He's good. It's a talent he has, it really is
I almost always agree with him. Even when he criticized Taylor, he was right
to some extent. (eg., "Country Roads"

) Once you get the gist of what he likes and doesn't like, you can always guess how he's going to judge a performance. He didn't like when Taylor rocked, when Chris screamed, country music, when Kat sang upbeat, or anything about Bucky. He likes cute blonde girls and supermodel hunky guys and everyone else just has to work extra hard. See, he's predictable.
