I think he really likes Paula, somehow somebody forced her out, frankly, I liked her too, I know she’s got issues but I still think she made the show ... If Simon leaves the show is done.
Simon is an incredibly talented guy, and for those who comment that that he’s a jerk he is not. He came from nothing, started off at the bottom of the latter, working for free a gopher in the music business, went broke several times, he’s life story is incredible and inspiring, he embodies the hard work ethic of “do it yourself and you can do anything” and he has. Anybody that knows his life stories would agree with that, they should really make a movie about him.
