(Once you've been rejected on Idol, the whole planet knows about it and won't let you forget it. There are people still trying to socially recover from auditions 5, 6 years ago...) I wouldn't object to Cowell's rudeness if the folks who audition were older, but I think the age cap is 23 or 24, and the average age seems to be 19.S.M.

The fact that this happened on national television could have made this the straw that broke the camel's back, but my guess is she had a lot of other issues. Still - I agree, from the few times I've actually watched Idol, Simon is made to be the villian.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129109937230440481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10120139.post-26194965326851746282008-11-12T20:55:00.000-07:002008-11-12T20:55:00.000-07:00Totally agreed.

I mean I know they want a "villain" on the show for people to hate, but that guy is completely out of line with his arrogance, rudeness, and sometimes his incoherence. "That, my dear, was like a monkey having relations with a toaster." It's one thing for him to put actual contestants through the grinder like that - they'll have to learn to handle it if they really want to be in the business - but he doesn't have to emotionally flay teenagers who don't meet his standards in auditions.S.M.
