They all hate each other deep down, but they're not gonna say it on camera. Ask Kelly how many congratulation e-mails she got from the other contestants. Probably zero. But that's the music business. In a positive way, I like that. I like the fact that people enter the show because they might win.
I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.
Music should always be polarizing. What one person likes, somebody else hates. And I hate that kind of snobbery in pop music. The fact that so many people are getting upset over this one song is hysterical. And if people like it, that's great.
You don't hate the mosquito; you just want it out of your face.
I hate belongings. I hate clutter. It really bothers me because I can't think properly. If you've got distractions in front of you, your mind goes nuts.
We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.
I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.
We're proud, we're happy, and it's nice that she remembers the show as well.
I would be careful. You've got to be entertaining.
Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals. The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks).
Look, she doesn't need to thank me and she doesn't need to thank American Idol. She does need to thank the fans who voted for her on American Idol. That's all.
One or two haven't got a cats-in-hell chance, like the kid with the glasses.
No one really has any job security anymore, including myself.
