I remember last year he wasn't hot on Carrie and it was obvious and then the final night, he had to admit she nailed it and would probably win! And now her first single just went TRIPLE PLATNIUM....I hope he backs off on Taylor....I thought he did great last night - even if he did almost end up on his big ole butt! I like him and I'm just po'd that I only got through once but I guess that's a good thing! (Ugh, now I'm starting to sound like Martha Stewart!) I've got my fingers crossed that either Ace or Paris (hopefully Paris) gets the big old boot tonight!
Simon told Carrie very early on that she was going to sell a lot of records. And, I believe he said that she would sell more than anyone else would.
That's because he doesn't like country and she did a lot of country. He even called her a stepford wife one night.
