Why the hell does Simon think broadway performers are of lower status than pop performers?

So many of the pop performers nowadays use pitch correction while broadway performers sing without anything and sing every single night eight shows a week.

Simon needs to get that stick out of his ass.

Sorry, I had to rant

Wow this is unbelievable...I hope she goes on broadway..Though Cook sang music of the night really well, Syesha definately got the broadway feel down.

OMG Syesha looks like a black Carrie Underwood! Am I right or am I right?

@greenelphiexoxo Good call! I'd like to see anyone in the pop world try to run a Broadway schedule without DYING in the process. Pop is overrated.
