American Idol - Simon Cowell Appreciation #2: You know you love his brutal honesty - Page 2

Yeah like the title says, we do love his criticisms, most judges go easy on really bad performances, and more often than not, they are amusing

And I don't actually watch it but I think he was way more mellow on X-Factor.

I watched X-Factor USA and I agree that he went easier on the contestants.

Yeah, I agree with you guys. It's his thing to be a strict judge and he did seem more mellow on the X Factor.

And deep down he is a softie when it comes to his kid and dogs.

It's nice to see

Sometimes he went overboard on Idol, but mostly he was just being [brutally] honest.

Margo

Simon is now going to be on AGT.

Thanks for the news! He loves reality shows apparently.

MargoK · 01-13-2016, 07:39 AM

I have a feeling he won't be as hard on these contestants, though, but I'm sure he'll still come up with some "interesting" comments!

I agree, I think he has mellowed since his days on Idol.

MargoK · 01-15-2016, 07:21 AM

I miss Simon as I watch this last season of Idol.

I'm sure the contestants appreciate the more mellow bit

LOL! I think he made a lot of them cry!

Yeah, I think the contestants appreciate it too, I bet they'd rather not cry.

From the American Idol panel at the Television Critics Association tour on Friday:

Quote:

“There are huge scheduling issues” says Idol executive producer Kinane regarding Simon Cowell’s return. “The most we can expect is him at the finale.” (Simon will be busy with his new gig at America’s Got Talent.)

I really hope he will be at the finale!
