You have the perfect voice for that kind of song. There's nothing more I can say.
We're proud, we're happy, and it's nice that she remembers the show as well.
I don't think you're the best singer, but you're interesting. I kind of prefer you to last year's winner, actually.
Well, you know the idea of you singing ... well, never mind, forget it. I think it worked. You did it.
He was one of those hah-hah funny sort of auditions. The guy had people rolling around in hysterics all day and I'm like what's the point? This is a joke. So I just said no.
I find Paula patronizing. It's as simple as that. Paula is more damaging than I am to these contestants because a lot of people just shouldn't be singing for a living.
I would be careful. You've got to be entertaining.

This was the only performance which stands up in the real world -- tonight you were the standard.
We don't want to spread any rumors here.
Everything's open this year, isn't it? There are four, five, six people who could win.
Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals. The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks).
