Simon Cowell! :D

[ChrisH]

I never watched Pop Idol and didn't know much about the guy except for a little I'd seen and read about him. His appearance a while ago on Celebrity Millionaire and the fact he gave his share of the winnings, £16,000 (around $26,000) to Battersea Dogs Home did endear him to me, but it is his latest show The X Factor (http://www.xfactor.tv/page.asp?partid=1&voted=1) that has made me a like him a lot. :D

I know he can be obnoxious but he is honest, at least says what he thinks even if it is without any frills. ...
I think I like that because that is how my husband was, he could be charming but brutely honest when he felt he needed to be. My son is the same.

I think I will set a poll to see who likes him or not, just for fun. :D

P.s. Look at the Photo Gallery at the X Factor site to see pictures of when Sharon poured a glass of water on his head. :D

I like him. He says what he thinks, even if he knows it won't be popular opinion. Obviously he's been doing something right being as he's a gajillionaire. And he makes me laugh. Now if he'd just share some of his money with me...

[PJ's Mom]

I love him! I wish I could be that honest. ;)

[carole]

I also think Simon is great, yes sometimes he can be a bit brutal and I don't always agree with him, but he is honest, and that I admire in anyone, to be honest he made the show IMO,(IDOL) without him it would have been boring, paula got on my nerves, she was so nicey nicey.

I have not seen this latest show, but have heard about it, so I guess we will get it here later on, I will certainly watch because Simon is on it.

On Australian Idol there is a similar guy called Dicko, I love him too.

Our judges here just did not do it for me, and I found our Idol the most boring of the lot.
BRING HIM ON, love ya Simon!!!!

[tatsxxx11]

Have to admit it, I secretly like Simon... a lot! He definitely "makes" the show here. And I guess I'm attracted to that "brutally honest but charming type;" I married one:D And like my husband, I think Simon's a REAL mush at heart!

[primabella]

I like Simon.. I used to see him as too honest and not agree with the way he puts things but he makes the show and he's the only judge that I would take seriously. ;)

[catnapper]

I adore Simon. He's the only one who's willing to tell it like it is and not sugar coat things. I think he's striking a chord with people because a lot of us feel we've grown to become too polite or politically correct out of fear of hurting someone's feelings. he doesn't care--- he's brutally honest and says things we'd only dream of saying. I love it! :D

If you read the thread in Dog General about Red the Lurcher...

... that is the place Simon gave his Millionaire winnings to. :D

Mmmmmm....Simon Cowell! Brittish AND straight forward! SO my kind of guy!!! ;)

[Logan]

If Simon supports rescue, then I support him!!!! I've only watched American Idol one time, and it was because my daughter begged me....Barry Manilow was the guest, so I can't really add much on what I think of him. But if he's a pet supporter, then I support him!!! :D

I like him a lot. He can be rude, but I think some of it may be an act for television. He is probably the reason our American Idol had such good ratings.

I agree with most of what he says. I would say things nicer myself, but he is usually right on. And sometimes it can be funny how grumpy he is.

There was an article in a Us magazine awhile ago how Simon was the first person who called Ryan Seacrest offering his condolences when Ryan lost one of his jobs.

I quite like him Chris -[ I know he gets lots of flack from the press etc. But I'm enjoying The X Factor - some of those people have had me falling on the floor - tears streaming down my face - their soooooo bad!! Good grief there's some talent thought isn't there?

Yes he's really truthful and maybe - just maybe sometimes he plays to the camera - listening to some of those acts you can't blame him can you? At least he's truthful and doesn't suffer fools gladly.

I think Sharon's funny - did you see Saturday when she had Ozzie's sisters on? Wasn't Simon charming? Though he had no idea until she told him - who they were!!

Where's the "he's hot!" choice? :D

I have a secret little crush on him and is probably the only reason I watched American Idol :)

[prechrswife]

Another Simon fan here!

[swimma253]

I LOVE Simon!!! :D

I Love his voice!

I love his rudeness!

And... I think hes kinda cute! :p lol

[carole]

Oh I am sure a lot of it , is for the cameras, I bet in real life Ryan and Simon are great mates, besides that is what makes the show so good, all the bickering and snipes etc.

One thing I would love to change about Simon (although I love ya mate) is your dress sense, I HATE your T-shirts, they show your man-breasts too much, and you could look so cool, let me get my hands on you lol.

Now Ryan he is the hottie of the show, simply DEVINE!!!:) :D

[captain]

I LOVE Simon too, and I agree Carole, Dicko from Australian Idol is the same (and I LOVE him too!)

He is honest, but he still gives good, constructive advice ....... as opposed to Mark "Touchdown" Holden .......:rolleyes:

Yes, I think Sharon's great, and a good match for Simon too! :D I missed nearly all of Saturdays show though :mad: so I didn't see Ozzie's sisters. I'll make sure and check the times for this Saturday!

Carole, how about without the T-shirt? (see attached pic) :D

[carole]

Hmm not bad, not too bad at all, very easy and pleasing to the eye, thanks for sharing a bit more of Simon, I love him regardless, Does anyone remember when they were going on about his pants being too high around his waist?.

I saw that interview, but at the time I had no idea who is was.

Looks like Simon has found his way to many women's hearts, nothing like Honesty, and good looks.
