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 that has made me a like him a lot.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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 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!

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

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

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

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!!!

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?

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