Trivia:
Edgar Nova, who unsuccessfully auditioned for Season 2 twice (once in Miami and once in Los Angeles), appeared yet again, this time at the New York auditions for Season 3. Though the judges said that they admired Nova's tenacity, with 'Simon Cowell ' even shaking hands with him, his audition was once again unsuccessful. moreFAQ

It seems that there aren't many half way points in the comments I've read so far. Either people love it or they hate it. I like it, but certainly don't love it. For one thing, there's Simon. When Simon makes harsh comments about singing, he is usually right, and it doesn't bug me. I am, however, bugged when he says "Your voice was o.k., but you're too fat; you need to lose weight." It seems he always have to have something to insult the contestents about. It's a singing contest, not a weight contest. He also always says something like "No offence" or "Don't take this personally, but". If he's going to say something bad about them he's going to offend them, plain and simple. Telling them they can't sing is o.k., but he shouldn't try to make excuses for his opinion. However, I like this show, too. I really liked watching "The Best and The Worst." It was really funny watching some of the contestants, like that one guy who aditioned twice, and told 7 billion lies. O.k., time to finish up my little spiel, I give this show 7/10. ~Megan :)
