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.
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.
I couldn't understand a single word you said.
Thank God for Chris Daughtry. We had some good performances tonight, but this was the only real-world performance. Best tonight by and large.
These two will never put you through to the final group.
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.
Thank God for Chris. This, for me, was the only real-world performance. I can actually imagine you having a hit with this record. . . . Best tonight by a mile.

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. But once you're in the finals, I think you're gonna have the most open competition you've ever seen, which for us and the viewers at home, that's a good thing.
Why are you having a normal conversation with him? This is a dairy farmer dressed as a woman.
We saw a young girl we all thought was fantastic.
