What I liked about Sinatra was he was the king of cool,” said Simon Cowell. It is no secret that Simon’s all time favorite singer is Frank Sinatra, and he keeps on harping about this on the show.

Meanwhile the Top 5 contestants of the show had a lot of trouble, when they were asked to sing Frank Sinatra’s songs, with the Harry Connick Jr.’s piano playing in the background. Out of the 3 contestants who had the hardest time on the show was Aaron Kelly who belongs to Sonestown. She was supposed to sing ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ and she made a thorough mess of it. Simon admonished her and said that, “If (Sinatra) was a lion, you were just a mouse.”
