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!!!!
