Oh, and I don't recall Simon saying that to Chris or David, Kenny. Although, Simon and David did have a little fight at this same point last year. Simon felt he was too arrogant or something and I think David even alluded to it in his speech when he won, calling himself the "word nerd" or something. Simon did say Jennifer Hudson had no star quality and I think he said the same about Clay. I also think he felt the same about Jordin too. He never seemed to be totally on board with her until the finale and her last performance when he knew she would win.
At times Simon says stuff like that as a way to light a fire under the butt of the performer. It was after that "discussion" they had he comes out and sings "Hello" which blew Simon away. It really depends on how the performer takes what Simon says. Problem is that most of the time people start booing before Simon even says anything that the performer just goes with how the audience reacts and don't really listen to what Simon is saying. I still tend to take what Simon says way more than any of the other judges. His views maybe at times down right mean, but I think he is more honest than the others.

I remember his comment to Clay was something about that he could enjoy Clay's performances better with his eyes closed. I have to say I sort of agree with him. Clay had the voice but the image in the beginning didn't fit.

Oh, absolutely!

I couldn't agree more about Simon. That is why I like him. Sometimes he can be rude or harsh but he knows is stuff and 9 times out of 10 he can pick the winner right off the bat (then again, I've been pretty good at that too but still impressive) and his comments aren't always repetitive and the same old crap habits that some of the other judges fall into. The week after that incident with him and David, David came out and went on a roll that took him right into the finale. He sometimes thinks a talented singer needs a kick in the ass so he does it for them. I like that and I applaud him for it.

I remember the Clay comments too. I agree but he did get easier to look at throughout the season. By the finale, I wasn't bothered by him at all. Sometimes looks bother me but I try not to worry too much about it or who the singer is until at least top 12. My mom hated Carly last season and hates Megan this season because of the tattoo on both girls' arms. It bothers me a bit but it's more about the voice and performance for me. The rest is secondary to that IMO. It matters but it's a singing competition so I try to stay in line with that. Just wish the judges would too because this season the focus on image and personality is just beyond annoying.

Jesse looks hot in that dress!

She sounds like Joss Stone. I'm not crazy about this performance though.

Loving Matt Giraud. Very soulful. Smooth vocals. Lots of attitude in his performance.

I hope he makes it through!

Megan's singing "Black Horse & The Cherry Tree."

Love her! This is much better than her performance last week, IMO. She's so pretty! I'd totally make out with her if she had a penis, LoL.

The performance is really good in parts and kind of iffy at other parts. I'm enjoying it though.

My Mom commented about her tattoos too, and I'll admit that they are kinda distracting when she wears such pretty dresses.

It's Mason's twin Von's turn!

Well, there goes Von's chances, LoL. The judges hated it.

The only lock so far is Matt Giraud.

LoL, yep. He's done for.

Unless they ripped into him to fool viewers. But I'm doubting it.

I really liked Von's performance. He looked VERY nervous, but I liked his vocals and I thought he was awesome in the last 2/3 of the song.

Not impressed with Jasmine Murray. "Reflection" is a cheesy song and her lower register isn't all that great.

She has no shot, IMO.

Edit: Nevermind. The judges LOVED it, LoL.

I agree with Simon that song choice wasn't the best.....

He did a good job singing it though.

Well, Ricky's done for sure. Only two of the judges liked it. Between Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai (who's a sure lock) making it for the guys, he stands no chance. Figures! LoL

All the people I like are getting cut early!
