American idol’s Jacob Lusk was eliminated this week after being in the bottom a few weeks in a row. In this industry you have to develop a thick skin, but people’s feelings still get hurt….is Jimmy Lovine trying to help the contestants with his comments or just taking Simon Cowell’s place in the mean department?

So how sis Jacob really feel about Jimmy’s comments,

I wouldn’t call it soul destroying, but it definitely hurts a lot to have someone who is supposed to be mentoring me, and it feels like every time you turn around, [he] is kind of tearing you down. But what you have to remember is that you’re actually not doing it for him, but you are doing it for the people out there in America and they are the people who are voting. It definitely hurts and it’s definitely hard to have someone beat you over the head with a baseball bat and then say, ‘Now go ahead and sing for your life.’
