also the song selection "conspiracy" such as this:

I received this information from a Fox affiliate. I asked them for clarification on a story I heard. This is what was told to me:

". . .he did pick a hank williams, jr. song...but...idol couldn't or didn't get it approved...don't know details. . . ."

and this

"Then we found out from his brother that it was not the song he was going to perform. He had practiced another song for two or three days and they came to him with the bad news that they could not get that song approved, so he had to choose a song very fast, one that he was familiar with, one that was very short, and that the band could arrange in a very short time and to me, when I heard that, it explained everything because I was quite puzzled with his song choice."

Followed by this:

Simon said it looked like he had not practiced the song and had just decided to sing it. Well now we know the song was not Taylor's first choice and he was not able to practice it much. Simon had knowledge of this and tried to used it against Taylor.

Interesting stuff. I hope Taylor kicks butt next week. At this point he's overdue. :)
