I am soooo used to Simon's cutting remarks and merciless criticism, I don't even cringe anymore. Most of the people are really that bad, to be honest.
But last night when that girl explained to them that her boss had flown her down to audition again, Simon's insinuations were extremely tacky and offensive. And Randy jumped in too!
I mean, comment on their bad vocals and poor personality or anything performance related, but when you start implying that she and her boss have a thing going on and you say it on national TV, it's just nasty.
And the poor guy and his wife were out there, rooting her on, and he gets called in and they even asked him about it!!
It was ridiculous, and lacked class. I mean, even if there was something going on between them, it's noones place to speculate. Sometimes, Simon and Randy get too full of themselves and get carried away.

*shrug*

That's the way it did look(like he was after her). The chick did not even seem to catch on to their insinuations. The boss did a little I think. The wife was there so what's the harm?

I think they are all fair game for being made fun of, good or bad, if they sign up for this dreck.

Chillin' with Arkie

I thought the same thing when she said her boss flew her out there. So I wasn't surprised at all when Simon et. al. brought it up. I don't think the girl caught on right away.

Then, when she turned and sang a love song TO the boss, that was just creepy. I'll grant that looking at someone she knows and not at the three famous Idol judges might have calmed her nerves and made her sound marginally better, but even the boss seemed a little uncomfortable at that point.

I totally agree that if they go to the audition, they're fair game. They've all seen the show.

Winter wonderland a la Arkie!

Their insinuations, IMO, were more about the "feelings" she seemed to have for her boss. Than about him having "feelings" for her. And, she did seem to have "feelings" for him. As she gazed into his eyes, singing that love song to him. Creepy.

Simon is great! Without him no show.

You think she was doing him?
Good for him too!

Cool
