Simon Cowell

Appreciate your patience. Has been quite a while since I last wrote, that is attributed partly to the lack of anything mentionable in my life and to pure old fashioned laziness.

Indian Idol is hitting our screens soon and well, the American version is playing on Star World these days. My interest in that series is frankly all about Mr Simon Cowell and his in-your-face and below-the-belt remarks. I have always held some British in high esteem for their sharp wittedness - The Black Adder aka Mr Bean, Michael Palin, Iain Wright, DLT being just some of the names that come to mind. Simon is ofcourse, known better as the acerbic judge who does not mince his words in AI. Just picked some of his quotes off the web. I am sure you will agree, he tells it like it really is.

"You have just invented a new form of torture."
"If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning".
"You're one of the worst singers I've ever heard in my life."- Simon Cowell on American Idol
"I'm going to reach out with a hook if you don't shut up."- Simon Cowell on American Idol
"If you had lived 2,000 years ago and sung like that, I think they would have stoned you."- Simon Cowell on American Idol
"There's only so much punishment a human can take. I can't take anymore."- Simon Cowell on American Idol

Do give him a view if you can.

More later. Cheers.
