I can't touch Simon anymore.

If you asked Simon now, I don't think he could call who's going to win this season. It's a dead heat. Besides, Simon just got lucky!

I grew up in Baton Rouge and learned to be a musician down there [in New Orleans]. I call it the only city in America that has its own brand of music.

It's going to be all my brothers, but that's a work in progress. We're having our creative meetings right now. I'm really excited. My brothers are like my idols.

Greensboro, N.C., was an eye-opener. Of course, Clay and Fantasia came from Carolina. They're not as affected as New York and Los Angeles, where they watch too much VH1 and MTV and mimic that.

The theory is that Mariah Carey can sing anything. You hear that expression, 'She can sing the phone book.' So if you can really sing, you should be able to sing anything, so we're testing them. That's the whole competition.

To American idol Contestants:

Let's just say definitely look out for the outfits, because I think people are just getting a little crazy

You get a shot at bat when you win this. You've won the competition. You've got the prize. Now you've got to make a great record. That's the hardest thing for all of them, because I don't think all of them have made great records.
Randy Jackson
You were right where you were supposed to be, singing the right song that could be on the radio right now
