Has anyone purchased Simon's book "I Dont Mean To Be Rude But"? If not, it's a really good book. I pretty much got done reading with it in a day. Its 245 pages, and has some interesting facts about American Idol. He gives his opinion on each of the top 10/12 finalists of each season. He talks about who the makeup people didnt like... and who was nice, who took in things personally, and who's parents were annoying.

here are some facts:

-Josh and him had a discussion about his "style" change, and Simon didnt like the way Josh was answering him
-he thought Kimberley Locke was technically the best vocalist in season 2
-Ryan Starr remains one of his favorite contestants
-RJ Helton's Mom didnt like Simon
-He loved Julia DeMato's parents

Some things he touches on:
-how he didnt like Brian Dunkleman
-how he was scared that Ruben and Clay werent gonna be in the finals together
-his top 5 performances and bottom 5 performances
-how he didnt like Jim Verraros
-how Kelly didnt like "A Moment Like This" when she first looked at it.
