In my opinion, the big scandal of American Idol is that each contestant was screened before Paula, Randy, and Simon heard them. The audience is given the impression that they heard EVERYBODY and had to suffer through all of these horrible auditions. The truth is, good people were turned away and bad people let through just so they could be humiliated on television.
That being said, Simon is my hero. I am just dying to tell a prospective student, "A word of advice for your next audition: don't." But I would get fired.
