I’m not suggesting any conspiracy or anything, but Taylor just starts with no intro and Ryan doesn’t even acknowledge that was on stage at all? No, “Taylor Hicks, everybody!” Kinda weird.

They do seem to diss him, don't they? supposedly he sings a medly later, we'll see. For Cowell claiming to be such an astute businessman, he sure goes about it in a strange way. He's done nothing but bad mouth Hicks ever since he won. Seems like a strange way to promote your product. Kind of like selling beef steaks and claiming they are tough and full of gristle and wondering why sales are low.

LOL!! You are too right. “Hey, buy this even though it sucks hardcore! You’re sure to be disappointed!”
