Simon is talking from both sides of his mouth
Lynche was criticized for using the stage. Casey for not using the stage

I thought Simon criticized them both for not using the stage.

The directives from the judge:

* Use the stage but don’t use the stage.
* Be original but don’t be original.
* Respect the original but make the song your own.
* Show character but don’t be a show-off.

No problem, right?
