American Idol flashback

I don't usually watch American Idol but earlier this season I tuned in to the Beatles episodes. This one moment has stuck out for me ever since as being extremely annoying.

Here, check out Jason Castro's performance of the Beatles' Michelle, pay particular attention to what Simon Cowell has to say about it:



I don't really understand why no one called Simon on the fact that the song as originally performed by the Beatles was sung in a mix of French and English. It's how the song is supposed to be sung, it's the whole point of the lyrics; "...I will sing the only words that you'll understand my Michelle." Because she's French. Jeez. Just pitiful (Not Mr. Castro, who does a decent enough job.)
