They also learned (wrongly) from Simon's slams of Clay Aiken as "too Broadway," that there's something wrong with a higher class of music than what today's schlock pop "artists" have to offer.

Interesting take. Maybe they are trying to right that wrong.

I doubt it. More likely Simon "discovered" operatic music when he introduced "Il Divo," the operatic music version of N'Sync type boy groups.

I'm a cynic. So forgive me for thinking it's all about M O N E Y.
