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.
Thank God for Chris Daughtry. We had some good performances tonight, but this was the only real-world performance. Best tonight by and large.
I don't think you're the best singer, but you're interesting. I kind of prefer you to last year's winner, actually.
This is the show I've always wanted to make. We are looking for the best entertainer or entertainers in America.
At five seasons, I think, potentially, you are the best male vocalist we've ever had.
I think you're going to be a very successful model. And it's best to be great at something rather than not so good at something.
When you get your first pay cheque, it's the best feeling in the world.
It is a personal thrill for me to play a role in giving the best young singers in America a shot at realizing their dreams. I'm also happy to be working with my good friend Simon Fuller for the foreseeable future and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the Fox network and the phenomenal success that is American Idol .
In my opinion, this was your best performance so far.
I thought the song was boring. It is 'American Idol' and you've got to be as broad as possible.
I thought that deserved tears but for a very different reason. ... I thought it was like the never ending song.
I think we've got better talent than last year, There are two or three contestants, even without the competition, we would take seriously as a record label. If I don't find an international artist this year, then I will have failed. That is the one thing that interests me,
I think the song was bigger than you.
Just as well, we couldn't afford the food bill.
