Yes or no?

The problem is this - they turn mean to people who really aren't that bad. Maybe they wouldn't win, but if there's any talent there, the contestant should at least be given a "keep your chin up" rather than "you suck, get out of here and never sing again" as Simon is apt to do. Randy and Paula might throw out a few words of encouragement, but Simon is virtually incapable of calling a good performance good. I swear, that man hates almost all music.

Granted, some people deserve the smackdown, but some people get it unfairly.

AI is worse this year then I have ever seen. Granted they do say rude things every year, but this year takes the cake. Their were some people they should of let through and didn't. I don't like theway they treated some of the contestants. I can understand them saying something about their singing and voice, but not their appearance, that's just plain out wrong and disrespectful.

This whole thing with Howard Stern urging people to vote for Sanjaya. He can't sing as well as the others, yet he keeps on getting votes. It's ridiculous

Sometimes they can be mean BUT most of these people that try out think they CAN sing
