Simon should recuse himself and quit Idol..he has ulterior motives and therefore cannot be objective!

On 24 Mar 2008, JM wrote: Simon is right, Taylor and Kat are not mainstream enough to be profitable in the current state of the industry. Chris and Elliott were the standouts of their season. I don’t think Kat is going to have much of an acting career either, there’s is no buzz in the industry about her and her one upcoming starring role is her husband’s indie film and he’s a relative nobody.

On 7 Mar 2008, Brenda Nelson wrote: I rather like Simon Cowell and think if it wasn’t for him Idol would be a boring if not painful show. He is there to be honest and he is usually right. And if the contestants can’t take it in the right way as constructive critisim then they’re the ones on the wrong track. Taking what Simon has to say and incorporating that into their performance and a chance of a lifetime. Hey Simon keep up the great work.

On 12 Feb 2008, Jeff wrote: This man is a loser of a human being… He’s probably the #1 reason why I WON’T be watching Idol again this season. Plus the fact that they NEVER properly resolved the voting system. The ONLY intelligent person on the panel is Paula, sans her “Kooky” behavior. Randy is a “Nice” guy, but NOT that bright. Simon is actually kind of “stupid”, especially emotionally and really has NO business judging a MUSIC copetition! He just happened to get “Lucky” in the lottery of life. I wish he’d go packing back to the U.K. with that other piece of human “debris”, Ann Robinson? ( “Weakest Link” ). Why the “Sheeple” keep on worshiping this guy is beyond me.

On 9 Feb 2008, jan wrote: Simon is deluded and so not the musical genius he wishes he were. Does he not realize he’s disparaging the very product he’s supposedly trying to sell? He’s only sour that, time & again, he’s been proven wrong about what generates true success (i.e. KELLY, CLAY, JENNIFER HUDSON, etc.). And what he proposes we listen to? Il Divo? Please! They’re lackluster, boring, a total snoozefest. Give it up, Simon. Stick to the caustic banter with Ryan, Randy & Paula. That’s what you’re best at… and we all know it.

On 9 Feb 2008, Denise wrote: American Idol is just a way for talent to be discovered because talent doesnt always get noticed by record companies. The real contest is when your first album comes out and first sale records are made. Daughtry made history in the record industry and he didnt even win. These 3 will find their niche in life no matter what they do in the end.

On 9 Feb 2008, Jenn wrote: Simon may be a jerk, but I tend to agree with most of his opinions. He knows what sells. Kat is beautiful and seems like a nice person, but along with Clay and Taylor she makes music that I’d never actually spend my money on.

On 9 Feb 2008, Dani wrote: Wow! Simon never ceases to amaze with his inappropriate comments! Kat is amazing and it’s beyond me how some people can’t see that. Just spend some time listening to her voice with your eyes closed and your heart open. Her first album didn’t do well but America, just watch her shine on her next album with David Foster behind her efforts. She’s never recorded and album before and I know she has learned alot about her voice and what is really best for her. I think she’s in a learning curve and I can’t wait to see what comes next for her. Simon praised her on Idol now stabs her in the back…Simon wil eat his words!

On 9 Feb 2008, maria wrote: Does Mr. Cowell realize that when he disses on contestants and makes it known he doesn’t like someone as he does with Mr. Aiken every chance he gets, how bad it makes him look. I truly believe his dislike of Clay Aiken stems from the fact that he has done amazingly better than the actual winner of that year and that just eats Mr. Cowell up. Positive praise of contestants who have proved themselves would sit so much better with the viewing public. I truly feel that the show has lost alot of its credibility and I feel bad about that because the first few years were truly so enjoyable, but it definitely has lost ground over the past few years and that is a shame. While Mr. Cowell may have valid points at times he is CERTAINLY NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. Dissing Kat, Taylor and Clay is so inappropriate and makes him seem so un-professional…..

On 9 Feb 2008, Owen wrote: Not only did Taylor sell three times as many CD’s as last year’s winner, the very mediocre Jordin Sparks, Taylor (along with Kat, Chris and Elliott) made Season Five the biggest Idol ratings success of all time, probably its apex. Simon loved Kat last year. What will he be saying about Jordin this time next year? And didn’t his FAVORITE Idol (and mine) of all time, Fantasia, just finish up a stint on BROADWAY…..?

On 9 Feb 2008, Anonymous wrote: Simon gets paid BIG BUCKS to open his BIG MOUTH, and I agree, that Taylor Hicks SHOULD have never WON!!! Daughtery was good on the show, but I didn’t want him to win either…. So, when it’s all said and done, it’s back to America’s vote as to who the winner will be.

On 8 Feb 2008, Amy wrote: I have no particular like or dislike for Taylor, Katharine or Clay … however, I think Simon should think before he opens his mouth. If he thinks someone like Taylor shouldn’t have won, then he should have made certain that Taylor never got put through to the top 24. Simon has absolutely no one to blame but himself. He got exactly what he deserved for trying to use Taylor to get ratings. Blaming the American public for making a mistake in voting Taylor in as the Season 5 AI is definitely the pot calling the kettle black. Simon needs to get a grip.

On 8 Feb 2008, Toni wrote: Hes right about her talent. I cant stand her and never did like her voice. However, Broadway is incredibly difficult and requires more than just a good voice. I think what he meant was her voice is not “pop” its not what idol is about. Idol isnt about caberet or Broadway its about pop music and no she doesnt have that.
