I think you're going to be a very successful model.
I think you just booked your plane ticket home.
I think the audience at home deserves better than that.
I thought the song was boring. It is 'American Idol' and you've got to be as broad as possible.
It is a personal thrill for me to play a role in giving the best young singers in America a shot at realizing their dreams. I'm also happy to be working with my good friend Simon Fuller for the foreseeable future and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the Fox network and the phenomenal success that is American Idol .
Just as well, we couldn't afford the food bill.
I think the song was bigger than you.

Thank God for Chris. This, for me, was the only real-world performance. I can actually imagine you having a hit with this record. . . . Best tonight by a mile.
Thank God for Chris Daughtry. We had some good performances tonight, but this was the only real-world performance. Best tonight by and large.
I promise this is going to be a fun ride.
