Having watched it last year and again this year I think having the parents backstage is a total mistake. When Patrick's dad came out to 'defend' his clothing style, I felt bad for the kid. This is about the individuals, not the family.
Simon rocks. So what if he's rude? These people have more than likely had their asses kisses to death by their family and friends (and Paula Abdul) and having a total stranger give their honest opinion about them is refreshing. So he didn't like Patrick's outfit. Big deal, he's a judge. Besides, its the public that votes in the end.
