Simon Cowell is to entertainment what burger places are to good food. Good job they are on commercial tv and not paid for out of a licence fee.
American Idol is a hundred times better that the rubbish over here. The X Factor is just a chance for teenagers to vote for the cute looking guys and talent really has nothing to do with it. At least with Idol the standard of singing is much higher. Saying that, it still sucks.
Its been a hit for years dude. Simon fucking cowell rips those contestants a new one. Breaks em in to honest criticism. Its hilarious to watch because you think about how long they have been singing, and nobody told them the truth. This guy has no hesitation, he even throws in some cheeky british humor, what isn't to like about the guy. I mean sure hes an asshole, but some asshole's have a good funny bone, hes one of em. Yes the actual talent on the show is ridiculous, because their being dead serious. But hey, what can you do. Just watch CSI or Spike or House or something that works a bit better for ya.
