If you break down when one person calls you a bad singer how are you going to react when there's "I hate X" websites.
This guys money is BMG's money for promotting the winner and cutting a CD he is not putting up the cash for the whole show. Bad behaviour is no excuse and this is premeditated behaviour. Most of these people have never performed in front of an audience or auditioned so being castigated on national TV is just an act of cruelty. I don't think, given peoples reactions, that they were aware of what they were in for from this "bad guy" character. Even seasoned performers have broken down at somepoint in their careers or still get stage fright so reacting badly or not handling criticism at a first performance isn't a good indication of anything.
