Ex-'Idol' Contestant: Cowell Unhelpful
Bucky Covington, the latest contestant voted off "American Idol," says the comments of judge Simon Cowell are no longer helpful.

"It seems like he used to give advice, but now he doesn't give advice as he does try to put you down," said Covington, 28, a country singer from Rockingham.

On Tuesday, Covington sang a version of rock band Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls." Cowell called his performance "mediocre." The following night, Covington was booted off the Fox network show.

Covington said Cowell will never like singers like himself or contestant Taylor Hicks.

(Uh, Simon Cowell "doesn't give advice as he does try to put you down"??? I thought the boy might've done better if he enunciated, but maybe there's a reason he slurs all of his words after all.)
