Randy: "Dawg, you've got an album out, dawg?"

Antony: "Two. And an EP."

Simon: "Who on earth ... ?"

Antony: "Bj�rk is a fan. I've performed with her. Lou Reed likes me."

Simon: "Neither can sing. So anyway, Antony. It's a no from me. Randy?"

Randy: "Naw, dawg. It was weird, dawg."

Simon: "New chick?"

New chick: "I've written and produced songs for Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Santana and Pink, just to name a few."

Simon: "Good God. We know. Paula?"

Paula: "I'd like to hear more."

Simon: "Wha ... why?"

Paula: "I like him, Simon, and I am entitled to my opinion! It's a smoky, thick, sexy voice. It's like a creepy cabaret-chic. I think, as New York Magazine said, it evokes an "almost mythic personal loneliness," which is something I identify with. And I like that you look different, Anthony. I like that you're doing something out there. What else you have for us, Anthony? Something we might know?"

Antony: "I did a cover of Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love' on tour stops in Dalhalla, Sweden, Istanbul and Italy. I performed it at the Apollo too and it went over great. Fans loved it."

Randy: "Wowww. Dude. You're like the real deal, huh, dawg?"

Simon: "I will not have you butcher Beyonce in my presence. Sing your original again and I'll try not to cut you off."

Antony [singing]: "Still have too many dreams/ Never seen the light/ I need another world/ A place where I can go/ I'm gonna miss the sea/ Gonna miss the snow/ Gonna miss the bees/ Miss the things that grow/ I'm gonna miss the trees/ I'm gonna miss miss the sun/ I'll miss the animals/ I'm gonna miss you all."

Simon walks out. Paula cries. Randy says "dawg" twice. Fin.

“ive been so freakin bored with the two latest shows. for one reason. they keep edit paula out and i dont enjoy the show when shes not active. i almost hope ratings will go down so that producers learn their lesson. i also feel the new judge needs to go and almost all fans agree with me. ”
