Simon Cowell Brings Jasmine Trias To Tears

During Tuesday night’s ‘American Idol’, Simon Cowell’s stinging comments brought Hawaiian Jasmine Trias to tears, when he told her, “Jasmine, you’d better hope that every home in Hawaii has at least five telephones, you’ll need all the votes you can get.” Ryan Seacrest tried to comfort Jasmine during the show, but admitted to us that he was caught off guard. “That’s the first time that someone’s broken down after the critique, while we’re giving the phone numbers,” Seacrest told us. “I think the intensity of this competition at this stage just got to her.”
