Simon is not angry with Nicole but I am. She's a judge. She's there for a reason. If she can't hack it then leave. It was a very, very easy decision last night and if you didn't feel that it was an easy decision then look at the track record.
Rachel Crow and Marcus Canty were in the bottom two. Marcus has been in the bottom two for weeks now. Marcus has a rather low fan-base out there and Rachel had a bad night. A bad night that sent her home, because Nicole couldn't muster up the courage to vote for someone without feeling and looking like a bad guy. Well, she ended up looking like a complete douchebag. She thought by leaving it up to America that Rachel would be safe and she didn't have to speak up and kick Marcus off the show. Well, it ended badly.
Rachel was ridiculously upset, which I knew she would be. That much pressure every week on a naive and innocent 13 year old is bound to have it's repercussions. Her mother had to rush on stage to calm her down. Her heart might be broken now and she might have thought for one second that her life was over but she will get a record deal. I knew she was going home but I didn't think it was going to be until next week (same with Drew but that's neither here nor there). Anyways, it is what it is and now that I've gotten out the fact that Nicole is a douchebag, I feel a lot better. Marcus was not better than Rachel. They looked at his talent in a different light and I am not saying he doesn't have talent, I am saying he doesn't have the talent that the rest of the semi-finalists have and that includes Rachel.
Well, here's hoping that next week is different and fair and Nicole gets her finger out of her nose.
