yeah, that definitely was a classic line. He was so innocently cute :lol

I knew they went through pre-auditions, that's when they all gather in the stadiums etc, and they're weeded down to the number that see the actual judges. The really bad singers that know they're bad, fine, they don't expect to make it further. But there ARE people that really do think they're good and they totally set them up to be slammed by the judges. They say people don't want to watch so-so singers? I still wish they'd stick with the talent. I'd happily watch the auditions if it wasn't funny and it were a close race to see who actually made it through :shrug

I do laugh at some of it, Simon totally cracks me up a lot of time, but the gimmicks have gone too far.
