Look, she doesn't need to thank me and she doesn't need to thank American Idol. She does need to thank the fans who voted for her on American Idol. That's all.
One or two haven't got a cats-in-hell chance, like the kid with the glasses.
The Super Bowl's a good analogy. You've got to make people look forward to it once a year.
Personally, I hope to find the next Siegfried and Roy.
Complete and utter mess. It was 'We Will Rock You, Gently'.
Creed would not be caught dead on this show. You've got to start showing, at this point, another side. You can't keep doing this week after week after week.
They all hate each other deep down, but they're not gonna say it on camera. Ask Kelly how many congratulation e-mails she got from the other contestants. Probably zero. But that's the music business. In a positive way, I like that. I like the fact that people enter the show because they might win.

To me, it was absolutely crystal clear at this stage last year that Carrie Underwood would win the competition. So it all felt a bit obvious. Whereas this year, I could argue the case for seven or eight of the contestants. I genuinely don't know who's gonna win. I've got a feeling who are gonna make the finals.

This is a show I've always wanted to make. This time we're looking for everything. Personally, I hope to find the next Siegfried and Roy! I promise this is going to be a fun ride.
No matter how good the singer you are, you're always going to be tied to the song you sing. If I have to guess based on the song you sang, I think Elliott, you'll stay.
That was 100 times better than the other performances tonight.
You're useless, I'm bored - yes or no?
