Simon had been telling him for weeks that his performance was sub-par and not worthy of the show, and that America was keeping him on it.
Then, when asked by Ryan Seacrest if he thought he deserved to still be there, he kept saying "Yes of course"...
Chalk it up to being immature maybe, but what he should have said was that he took Simon's words to heart and will do his best to improve.
American Idol is becoming a joke anyway. I hope this is the last season.
