The King of Inappropriate

In a results show full of bizarre moments, one real head-scratcher came after Simon nicely explained to Carly Smithson that his suggestions the previous evening about her appearance were intended helpfully. Then Ryan Seasurge inserted himself in the discussion, saying, "Uh, there's a line. Let's not cross it." Implying that Simon was getting too personal.

Then a few minutes later, Idol's model of professionalism, Ryan, greeted Dolly Parton on stage, saying, "Thank you, beautiful, Or should I say, hot!"

The night beofre he said to Kristy Lee Cook, apropos of nothing, "I love your French pedicure!"

The fact is, Ryan, there is a line. And nearly everything that comes out of your mouth that isn't scripted for you on the Teleprompter, crosses over that line.

So what else happened? Ramiele Maulubay, the Philippina pixie, got the shaft. No surprise there.  We're still in the dead wood cutting portion of the finals. She never had a chance to win this thing. There are a handful of promising performers this year and she was clearly not one of them. Talented, yes, but without a shred of charisma.

Hey, take away the talent and she could be Ryan.
