本季美国偶像最后有一个特别为Simon准备的tribute session，Paula回来了，舞台上那一席话真切感人。

随后的一段视频剪辑中，插曲是经典名曲My Way，经常用在分别的场所，作为告别曲演唱。

Simon一手创造的美声跨界团体Il Divo也曾经翻唱过这首歌。

值得一提的是，最后大家合唱的那首歌，Together We Are One，是澳大利亚歌手Delta Goodrem演唱的，写这首歌的是她男朋友Brian McFadden，而Brian就是Simon一手栽培起来的爱尔兰男子组合Westlife的前成员，后来单飞了。

My Way歌词：And now, the end is near;现在，我的末日将近，And so I face the final curtain.

面临人生的最后落幕，My friend, I'll make it clear,我的朋友，我要说个清楚，I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

向你讲述我的人生之路。

I've lived a life that's full.

我活过一个充实的人生，I've traveled each and every highway;我经历过每一段路途，And more, much more I did,而更重要的是，I did it my way.

我用自己的方式。

Regrets, I've had a few;遗憾，也有一些吧，But then again, too few to mention.

算不上多，不值一提。

I did what I had to do我做了该做的一切，And saw it through without exemption.

洞悉世事，不求赦免。

I planned each charted course;我规划过每一段人生，Each careful step along the by way,每一个细微的脚步，and more, much more than this,而更重要的是，I did it my way.

我用自己的方式。

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew是的，你知道有些时候，When I bit off more than I could chew.

我曾背负不能承受之重，But through it all, when there was doubt,但自始至终，就算充满疑惑，I ate it up and spit it out.

我还是克服困难战胜了它。

I faced it all and I stood tall;我挺直身躯，勇敢面对，And did it my way.

用我自己的方式。

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.

我曾经爱过，笑过，哭过，I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.

我曾经满足，也曾经失落，And now, as tears subside,现在，当泪水慢慢沉淀，I find it all so amusing.

我发现原来可以一笑置之。

To think I did all that;想到我所做过的一切，And may I say - not in a shy way,我可以说，毫不羞愧地说，No, oh no not me,我没有虚度，I did it my way.

我用自己的方式。

For what is a man, what has he got?

男人究竟是什么，拥有什么？

If not himself, then he has naught.

除了自己，我们一无所有。

To say the things he truly feels;说出心里最真实的感受，And not the words of one who kneels.

而不是那些身不由己的话。

The record shows I took the blows -时间证明，我经受住了磨难，And did it my way!

用我自己的方式！

Yes, it was my way.

没错，这就是我的方式。
