Quotes

Ryan: It's an emotional roller coaster ladies and gentlemen. (edit)
Simon (To Katharine): By choosing that song, it is like coming out here and saying 'I am as good as Whitney Houston'. You're not. (edit)
Simon (To Elliott): Seven weeks ago, I said you were one of the best male vocalists we've ever had on 'Idol'. Tonight, in parts, it was like a master class. It was superb. (edit)
