I agree very much with Suzi, very tasteless Nigel!!! I do believe he did something similar last year as well, but he did apologize at the finale. I think he was telling America who to vote for. I really do like Chehon as a trained dancer,but for Cyrus to reach the finales as a non-dancer is unbelievable considering the talents he was facing. I felt Cyrus' pain when he made that inconsiderate statement. America will speak and I hope Cyrus will gain ascendancy through strength or superiority. Love Me Some Cyrus....
Suzi Pounds - 12 years ago
It was really a great show last night, but I could not believe Nigel's comment to Cyrus at the end of the program. I watched Cyrus audition at the beginning of the season --- and to witness what he has achieved during the past few weeks is nothing short of miraculous. He has mastered every technique thrown at him and has maintained the most humble & sweet personality during the process. There is no doubt in my mind but what he has earned the right to be among the top 4; but to hear Nigel calmly make it known that he would be voting for Chehon based on his many years of dance training pretty much left me sick to my stomach. Following the tremendous response to the final 'animation' routine, Cyrus looked quite frankly like he'd been punched in the stomach when Nigel announced his voting preferences. It was unkind, unnecessary and completely out of line. I can only hope that someone with more influence than one arrogant judge managed to put him in his place after the program ended.
