During auditions for 'The X Factor', he made a bet with auditionee Paul Holt that he would pay him £50,000 if he got a #1 single.

During an auditioning, a female participant told Simon and the other judges that she quit her job at a hair salon so she can pursue her dreams on American Idol; when getting rejected, Simon had asked for the phone and called the owner of the participant workplace where the rejected contestant got her job back.

Personal Quotes
"I'd accept an honour but I don't think I'm likely to get one. The Queen once described me as a dreadful man"

To a Pop Idol contestant: "Let me throw a mathematical dilemma at you - there's 500 left, well how come the odds of you winning are a million to one?"

[Asked if he feels guilty about what he says to the American Idol contestants] "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"

If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word 'corny'. And then you come over here and you find that it's not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else's success. Americans embrace other people's success. Everything in America is larger than life.

[To the infamous Keith who sang a horrible rendering of 'Like a Virgin'] "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."

"I don't want babies the same way I wouldn't want a puppy. It's too much responsibility."

"I don't take myself seriously and I don't consider myself a star."

[On Michael Jackson] "The guy is off his rocker."

"They [Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson] loved him. I couldn't stand him [Taylor Hicks]. I didn't get it. At the end of the day you have to find a bona fide recording artist. Just because you win the show doesn't mean you will sell a lot of records. Chris [Daughtry] is the one who sold the albums, not Taylor."

He is a man that 9 times out of 10 knows what he is talking about when it comes to music he is a very rich and famous producer some of the more funny song he has helped are power rangers song and zig and zags song. He is actually a nice person if you were watching bbc in the uk last night it showed him giving lots of money to charity (he wasnt the only celeb). Sometimes he is a bit harsh but im sure of about 10 years of rubbish artists keep coming back to him he gets a bit sick of it so decides to be harsh in the first place so he doesnt have to listen to them again in future. It is usually constructive unless he just says its awful lol. No I dont fancy by the way his pants are too high.

I know two things to be true.

1. Simon usually has the same opinion as I do.
2. He is much nice to some people than I would be.

Simon Cowell Is a K**B!!! Why he is so popular is beyond me!! And we wonder why British society has lost respect for other people - what do expect when people such at him are praised and looked up to for their ignorant, selfish, and egotistic behaviour.

He is the worst dressed "man" on the show, get rid of the thinning white t-shirt thing, it is horrible! It looks like he just woke up out of bed w/ that ugly thing. I think he needs to look at himself under a microscope and see his own ugly reflection in the mirror! I'd like to see him do any better than the rest of them! He is the biggest "EGO MANIAC" there is on this planet! Enough said!

He's the WORST judge on American Idol. And I think that he only has like, 2 pairs of clothing cause you either see him wearing a white shirt(with jeans) or a black shirt(with jeans).
