Why does he " ... ( 7 months ago by MILLIEMAY1)
Why does he "generally" dislike Americans? & I don't really think that it bothers us that much what he says. I think that the Americans that he does bother, R the 1's that put theirself in the shoes of the person that is auditioning. I mean that person could be their child or their best friend. I mean there is a nice way of telling someone they suck & than there is Simon's way. But don't get me wrong, I like him & I think that it's all about ratings. PEACE!
To be honest ... ( 7 months ago by felang13)
To be honest americans 'generally' don't take critisim well and as a Brit simon is well known for saying it as it is,if that means telling a wannabe they are crap when they are ,why give them false hope .Spare the sentiment take the advice ,after all if you were good he would tell you also.Hes on record as finding american attitude to a lot of things very artificial.Hope this answers your question .
This is true, not ... ( 7 months ago by MILLIEMAY1)
This is true, not every American takes criticism well, but neither does many other people from other countries. & I don't think that Simon is ALWAYS right. He said that he did not like Kelly Clarkson & she ended up winning in the end. & he also has a habit of telling WOMEN they need to lose weight, but I don't hear him say it to MEN. Reuben is just 1 example. Y do U think that he thinks it's not alright for a woman to be overweight but be a good singer but it's alright for a man?
The pop idol thing ... ( 7 months ago by felang13)
The pop idol thing is a game and power contest between not only the contestants but the judges.Part of simons game plan is to always undermine his opposition so his act wins,and he will be offensive if needs be.. makes good entertainment. As for overweight ..come now if the contestant was too short he would fry them , image is king.

You R right it's a ... ( 7 months ago by MILLIEMAY1)
You R right it's a game because in the real singers world image is not all that important.Look @ Eminem.He's a foul mouthed person who writes songs about killing his wife.But that does not stop people from buying his music.When we listen to a song on the radio we R focusing on the music not on what the singer looks like.Image only counts on these shows because they R constantly being seen.& some people forget that it's a SINGING competition & vote 4 them just because they like the way they look.

OMG how can you ... ( 4 months ago by wicklekell)
OMG how can you people say you dislike simon, there is nothing to dislike about him. he is honest with the contents n even if you americans dont like the put downs, at least he aint gonna give you false hope n let you make a fool of yourself on stage in front of millions of people,personally i would rather take an insult from 1 person rather than insults from millions. as a brit i have to come to his defense how can u say he is not talented, if thats the case why would he be worth
£100 million??

Hey Wait, I'm an ... ( 4 months ago by MILLIEMAY1)
Hey Wait, I'm an American & I never said that I dislike Simon. I'm sure Simon was probably cursed out by alot of british contestants on your show also. I know he's honest. It's just that his honesty does'nt always come in a pretty package. & just because that contestant did'nt make it to the Big Stage yet, does not mean that they were not being watched by millions of people, because they were. But don't get me wrong, I think Simon can be hysterical. I don't have a problem w/him.
