Simon Cowell to Melinda Dolittle at her audition: 
Melinda, we have a lot of people who come in here with a lot of attitude and a lot of confidence, and they’re not very good. You walk in with no confidence, no attitude, and yet you are a brilliant singer...a brilliant singer. Seriously, you know you are what it’s all about, a great voice. I’m concerned about the lack of confidence, about the fact that you’ve been in the background, but let me tell you, you are in the top two percent of good singers this year.
