I have to say that half of the fun is waiting to hear what Simon will say about the singer. Because I find that about 90% of the time, I feel the same way. I just love that he's the guy in the room that will say what everybody else is thinking. He just says it much more harsh than you would ever let come out of your mouth. And somehow, that amuses me. The only time I felt that he went too far was last season when he went AWOL on David Cook the night before the final results. I totally disagreed with him. Ofcourse, it was funny to see him eat crow when David was announced the winner.
I guess growing up in such a musical family, and having voice lessons since I was a teeny little girl, it makes you a much more critical person when it comes to vocals. This can be a real problem in places like church for instance, but American Idol seems to be the perfect setting for my musical criticism. I think I get it out of my system so that I am not doing it on Sundays.
Maybe that's why I've become an Idol fan.

I'm with you! I love simon!! I love how he can insult in such a creative way. If he just said, "You suck!" it wouldn't be interesting. but in his british way he compares you with something in such a way that you understand it was horrible! Love it!
Interesting perspective, and I empathize with your criticism. With over 15 years of voice lessons and many years of musical experience, plus watching my sister in a successful musical career as a professional dancer in New York, I am way too critical of all things musical that I witness. Sometimes, I see it as a curse. It makes it harder to enjoy things. I worry that I will sit painfully through plays and recitals that my daughter will be a part of and I pray that I won't disappoint her. But yes, I love being able to dump all my critical thoughts on each Idol performance once a week.
