American Idol Season 6 Episode 16

Ryan: You sang Because You Loved Me, Randy thought the song didn't work for you, Paula thought it was an improvement from last week, Simon thought it was worse than last week and called you a donut.

Leslie: (singing her exit song after elimination, in the tune of Feeling Good's last lines after short scat) Why did I decide to scat? America don't care for Jazz.

Paula (to Alaina after she was eliminated): You can see how much the contestants adore you. You're talented.

Ryan (to Antonella): I'm sorry, you're going to have to deal with Simon again.

Alaina (on being eliminated): I'm okay with it, it was an amazing experience and I can't believe I did this and I'm so happy that I got to. I just want to thank everyone for voting, all my family and friends... I couldn't do it without you guys. I just want everybody who's left to sing your butts off!

Simon (to Nick Pedro after he was eliminated): You've got to stand-out in the crowd, and that's the problem. You're not a bad singer actually. But it's about standing out in the crowd.
Paula (adding): Last year you opted out when you made it to Hollywood, and I'm so glad and everybody's so glad you opted in this season.

Randy (after A.J. was eliminated): I don't know about tonight dog, I think A.J. kind of blew it out the box the other night... I thought he really showed off his skills.

Simon (when asked if the right people went home): Not necessarily, no. But this is American Idol isn't it? You've got to vote for the people you want to stay in... that's all I can say.

Paula: It's a singing competition... everyone needs to vote and remember who it is that they love singing.

Paula (when asked if the right people were going home): Truthfully, this is a singing competition, I don't feel tonight reflects this.

Ryan: (Talking about spider sushi) You know that it's not real spiders?
Kellie: Uh-uh. Then why do they call it spider sushi?
Ryan: Long story.
