RJ Helton Says Simon May Help Him Become Star

Extra TV has a video clip of the latest ‘American Idol’ contestant to be ousted, RJ Helton. While Helton had been hurt by criticism of Simon Cowell, he admits that Mr. Nasty may help him become a star. “I think he really did help me quite a bit. A lot of this made me better.” Ari Karpell from TV Guide added, “I think there are two reasons people watch the show: the contestants and Simon.”
