On Feb 22/07 Ryan Seacrest rudely dismissed Quincy Jones and cut him off at the pass. Ryan asked Quincy a question and when the Icon great who is toasted as a musical genius started to respond, Ryan abruptly cut him off.
Ryan may want to look at Quincy Jones musical and entertainment contribution:
Quincy Jones's musical contribution has spanned over five (count them Ryan) five decades! In those five decades he covered numerous genres including R & B, Jazz, Pop, Rock and Roll, Hip Hop, Brazilian Alternative to name a few and has fathered and birthed over 1600 musical titles! In the 1950's Quincy he began arranging and recording for future Icon greats and stars, artists such as Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dinah Washington and Cannonball Adderly, Frank Sinatra to name a few.
Quincy Jones greatness did not stop just at music, it expanded to films, television and launching careers and has teamed up with high profile legendary producers like Steven Spielberg!
Quincy Jones is the all-time most nominated Grammy artist with a total of 77 nominations and 26 winning Grammy’s. He has won an Emmy, seven Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and The Grammy Living Legend Award. He is also the recipient of honorary doctorates from Howard University, the Berkelee College of Music, Seattle University, Wesleyan University, Brandeis University, Loyola University (New Orleans), Clark Atlanta University, Claremont University's Graduate School, the University of Connecticut, Harvard University, Tuskeegee University, New York University, University of Miami and The American Film Institute.

FYI Ryan, Icon great Stevie Wonder once said that Mr. Quincy Jones is a musical ambassador of the world! While many others of legendary status has said he is a musical genius.
I would recommend to the producers of AI and Ryan Seacrest, that the next time you start speaking to a high status artist, you RESPECT THEM! AND ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR LEGENDERY GREATNESS!
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME RYAN HAS DONE THIS! If you compare Ryan's success to Icon Great musical genius Quincy Jones it is incomparable!
Further I would have like to hear what Mr. Jones had to say! It was profoundly rude, one couldn't help but notice because Ryan is not known for his subtleness but rather his poor choices in clothing and his bad jokes. In short if Ryan Seacrest can't handle the greatness of some of the stars that come on American Idol, then get a stand in host! that can handle it. I am pretty confident that an Icon great that is legend like Quincy Jones has earned the respect that is awarded to musicians that have contributed greatness to the music we all listen to and enjoy today!
