Simon

I would definitely have to agree with you here as I think he is the better judge of the three judges. Randy would be next and Paula would be last by a mile. Simon can be very brutal with his remarks, which I think he should chill down some, but he speaks the truth and makes a lot of sense. He is pretty good at picking out the ones who will make it far and the ones that will not. Paula likes everyone and Randy is kind of soft as well.

Simon, like him or not, is correct probably 95% of the time. He does not let emotions or audience responses affect him, say like they do Paula. The one thing that I do wish he would work on is the personal remarks(too fat or ugly) or maybe FOX can work on deleting them out more, I dunno. But, yes, Simon knows what he is doing and if I were a contestant I would listen to all his comments to everyone else to improve myself.

I agree with you. Simon say it as it is. He don't mind if the contestant and their fans won't like it. I take his comments as constructive one.

Constructive criticism I have no problem with, but rudeness I do! I'm not a fan of him, but I have read on here that many are.

Simon is right much of the time. But he was wrong about Jennifer Hudson. She's an Oscar winner now-- losing Idol was the best thing that could have happened to her!

If you are sensitive, you will take the comments of Simon very seriously. But me, if i am in their position,i should be very grateful that he's there as a contrast. He's in the business and do know that very well, we should listen to him somehow, he is really a big help.

Simon has the most experience in the industry than any of the other judges. He is who they should listen to. His comments are important and truthful. I love Simon. He makes the show more exciting!
