Only had time to see a very little bit last night. Saw them passing through the girls and then that weird dude with the blue outfit, he hugged Kara and said something about Simon being "Sassy". Can't remember was he the dude with all the weird voices too?

AHEM. Like a press leak. Simon tells his brother, agent, random people that he's thinking of leaving the show. Word gets out to entertainment shows, magazines, around hollywood in general. It creates a controversy with fans who want to retain him on the show, while simultaneously planting the idea in Fox's collective mind that he may be going, and it allows them to re-evaluate how much he's worth to the show (and because of the rising profile aided by rumors of him leaving the show, his image on the show is worth more). So by the time he gets to the negotiating table, Fox is prepared to pay him more without him saying the first word, and from there he can drive a hard bargain.
It's genius.

No, but I saw an interview with Simon last night where he said that he would like to work with Paula in the future. He is bringing the X Factor to American tv and even eluded to the fact that she may be on that.

It's sad watching some people display their talent when they have none, and then are crushed when they are rejected.... Sort of like a Barbie post...

I miss Flawless Thank you for this post--I kept trying to come up with the name "Flawless" all night last night while watching, and I couldn't remember it. I knew it was something "less" but that was as close as I could get. I agree, bring back Flawless!

Some of those people appear to be mentally ill - especially the first girl who kept jumping up & down. Why in the world was she wearing a shirt like that anyway??
I wonder why Fox shows some of these people. (Yes, I watch it all - it is like a train wreck)

Ya know, I don't find Posh hot at all.
She needs to gain some weight just to be healthy looking.
Man, she can be downright skinny scary and whoever said Skeletor above was right on the money.

I think Ellen's biggest qualification is that she is so in tune with popular culture, and often influences it as well. After all, AI is all about finding someone who will be able to sell lots of records and be popular. As a comedian, she can also bring some levity to the process.
