I only remember him from the days of American Idol. On that, he would be totally blunt. I remember when there was a dude who came in dressed like the Statue of Liberty to audition. Simon just was like "Leave. Now." He didn't even get a chance to sing, instead he just got kicked out haha

On the whole, I like him. He was blunt and would say it like it is, and this bluntness was usually pretty funny. Sure, there were times where he could be kinda nitpicky on voices, and he would suspiciously vote through attractive girls that came in bikinis and stuff (despite their ehh voice)... However, he was a cool dude on the whole.

I totally ship him and Paula Abdul when they were both on American Idol xD

I'm really indifferent, but I agree he's an animal lover, which is tops in my book. He also showed a really soft human side the other evening when he openly shed tears, probably because of the loss of his beloved mother. He's a hard business man, but then, he has to be!! He does know what he's talking about, but I appreciate his human side, too!

He is rude as hell, but the man speaks the truth and I respect him for that. And he is the only one on britain's got Talent that can actually spot real Talent. Others are still good, but they often follow the public. So if the public likes some song from shitty singers because it's catchy, the other judges would like them too. Not Simon. If there's no Talent involved, he gives a no.

I like him. I find his bluntness quite funny to be honest. Even though people say he's rude or whatever, he does not give people false hope which in the long run is better. Also, I noticed some people complained that sometimes he puts some people through biased on their looks. But that IS the music industry. Mainstream pop is largely based on looks. It is what it is.

Well he is honest and likes animals more than people. My kind of person.

Genie23 · Answer

He is blunt.. and witty. I like him, lol.

KDA20 · Answer

I am probably option C - While I am not a fan of that genre of TV, you have to respect that Simon Cowell saw a gap in the market and created the phenomenon that is X Factor and the Got Talent shows. Millions of people get great enjoyment out of his shows so you can't argue with that.

ThatAsianFellow · Answer

He endorsed Teletubbies... still have nightmares to this day

Phoenix98 · Answer

O he's a major prick but he does care, he's honest because he doesn't want to give false hope to people that do genuinely suck at singing or playing. He wants the best to succeed, just like Gordan Ramsey through tough bitchy love lol. That usually ends in tears, red vein (y) faces and on occasion panic attacks 70% of the time lol.

Neither love nor hate. He can be rude, be he is brutally honest and that's what is needed, as the music industry is tough. So if he doesn't say it, someone else will say it in their career. He is basically indirectly preparing them for it.

fauchelevent · Answer

I love him. He's a prick, but he's funny (and his love of puppies is adorable) :)

loved2blovedbyu · Answer

Very blunt indeed, but it was usually for good reason, his deliberate blunt and honest delivery served the purpose as to construct, hence "Constructive Criticism" not necessarily a means to insult

existing_not_living · Answer

Eh, I don't think much of him now cause I don't watch the show he is on right now, but when I watched American Idol I loved him! I liked his cruel nature.

ThisDudeHere · Answer

I like the guy. And the internet would brake if Simon and Gordon Ramsey would criticize someone on the same show lol

JustinCaseUDontKnow · Answer

He is very arrogant / ignorant towards people who tried out  he can be nice but also a big prick too

ShaeNielson · Answer

I love him, all this sugar coating going on today is sickening.

JessRoxHard · Answer

Not a fan. I don't hate him just don't like these talent shows he does. Plus he is a bit or an arrogant prick.

Aren't you asking this question about 13 years too late?

LittleSally · Answer

I love him much more than I hate him. =) I like the brutal honesty. Something you can't get away with unless you're a celebrity. Hahaha

Levin · Answer

He's a shrewd business man. He knows what the public, @MissNowhere, wants! Fair play to him! He can be entertaining.

HookingSwan · Answer

I have always liked Simon Cowell Even when he made some vicious, yet funny jokes, at the expense of some American Idol contestants.

RasmusAiken · Answer

I neither love nor hate him. He's a smart and very successful guy but he's just too self-absorbed to be very likable.

Kris85 · Answer

I like him because he's a asshole. I like assholes.

QuestionMan · Answer

He's a prick and he knows it.

93stepsawayfromhome · Answer

Hate is a strong word but I don't like him, mainly because I've heard too many stories of ridicule or downright taking advantage of candidates in Britain's Got Talent. And he's responsible for One Direction so that's another negative thing.
