I have to say though, I was impressed with his comments earlier in the night, since his judgement was spot on. But instead of gloating about it and then not acknowledging how good a performance that was, he should have dealt with the situation better. But that's Simon Cowell for you.

It was just amazing. Her live show performance earlier showed she's versatile, but now she has proven that - she needs to be unique again.

Cowell is often right with his comments because people vote based on his comments a lot of the time. He has more power than people think because he is respected. What he showed tonight was that people should challenge his idea's more, because some of them are wrong.

I don't think the problem with Ruth's first performance had anything to do with singing in spanish, it had more to do with the fact she started out weakly and lost the audience and although she ended strongly it was too late. And that is understandable given she was throwing up in the morning and must still have been shaky.

I agree he did gloat on the situation and he did handle it badly. He knew Girlband weren't as good as Ruth in both performances, and I sure he had an idea Ruth would survive. He wanted to teach her a lesson.

That is horrible, it is a form of bullying and shows what he can really be like.
