Brutal honesty comes to mind.



He is known as Mr. Nasty or Judge Dread in England. Mr. Cowell was born in Brighton, England. He is as short as you have heard it. It is true he stands only 5' 9" (1.75 m) tall as so many contestant have said on Americas American Idol.

For a high school drop out at the age of 16 he sure learned some smarts in the business savvy sectors of the Entertainment industry. Working is way up the latter as a mail boy at EMI.

He is　most recently noticed as one of the judges on American Idol and is quoted after being asked if he feels guilty about his harsh criticisms towards the contestants'? Conwell said, "No, what I am doing is kind by telling people who are useless 'Do something that you're good at'. So I would only feel guilt if I misled somebody who was terrible." "We've done three seasons of American Idol and by now it is safe to assume that most people know that you have to be able to sing.

But people turn up who can't sing a note and yet they believe they are the Second Coming." "Sit in these auditions for three weeks and hear "I Believe I Can Fly" out of tune for the millionth time, YOU try and be nice"

When I first saw Mr. Foul on American Idol I had the same perception of his demeanor at first glance as well but lets be honesty here for a moment; do you remember the iniquitous Keith who sang the dreadful depiction of 'Like a Virgin' last year?

Well Mr. Cowell said, "Keith, last year I described someone as being the worst singer in America. I think you're possibly the worst singer in the world ... I've never, ever heard anything like that in my life, ever."

True, and true again. So what does this say when shows like American Idol make untalented nobody's into somebody's?

Just imagine as a judge your are induced by untalented, fashion victims, make-up whores, and those working straight out of a vacuum bag sing a song that needs a serious tune-up. I get why he is short tempered and caste as the Meany, but if you want to be taking seriously these contestants need to really work on presenting themselves as a serious artist. Most of them are really in denial and deluding themselves.

With that said, still over exposed contestant's untalented and talented gather their sleep bags and head back for more and more mockery. Last week's episode in Chicago took a spin for some unleashing diabolical, explosive attitudes on the judges.

What's worse is the untalented nobody turned somebody Keith (the Like a Virgin singer last year) and William Hung is only sending a message to Limelight the untalented. This will do nothing and you are only destined to open more doors and statements by Mr. Cowell.

He said, "When you celebrate awfulness it puts you in a slightly uncomfortable position," then, adding he was nervous "that we're going to get people coming on the show next year that want to be bad."

Yes Mr. Cowell, you are right, and right on! Perhaps a bit presumptuous but again I pegged that his demeanor won him a spot on American idol for mere Entertainment. It is as sad as that sounds, because Americans love to watch those plummet down the drain. Absolutely yes, that is TV, and that is Entertainment today; but isn't that sad? Isn't it sad that we seek entertainment by someone else's demise, embarrassment, hurt, and ridicule?

In last week's Chicago audition, a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) with an outstanding voice got a thumbs-up from the judges — and then the paramount provocateur Simon Cowell suggested the show might consider a bigger stage. Shame on you Simon! She had the looks but some deem she needed a total body work-out for this industry. Mr. Cowell have you heard of Aretha Franklin? Would he have said the same insult behind her back only to be aired and seen by millions? Is this the industries perception of being “All Over talented”?

Also in Chicago, a man with a girly type voice got Conwell's vicious recommendation: Cowell said, "Shave your beard and try wearing a dress ". Sorry, but I really have to agree with Cowell again. What the heck was he thinking, this show is American Idol, meaning must sell records to those tinny boppers, and I am sorry but I seriously doubt that a cross dresser would be the next American Idol. To add insult to injury his voice needed some serious tweaking, and I am being nice. My advice to him is doing drag, you can make money and not let your talent go to waste, but for the next American idol…NOT!

Let's be fair and give Mr. Nasty, I mean Mr. Cowell the benefit of the doubt. American Idol is pure entertainment. To sit and judge talent takes patience and juicy bias. It's obvious that many couch potatoes gulp down the idiotic stratagem.
