Simon can be a bit jerkish... but I have to admit I agree with a lot of what he says!...... what does that make me?

The problem with Simon is the way in which he delivers his praise and/or criticisms. For the most part he is accurate. It's just his lack of kindness and the analogies he uses. I feel he is harsh in his remarks and deliberately goes for "shock statements." Also, I think he is hot.

Perhaps I'm just shortsighted. When a pentecostal girl wins, ya'll can set me straight.

Remember what Simon told the one girl that sang a gospel song last year? That she was being "self-indulgent"? (something like that.....) That was her last night. And he's right, actually. AI is about a person who appeals to a majority of the voters...Gospel is a niche, and conservative appearance narrows that niche even more.

I think that you'd have to try to blend in, appearance wise, or you wouldn't make it.

I don't think you have to blend in...but you have to look the part as well as have the talent. Yes you would need to wear make up...the lights and camera wash you out...she would have to wear her hair up and in different styles, and they have to sing songs that are picked for them, or from a category. I don't think she could keep her standards and truly compete...or completely compete!

Maybe truth is winning out this year...Simeon cuts to the bone, but he is honest. I don't like when he gets personal...

But he sure is funny!

I have to agree with him a lot. Like when he asks, "Let me ask you a question....do you think you can sing?" Like the girl who claims to have sang for the mayor of Houston who, when she auditioned, never said a word to the song, just made weird gluttal sounds. If I were Simon, I'd have asked her if the mayor of Houston was deaf or hard of hearing.....LOL!

Not to mention that her gluttal sounds weren't on key either!

A conservative Apostolic gal could never win, but a conservative Apostolic guy could! Guys have the added bonus of blending in with the culture!
