Simon Cowell knows best. Nicole Scherzinger just has to admit she only got it right with Stacy because Simon actually gave her directions. With that said, I believe Stacy is a great singer, but she is not exactly what America expects an X-Factor winner to be. Or is she?

L.A. Reid said Stacy is getting better every week. Paula Abdul thought she just witnessed a real magical moment. Simon bragged and demanded a kiss from Stacy, before saying gospel is what she should have been doing from the start.

Nicole Scherzinger pointed out this should not be about Simon being right, and threw up some more of her verbatim: “epitome of grace”, “poise and beauty”, yadda, yadda, yadda.
