Simon Cowell (sp?) American Idol
2005-02-24, 8:34 PM #1
Is it just me, or is he that man you love to hate?

Honestly he's absolutely irritating, and yet he's oddly hot. I have the weirdest taste in men. I could totally see me fighting with him and then kissing him! haha ooo lordy!

I mean I'd never like him taking an extreme to me, but just his honesty sometimes it's refreshing. Sometimes brutal truth is needed, sometimes he can tone it down but still. I'm oddly attracted to that man...what the hey who

Anyways you all agree right? He's the kind of guy you love to hate? Or do you all just hate him? Your thoughts on Simon?



Edit: I think I am attracted to him cuz he speaks his mind and his confidence is hawt. but it's that blunt honesty that kinda takes u like woah, I cant believe he just said that, but then you know he's suddenly grabbed your attention

The only reason you even tolerate him is because he's British.

In the original Pop Idol, Cowell himself was..well, distinctly average. He wasn't interesting, he wasn't funny, and he didn't stir up much of anything. No, it was Pete Waterman that really made the panel, mostly because he actually knows a lot about what was talking about, something that seems distinctly lacking from the spinoff 'American Idol' panel. Unless they've changed it since I last saw it.. Cowell, some big fat black guy, and some washed up singer woman?

Yeah it's the sexy british accent. lol

I honestly don't give a rat's ***.

On a side note though, he doesn't "speak his mind," he speaks whatever will make him more money.

I don't watch American Idol and I don't care one way or the other about Simon Cowell. I like some of the impressions done of him though, like the one Carlos Alasomething(guy who plays Officer Garcia in Reno 911) does of him.

There's that one time where he insulted someone after their audition and the kid went and dumped a glass of water on him. That was great. :D

I don't watch (or care about) American Idol. But when he is in ads and other shows, that annoys me greatly.

Simple Mathematics.

Reality TV = TEH SUX
Everyone who participates in Reality TV = TEH SUX
Those people should be shot.
Simon participates in Reality TV.
Thus, Simon should be shot.


I think they're all a bunch of freaking morons. The whole lot of them. I can't stand reality tv at all. Hell, I can hardly stand NORMAL tv anymore.

Simon is awesome! I wish I could tear people down with a few words like he does :D
I usually only watch the early audition shows, and only just to see him cut people down to size. Half the people who try to get onto the show really should get some professional help, and I don't mean singing lessons. You would think people who try out for the show would have watched previous seasons and seen what is likely to happen when they suck. Just my opinion.

Did you see Scary Movie 3?

I like that he tells the people who suck that they suck. He's really shattered some people's fantasies.

I love reality TV in that it makes a lot of money, because it is so cheap, quick and easy to make - money that can be spent on making good programmes.

I dont' think it's the fact that he has no clue what he's talking about. Because, he does. He's produced a lot of good albums. People are always like "SIMON IS MEAN WRAAA!". When really, he's not afraid to tell people that they suck. Of anybody, Simon would know who is American Idol material. I still hate the show though :). Just like most people, I only watch the early auditions.

If he really knew what he was doing, he wouldn't have to sell himself on....well, everything. He's appeared in Scary Movie 3, Shrek 2, Cupid, X Factor, Pop Stars, Pop Idol, American Idol, World Idol, various 'makeover' and countless interview and 'chat' programmes. Music producers make huge amounts of money, and if Cowell knew what he was doing he really wouldn't have to become yet another generic celebrity.

He isn't some 'music guru', he's a dropout. He turned down Take That, the Spice Girls and Robby Williams, all of which ended up being huge.

But sometimes some of those people needed it. I mean, if you can't sing and look the part (it's so sad that's even a factor in it) why bother go on the show to get torn apart by the man?

I like him, don't hate him. He amuses me >_>

lol yeah, well I've always liked how british men sound. It's an accent I've always liked.

And then with that guy from louisiana he was just adorable. I think I liked the accent with the person. Cuz it looked so cute on him. and when he said "I just got that Louisiana in me" (and the big smile) it was just too adorable lol

I actually went and tried out for American Idol when it was in NYC last year. It was great fun.... the sun beaming upon us, food vendors everywhere, people singing (not all that great) and the smell of toliet reeked its torture through the air, but over all i had a great time. I slept on the street for 2 days. WOW I never thought that would be exciting, but i guess it depends on how you do it. I prefer a sleeping bag and a pillow under the sky, which you couldn't really see anything because of the massive builldings and all the lights. So...really there was no sky, just a sea of darkness above. But it was fun.

a friend of mine has this guy she's known her whole life on this AI. I'd never watched the show in the past. I've just been watching to see if he makes it through. If you all know who "David" is, that's her friend since she was little. Thus far he's still in the competition. It's the only reason I'm watching this season, cuz i've never been a big American Idol fan.

Neither have I, I morely went as a spoof. I sang a song about chinese food because I wanted to be on tv. I just wanted to say something to Simon but my efforts were for nothing.

Did you ever think when you ate chinese, it aint pork or chicken but a fat siamese? The food tastes great so you don't complain, but thats not chicken in your chicken chow-mein. I think I'll order some sweet and sour pork but Garfields on my fork. He's purring there on my fork.

Alas, they did not. They said your not what were looking for. I was saddened but I moved on. No see the thing is they can only choose a certain number of people a day, so its rigged. It's all a matter of luck. Not whether your good or not. If your good you move on to the next round but if your bad and you get through the first 3 rounds then your more of a publicity stunt, merely to amuse the morons of America. No offense America but we are a bunch of morons.

haha, no offense taken, and I agree. That sux you didnt make it through, but at least you had some fun with it.

I've never watched the show before, but I know many friends who are hooked to it. I'm just watching to see if her friend David will make it. thus far he's in the top 20 and simon hasnt said anything bad about him....woah. lol

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peiking Moon a place where I eat everyday at noon. They can fry your cat and they'll never know once they wrap it up in dough boy theyll fry it real crisp in dough.

Chou Lin asked if I wanted more as he was dialing up his buddy at the old pet store. I said not today I lost my appetite, theres 2 cats in my belly and they want to fight. I was sucking on a rollie and a tums or 2 when i swear i heard it mew boy and that is when I knew.

There's really not a "British accent". The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland accents are all vastly different for a start. Not to mention there are accents from places just a hundred miles away or so that I can't understand in the slightest. A thick Yorkshire dialect is really hard to understand.
