I agree as well. Simon, though blasted for his remarks all the time, actually knows what he is talking about. Paula when saying how "pretty" they look, doesn't give the singers anything to hang on to in regards to improving their performance, which is what it is all about, isn't it? (run on sentence) And what is really up with all the bad vibes, rude remarks, etc. between Simon and Ryan? I don't get it. Did you see where Ryan was saying something in Simon's ear and Simon said, "No, I'm not going to do that! NO!" This banter is very annoying and irritating to me. It is like listening to a bad joke and not being in on the punch line. It seems to me that Ryan is the one that eggs things on. GRRR
I think Kristy should go. That was the worst rendition of Eight Days A Week I have ever heard. But she probably had a cold, or it was the band's fault, or the new set made her nervous. Certainly, it wasn't her fault. :-( I am anxiously awaiting her departure.
