I actually like Simon despite his weird sometimes insulting comments..he!he!
He's straight to the point ... when he doesn't like a performance, he just says it without hesitation...
And it's fun to hear all his metaphors when giving out his opinion...
I noticed too that contestants tend to value Simon's comments.
No matter what the other judges think...they still want the approval of Simon.
Have you noticed that too?

definitely Simon! he's so straight forward and he says it like it is. i mostly agree with his comments more than any of the other judges.
and sometimes he's just hilarious with what he says!! for me, he's definitely the best judge.
not really a fan of the new judge Cara....something about her i just really dislike

most of Simon's comments are same as mine's too...
unlike Paula, sometimes i get the feeling that she's trying to please everyone...
but the good thing about it is that she is able to see the good side of a lousy/terrible performance...at least, the contestant wouldn't be feeling too bad about it...

I have to agree with you about Cara there is something I dislike about her. She seems to act somewhat superior as if what she has to say is of more importance than the other judges.

Kara's songs have been recorded by the likes of Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and may others...
It says in her credentials that her songs have appeared on more than 100 million records...
That's why probably she is that confident...

I'm starting to like Kara.. she gives very sensible critiques and very good advice to the contestants.
Well ofcourse, how can we forget Simon... he always spices things up in the panel! At times, he may be rude and arrogant, but in the end he's still right.

i like Paula Abdul for her emotional responses. I respect Simon for being very honest in his judgment, however he looks on every person as potential money machine.
I like Paula for her sweet comments, dancing and standing up when she likes someone performance. She knows how to make people feel good.

I have always liked Simon best. He is the main reason I watch AI. I had to laugh last night we he told one of male contestants (forgot his name) that he did not like how he was dressed and Simon himself looked absolutely tatty.

Simon always wear the same shirt...he just alternates the colors -- white, gray or black....
Do you think he's wearing the same brand always? ha!ha!
I can just imagine his closet filled with all those shirts but with different brands...

hands down it is Simon Cowell he is the only judge that never seems to have a favorite and call it like he sees it. I do not always agree but there is something about the other three that always makes me feel they say what they say for other reasons than just what they have seen.

i get that at Paula at times...actually the two girls...
sometimes i feel that the two girls, when they give comments, they also think at the back of their minds how the audience will react to their critic..if the audience would boo them, they would add something to lighten it up...
with Simon, he doesn't care at all ....ha!ha!

I don't really have a favorite but I agree with you about Simon. I was happy with him on the last show because I absolutely hated Adam's song. I also agree with whats been said about Cara. There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way.

Simon, even if he sometimes has to go home and listen again to the performances and eat his words, is the hardest to sway, sure he keeps tabs of early favorites but that is his job, to find talents, to pitch in where the money is...

I like Simon too. Sometimes he goes overboard with criticism, but he's the only one that doesn't sugar coat his feedback to a performer. The music and performing industries are harsh, and I think his comments and his attitude are helpful for not only the performer to hear that, but also the audience, so everyone gets a sense of what these kids are up against!

simon is the only one who has an honest opinion. he doesn't sugar-coat stuff which makes him so harsh but at least he is speaking the truth. smart contestants know that and that is why they seek his approval.

Simon Cowell all the way! He just gives the most brutal but the most sensible comments. And he's almost always right. It's like when Simon gives the finalist a positive somment, it's the only thing that matters!
I don't really like paula, she seems loopy all the time...
