    I remember him. He had a very 'Sweet' Demeanor on the show. I remember Simon giving him a hard time. May God Bless them both.

    Who cares. He's a nobody wanna be. That show is rigged anyway and has nothing to do with talent.

    Is the correct term "twittered" or "tweeted"?

    US, are you making cutbacks? Couldn't you get us a wedding photo? Or at least a photo of them together, not a wedding one? Or at the very least, a photo of her, so we could at least see who he has married? Wassup?
