miserable, melodic...minnesota

Did Simon just call Minneapolis "useless at everything"? Yes.
It was a comment spurred by a juggler's failed attempt at excellence, although he did follow the gig with a pretty nifty dance routine that Simon also canned. His foul-mouth routine was pretty awesome, though, and the drop-dead stare from the following super-fan was to-die-for.
Back to the super-fan, who just said she and "Idol" are "BFF"...the obsession with Ace Young is a little scary. Nonetheless, it's more normal than her audition, which garnered almost unrivaled criticism from the judges, despite her 10 years of training.
"Is there anything I can do to improve?"
Simon: "Leave."
Priceless.

My personal favorite of the night was the juggler's T-shirt that said "Mean people Suck," which was appropriate attire for an audition in front of Simon. I was actually feeling sorry for the guy (was he a bit slow?) until he brought out the bad words outside.
