Who thinks Simon is fair?

Simon is a straight shooter. He tells it like it is and usually gives the contestants good advice in the process. I think that Simon is fair. I don't think he picks a favorite and gushes over them like some of the other judges.

Simon gets my vote. He has been in the music industry for a long time, so he knows what sells. He does get a little harsh sometimes, but I think it would be better to know up front than a couple years down the road when you have wasted a lot of time and getting nowhere. He does admit when he has been wrong about somebody. He has said after watching the show maybe his opinion was not quite correct. And Paula is always pretty syrupy with her comments so it all balances out.

I think Simon is a good judge. He speaks the truth without watering it down any. I think that's where most people have issues with him. They want the watered down version of the truth because otherwise it can be really hard to take sometimes.

I personally like Simon and I think that he is fair with most contestants. Sometimes, I think that he is saying things just to get the audience fired up but I also think that he knows a lot about the music industry and that he is only trying to help them in the long run.

Simon is only telling the truth and what the other judges don't just come out and say. He tells it like it is, he doesn't go around using other words like Randy or maybe Kara would do, but just tells it like it is. Simon isn't there to be nice or whatever he should be, hes there to tell the contestants what they should or need to do the following week. Simon is a good judge.

me too! for me simon's opinions are cool..hehe!! he's very harsh always (i think??) but he always has a point. it's up to the contestants if they will take it too seriously. i hope that the contestants should not look at it as a negative comment but instead in a positive way. they can use simon's criticism as a stepping stone to stardom. it's either they will prove to simon that he's wrong or not. and sometimes if he knows he's really wrong in judging the person, he takes time to apologize and i think he's not that bad at all.:)

ok, he may have to work on his bedside manner as his comments are sometimes overly harsh and hurtful, but in truth, more often than not I agree with what he has to say. He is just one of those people that has the guts to say the things that most of us are thinking.....doesn't hurt that he gets paid a ton of cash to do so.....LOL

there are a lot of more harsh people than simon in show business so simon is mainly just their orientation. if they want to hit big then they have to impress people like simon in the show business. simon says what he thinks the rendition was, but when it is very impressive he says it as well. he does not only see how bad a song was he also says when it was impressive.

I do think that Simon is fair. The contestants when they go up and perform know that they are going to be told if they are good are bad. If they want it sugar coated they have no business being up on the stage to begin with. All Simon does is tell it like it is. I give a thumbs up for Simon.

I think he's just being fair and he's just being straight forward, honest with his comments to the contestants.. THough he might sound a bit harsh and sacarstic at times, i believe it's for the good of those contestants.. For one will only improve when they have woken up from the world of their own ^_^ haha =D Besides, he's well known for his harsh comments ever since the 1st season started ^_^

I don't think he's so much 'not fair' as he is just plain rude. Just because HE doesn't like someone or their performance (or song, or what they're wearing, or how they did their hair, or the song arrangement....) doesn't give him the right to express that personal dislike in the rudest most obnoxious way possible. I know he does it for the camera and for all the viewers but - just because you can doesn't mean you should. I'm not saying he shouldn't be honest, but honesty does not mean RUDE.

I don't think he's fair but he's rarely ever wrong. He made a very rude, very unkind comment to Megan Joy last week that was based on a misunderstanding... He told her that it was good that she didn't care because they didn't either. She didn't say she didn't care, she said it was okay that she was going home. That's not the same thing. She was telling the audience not to feel sorry for her because she had had a great experience and was going to be able to be with her son again. But for the most part, his comments are spot on, even if he could use some lessons in finesse. If you listen to the messages, when Kara doesn't like something, the two of them say basically the same thing but she does it without words like horrible, atrocious, nightmare, hideous, painful....

I think Simon is just telling them (contestants) the truth. And he is just doing his job. He is harsh...very harsh I must say. But he is very credible! Happy MyLotting!

simon does his job so well. he says what he wants to say and he's so honest to the contestants. not beating around the bush type of person. he is just fair.
