I think with Melanie, L.A. Reid basically screwed her up by making her lose weight and go into hiding. With Tate, Simon basically knew he wasn't going to be a success, so he made sure Emblem3 and Fifth Harmony got signed. And that plan is working since:
Emblem3 is touring with Selena Gomez
Fifth Harmony is touring with Cher Lloyd
and Tate Stevens seems to only be performing at county fairs according to his twitter.
Not to mention, Emblem3's album debuted 11 spots higher than Tate's and Fifth Harmony will most likely debut higher with their album as well.
This situation is almost identical to what happened on the UK version of X Factor when Matt Cardle won. Simon got One Direction signed and now they are a worldwide success unlike Matt. Cher Lloyd also made it over to the states and got a Top 15 hit and I'm sure her song with T.I. will be hot and successful as well.
Simon knows what he is doing.
