To make them even funnier you have to<br \/>\nsay them with a British accent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;We could have had breakfast, lunch, dinner, flew back to LA, come back<br \/>\nagain and you&#8217;d have still been singing that song, it&#8217;s like<br \/>\nnever-ending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;Sandie, I didn&#8217;t understand a word of that &#8230; literally [it was] like<br \/>\nsome language I&#8217;ve never heard in my life.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">Simon: &#8220;What normally happens when you sing in public, Deborah?&#8221;<br \/>\nDeborah: &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a few people cry.&#8221;<br \/>\nSimon: &#8220;I can believe that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;You sounded like Cher after she&#8217;s been to the dentist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;You are fabulous but it was the singing that was slightly<br \/>\noff-putting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;Unfortunately, not a note is in tune.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;I have got no idea what this show is any more. I&#8217;m serious. I&#8217;ve got<br \/>\nyou standing in front of me looking like some Easter Bunny nightmare<br \/>\nexperiment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;You look like one of those creatures that live in the jungle with<br \/>\nthose massive eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;What I wanted was apple pie on its own. Instead I&#8217;ve got apple pie and<br \/>\na gallon of cream on top.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure I would have chosen a song saying &#8216;I want to go home<br \/>\ntonight,&#8217; Elliott, not the smartest lyric in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;It&#8217;s like you&#8217;ve gone to Dolly Parton School the way you look<br \/>\ntonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">But he can also dish out compliments:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;You walk in here with no confidence and no attitude and yet you are a<br \/>\nbrilliant singer. . . . You are in the top 2% of good singers this<br \/>\nyear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;Alaina, I thought that was really, really, really great. I like you a<br \/>\nlot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mobile-post\">&#8220;I thought it was very good, excellent choice of song.
