if you have read the Straits Times, you would have seen the
article on how Simon make remarks (positive this time) that could
have (I am sure it did) influence the voters. Either way, the
number of callers will generate cashflow -- except that it is going
the direction that Simon (and his producers, I guess) wants. At the
end of the competition, it is a money thing -- who is more
marketable and manageable, and have mass appeal. So at somepoint
during the contest, it is all about $$ and not talent. That what I
think, anyway. To each his own javascript:emoticon('
