Simon Cowell, a poll.

[Roach-Rampino]

Simon Cowell, music mogul and tv personality. Known for his frank and blunt criticisms of contestants, he is also a hugely successful producer in the worlds of both music and television. Not many people are aware that in 1989 he was flat broke and had to move back in with his parents, thus having to start his fortune from scratch.

Personally I rate him, his judging comments don't give false hope to the wannabes and nine times out of ten he knows what the public are thinking and can spot an artists potential a mile off. Also according to our friends at Wikipedia he is very involved with charity work, a fact he keeps fairly well hidden from the media.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

Normally agree with his comments, probably 95% of the time.

Think he is a bit up himself, but who wouldn't be with all that he has got.

All in all I like the bloke and some of the comments he made to the little girl made him look like a softie at heart.

[TheFincher]

I think he's fuckin great TV.................... He's not always right and sometimes unnecessarily nasty but that just adds to the great TV!

Also he banged Sinita back in the day!!

[Roach-Rampino]

You have to bear in mind that most of what you see is an act/persona that he has created, which makes him one of the most recognisable faces in the showbiz world today. He does have power, he can make or break careers just like that. He also earns in excess of £50 million a year.

Coming from a mailroom boy at EMI to where he is today, I think he has every right to be pleased with himself.

[BertRoot]

I have no real opinion but the cunt is so far up his own ass I am surprised his face ain't the shitty colour of colon.

[Detector]

i like him for one reason, he is a very clever man - he is now a multi millionaire and all this in just 7 years!.

[DJ OD]

No opinion, his shows and opinion do not really interest me, i think the wife likes him and his shows but she's a poor judge of character.
He mainly does bitch tv which doesn't really interest me.

[CzarJunkie]

He's obviously gay and living a sham lifestyle, but aren't we all. I like him.......he's a conceited cocksucker but more often than not, he's right with his comments and like Det says, has made a fucking fortune. I'd bum him.

[blacksheep]

He's a twat purely for the crap tv that he helps to put on, for that alone he should be shot.

[evilsatan]

Generally he is funny, harsh where neccessary but you can see on britains got talent that he is nice to children and people not trying to take the piss of such shows.

[BertRoot]

He needs a golden shower by three birds with a yeast infection I think. He also needs a new tailor for his strides. I imagine he is hung like a gnat.

[blacksheep]

I'm really upset by the number of members here who know so much about the guy that they obviously watch the drivel that he passes off as TV.

she must be, she married you!

Not a massive fan, but hats of to him he has done very well for himself.

[BBK]

I agree with what he says when he's impartial, but in Xfactor its clear he doesn't give a shit, he just wants his act to win, no matter how shit they are. I also hold him partially responsible for the complete and utter cack that is the music industry these days. He was an early adopter of style and looks over musical talent, and some of the absolute shit he has foisted on us is disgraceful, and the only aim is to make him richer. Zig and Zag, the Teletubbies, Robson and Jerome - they are all his productions, and for this shit I can never like him.

However, he is the only judge on these shows that ever seems able to criticise, and sometimes I think he's arse licking, but most of the time I do agree with what he says.

My point in a nutshell, women are a lesser species.

It might be drivel and shite but American Idol final racked up 70 million votes!!! Cowell must have had his hand in his pocket all night thinking of the cash coming his way!

[Andy Poobar]

He might have made a fortune from scratch in 7 years, but it would appear that he didn't come from humble backgrounds either!

I am sure he was helped out along the way by all his millionaire brothers and parents!

I quite like him as well!
