American Idol 2010: Simon’s Last Night To Judge
It was a great night for Simon Cowell to give the final critiques of his American Idol career. You couldn’t have asked for two better singers from this season, unless you want to throw in Casey James, for Simon to have as the Top 2 finalists.
I thought in honor of the judge we all love to hate I would tell you what he thought of each of the performances tonight.
Lee – ‘The Boxer’ was Lee’s choice and Simon said “That was a kiss on the cheek, when I want a kiss on the lips. It’s got to be a bit more than that.”
Crystal – ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ was her favorite song of the season and Simon said “This brought me back to when we absolutely fell in love with you. You know what, we have a competition tonight, that was excellent.”
Lee’s second song was ‘Everybody Hurts’ and it was chosen by Simon Fuller. Cowell said “You went a little bit off melody at parts. What I’m getting from you tonight, is your nervous.When you come out for your last performance, I want 10 out of 10.”
Crystal’s pick by the producer was ‘Black Velvet’ and Simon said “I had a little bit of a problem, because I’m almost allergic to that song. But I’ve got to tell you, you took that song and you absolutely nailed it. I’m very impressed, I mean, really good.”
The last choice is the song the contestants will release as their first single if they win the competition.
Lee sang ‘Beautiful Day’ and Simon said, “this is what this competition was designed for, someone like you who needs a break…I genuinely wish the best for you. You’re a great guy.”
Crystal’s final song was ‘Up To The Mountain’ and Simon said as his last and final critique, “I thought that was by far the performance and the song of the night. And since this is going to be the final critique I’m ever going to give, that was outstanding.”
A good night for Cowell and a great night for the finalists. Be sure to watch tomorrow night as the winner is crowned and we bid Simon farewell.

EEEm Mike was voted out of the show a few weeks ago but was saved by the judges vote (thank god) but he was the only one worth listening to in the competition, i feel crystal and lee are both amateur sounding karaoke singers, crystal looks absolutely revolting and is now up her own ass like she is some sort of superstar when really all she is a wannaby pub singer, i feel this season is the worst and now simon is leaving will definately will not be watching it anymore, i am british and live in canada and cannot wait for simon to bring x factor to my t.v to watch some talented people…..Just a closing word for the 2 contestants…..DIABOLICAL!!!!

I’m not sure what “pub” some of the commenting people attend, but I’d like to go there cause the singing must be great! This was by far, the best season. Mike, Casey, Lee and (the hands down winner) “Mamma Sox” were outstanding. Crystal has all I liked about Janis, but is expodentiallty better. Lee is fantastic, but just up against a steamroller. Simon is actually exiting like a gentleman, and Eleen has been fantastic as well. American Idol rocks. Congrats Crystal on a.great night last night!

Casey James will be far more successful than the top 2.

I totally agree with Ron Rhodes. They were all good but “Mamma Sox” really rocked last night; she was by far the best. This girl can belt out a tune like nobody else; she could sing the phone book and I would still absolutely love her.
On another note, I will miss Simon terribly because of his brutal honesty and his beautiful smile. I can’t think of anyone else who could replace him. However, replacing Paula with Ellen was a big mistake; Ellen is a very good comedian but as a judge on AI, she just did not measure up. You don’t compare contestants to food. Come on Ellen, you should know better.
