His comments were rather transparent. He doesn't want Elliott to go any further and while he couldn't bash the vocal, he had to bash the personality. The thing is, people LIKE him and to take that kind of whack at a guy that people have developed a liking for is going to piss people off to some extent. Also, I have to think that people don't want to see him leave at and have Ace stay.

Which I believe was Simon's intent. I also think Simon was pretty kind to Ace tonight because he know's it's his week to leave. Simon was pissed when he was WRONG about Ace last week. He was sure he was gone after his Queen disaster.
For the record, I've been tough on Ace but I DO think he's probably a nice kid. Desparate Housewives can hire him to play a singing waiter or pool boy next season.
Good point.
He does the same thing to Taylor, bashing something other than vocals.
