The winner has to appeal to all of America, not just country fans or rock fans or whatever. The sad thing for me is somebody like Ruben who didn't pigeonhole himself on 'Idol' he did sing 'Imagine' and a Bee Gees song and then the record label pigeonholed him.

I've never heard kids blame other kids to their faces on-stage. I've never heard people give the judges a mouthful and say 'I'm quitting the show.' Everybody has more attitude this season. I've never seen people as willing to (be harsh to) others as this crowd. Before, we've said to them 'You want to win. You want to get rid of other people' and they've said 'No, we all love each other.' Well, not this crowd... Thank God there weren't any sharp instruments.
