Yeah, Simon is hilarious. I just feel so sorry though for those 10,000+ people (and that number is very accurate) who he offended. Oh, and guess what? I was able to find a copy of the fight the judges had on the show this Tuesday! I'm so happy Christina made it as a finalist!
Randy:
RJ, love those initials man, those happen to be my initials as well. You did very well man, very good. I've always loved the sound and tone of your voice; it was very good. I liked it a lot.
Paula:
You gave a solid performance. You gave a great performance when we saw you when you first came in Atlanta. You were awesome then, you've raised the game. I thought you sang a solid rendition of that.
Simon:
I could not disagree with you more Paula. I did not think that was solid, completely distinct, I'm sorry, average. Seriously, we have to get this competition back on track. In the last two episodes, two losers have been voted through for one reason and one reason only, it was the sympathy vote and has nothing to do with talent. This competition is about raising the game. I think some of the talent has been sensational and I think other people have got through for the wrong reasons and I'm fed up with it cause I don't think that was good enough.
Paula:
I disagree with that.
Simon:
You can disagree all you like.
Randy:
You know what I disagree with-Simon, I have been sitting here week after week; you keep insulting these people. You can't call people losers. What's wrong with you?
Paula:
Damn Right.
Simon:
I can call them whatever I like.
Paula:
No you can't.
Simon:
Yes I can.
Paula:
No you can't.
Simon:
Yes I can.
Randy:
Well then I have a problem with Simon and I think we need to talk about this later.
Simon:
Discuss it some other time.
Randy:
No, we need to talk about it later. This is crazy. This is America, we don't do this to people, we don't insult people like that.
Simon:
Well, I'm not American. It has nothing to do with where you're from. In my opinion, and I have an opinion on this show, they are losers and they do not deserve to be in this competition.
Randy:
But you don't have to call them losers.
Paula:
I'm going to tell you something. Being cavalier and judging effort-America is about celebrating the effort of-
(cut off by Simon)
Simon:
Don't give me that America rubbish Paula. That is rubbish. I am here to give an opinion and it was an opinion.
Paula:
I know but it's an opinion that's attacking the wrong thing.
Randy:
It's wrong.
Simon:
(To RJ Helton) Sorry, this is not directed to you. What I was trying to say was, is that I think some of the people who are getting through the competition are getting through for the wrong reasons, that's all I think.
Paula:
He's just having a tough day. He hasn't been held much when he was a child. He needs it now.
Simon:
I'm not having a bad day.
Randy:
I'll tell you something, if he keeps insulting people like that he's going to have a tougher day.
Simon:
Can I take a happy pill and we'll deal with this later?
Randy:
Hey, come on you want to do something about it?
(Randy stands)
Simon:
We'll discuss this, Randy, Randy, we'll discuss this later.
Randy:
Come on dude, you're in America now, you don't do this.
Simon:
I can do what I want.
Randy:
No you can't.
Paula:
You really can't, not when it's with these kids.
