I missed Rod Stewart's comments to Taylor. What did he say?

He said something like to keep doing what he is doing. His dancing shows he's really "into" the song and feeling it. Then he told him not to listen to Simon, because it's a singing competition, not a dancing one. LOL

You know, I actually really liked Rod Stewart last night. I think I expected him to be sort of snooty or haughty, but he seemed sort of like a regular guy you would talk to at a pub. I thought he was much more likable then Kenny Rogers.

I missed Rod Stewart's comments to Taylor. What did he say?

Paraphrasing: Rod Stewart really liked Taylor. He told Taylor to ignore what Simon says about how Taylor dances and moves on stage. Stewart told Taylor to be himself, and that -- bada bing, what have I been saying ever since last year and my problems with Carrie's mechanical performances? -- entertaining isn't just about singing, but about performing. Stewart said that especially on TV, you've got to grab the audience by the balls (exactly his words), and bring them in. Stewart also said that he thinks what Taylor does is fine, because Taylor has the ability to truly entertain and engage his audience.

In a nutshell, in just a brief critique, the great Rod Stewart told Taylor that Simon doesn't know what he's talking about. It's about time someone did just that, because often Simon spouts pure nonsense.
