Simon's Kind Words to Antonella Barba

On Wednesday's Idol, Simon Cowell gave Antonella Barba props for her fortitude in the midst of the media circus, if not for her singing. "I feel for you because you've taken a lot of stick in the media, and you've handled yourself well. I don't think anyone should be thrown into that situation." That said, Simon expressed his doubt that Antonella would survive this week's vote, shrugging, "I just wish you could sing better."
