So, she must be genius, right? Because of Simon's genius comment to her, I now think she's genius. Yes, her copycat song that started in my living room was GEE-NEE-US. You can't deny it, because Simon said so. Vote for the genius Katie Waiseel to win the show; cos she's so genius!

What does he mean "genius" - did she write the songs and work out the choreography herself?

He didn't say she was genius. He said the choice of Help was genius because of the appropriateness of the lyrics.

If she had, she wouldn't be the first talent show contestant to do so.

So does that make Cheryl a genius?

She must be a genius, the way she's managed to survive where so many others have been chopped before.

An evil genius, most likely. No wonder Simon loves her. He's always wanted a protege. Kinda like the Sith.

No, Katie picked it and Cheryl was relieved as her familiarity with the Beatles catalogue is shockingly limited.

Well no, she obviously did not write the song herself. Nor did she work out the non-existant choreography herself. But Simon called her genius; so she must be, right?

Simon also said during auditions that Wagner is unique, entertaining and loveable. Now he thinks it's a disgrace that he's still there. So Simon may very well question Katie's IQ at a later stage.

Hmm, I seem to remember Simon himself saying that Katie's performance was genius. I don't think he talked about the choice of song or anything like that being genius.

Has Simon Cowell decieved me with his "genius" comment?

well obviously she didnt write the song, but maybe she looked up beatle songs on the internet, without cheryls help, maybe she even styled herself and knocked up that dress from an old pair of curtains.

Perhaps she even cut her own hair, and bought a hair dye from boots.

Theres obviously genuis under the surface, perhaps they dont want us to see how much, coz folks would be jealous

The cover of Katie is quite incredible.
The Beatles :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK0MVn4gxJs
Katie's cover : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86GLRR7YTuo

It's a boy band song.

Katie has done a really great job. Don't forget, she is a also a songwriter. She already written more than 10 songs.

Katie chose this song, not Cheryl. At first Simon think that's not a good choice. She knew what she is doing.

She must be a genius in some sort of a way.Hence why Simon and Louis keep saving/praising her. (Louis did mention something about a dressing room...)

Simon said it was "lyrically" genius. Who knows what that meant. Maybe he meant that the lyrics were very apt for Katie so picking it was genius? Not really genius in my book.

He also reckoned her 'I Wanna Be Like You' was genius. I found it awful.

Don't forget, she is a also a songwriter.
Btw, it's not a secret since the audition :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FhceE0gAns
Katie : "I'm singer songwriter .... I'm also a part time receptionnist ...".

Simon talks out of his backside these days so anything he says is rather pointless.

He has a couple of new soundbite catchphrases each season, and this year it's 'genius'. Last year included 'gobsmacked', and the year before that "I'm still reeling from that performance".

On the other hand, during this year's auditions he mentioned a number of times, as a negative, that someone was 'one dimensional'. He also said that of the girl band with the blonde mohawk lead singer and dancer who got through to his judge's house stage. I think he must've later decided he better stop saying that in case it became the new name for "1D"- One Direction.

But to actually, physically talk out of one's backside is pretty genius, if truth be known...so Cowell is a genius as well...Chavryl Cole is most obviously a genius for coming from a council estate, while Minogue has become famous for having no talent but does have a famous sister, so that must be a form of genius as well.

Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, George Best, Brendan Behan...all Irish and all geniuses...Louis Walsh is also Irish, so therefore must be a genuis as well...

Bloody hell, its like bloody MENSA up on that judging panel....
