That is really sickening. I mean: Garrett didn't have a chance anyway, so why sabotage his one moment to express himself? I mean, I know being on TV is not that big of a deal, but he went through a lot to get on this show and deserved at least a humane putting-down. So first having no control over song choice AND THEN Simon lets into him and ridicules him on national tv! Beef companies treat cattle better.

It's par for the course for Idol to screw people over and send them home. But this is worse than that. Remember, Simon BURIED this kid in his comments. He went out of his way to humiliate Garrett, and Garett just took it and smiled.
Garett is a winner in my book, and it's just a bonus that he doesn't have to endure any further garbage treatment from Idol.

Agreed. Garrett showed maturity and grace in handling the bullshit Nigel and co. put him in. I'm voting extra hard this season just because of this.

i am furious over this and have come over to the dark side-haha-he seems to have been sabotaged
simon's remarks to him seemed to come out of left field also
and this song was not even the 60s version of the song
the slow tempo was done by sedaka in the 70s
i just wish he was picked by your site (even though 99% of the guys are worse than him)so we could have kept him on till the end!!
keep up the good work VFTW!!!!

That's a shame. He really did get a raw deal. You guys should try to get Garrett to come on the radio show, and talk about the experience. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Forcing a contestant to sing a song they really don't want to in order to get a shoddy performance out of them...hmmm, why am I not surprised??

AND it should be noted: "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" was obviously chosen as AN EXIT SONG (an exit from a relationship, an exit from the show).

Why am I surprised? Treating people like shit is nothing new to Idol. This is just another example that the fix is in! Wake up and smell the dung heap America!
