American Idol: When Judges Attack

[@lostindreams3]

As soon as he started in about Randy's weight, anyone who might have been with him up to that point vanished.

[@boglenight1551]

yep bringing up someone's weight when they are judging you is a bad move, however i do actually have some concern for Randy..... not saying he is obese or anything just saying that fitness could improve him immensely

[@ReapZx925]

His fitness actually has improved immensely=P

[@OhMyGodBrittany]

I actually like Simon, he's one of the very few judges that will actually judge talent, not based on sob stories or humor

[@peterlonergan]

Yet at 6.32 he judged the girl for the way she looked. Let's face it he had a problem with her being fat.

[@VillaFanFTW]

He pre-judges everyone, especially on their looks and weight. However once he left American Idol and created the X-Factor and the talent shows, he looked towards talent. American Idol wasn't just based on talent, it was on looks as well. Unless you were absolutely phenomenal, your looks mattered.

[@peterlonergan]

@@VillaFanFTW well said

[@daringducky6236]

pead long And thank god he did before the public got to see her

[@nathanradzelovage5523]

Simon knows this cultural mindset and knows what realism looks like. It only do you have to be able to sing and look somewhat decent but you need to be able to handle the life of a star after you potentially win the show and have some sort of name. Simons entire career is based upon making people stars. He knows what to look for. He knows what star material is and what’s not. I wouldn’t judge what he says cuz he’s the same on and off camera

[@athena9110]

Simon is seriously the most straightforward, honest and funny judge ever!!

He was yeah but when someone came along that was super good he stood behind them and pushed them along. He was the most spot on out of all the judges in the shows history

[@aprilthomas5485]

Brian H ☝🏽 I agree

[@alexandrejesus78]

Simon sometimes its to hard but he is the only judge that take thinks seriously in a professional way. The others just want to be seen as nice people. He does mistakes and its not right all the time like the other judges but he is realistic and has his feet on the floor. Its like the good cup and the bad cup. Other judges want to be seen as the good cup who break the rules to be loved by others.

[@khyatinarola6849]

He only cussed the first guy about his weight cos he cussed Randy

[@MrCarl220]

Ashley Crystal I remember a time when musicians made it to the business on pure talent and looks weren't a big issue. As long as you had the voice, that's what mattered. I don't think today, singers like ELvis Costello or Janis Joplin would be looked at twice because they don't look like models, the ususal cookie cutter image. As for the people who walked off the stae, well, shows you what they believe in, no heart!

Simon is right all the time because since 100% of the rejects auditions I haven't ever heard from any of them since. Not one of them became singing sensations or have songs on the radio.

[@shawn170204]

n G what does that have to do with any of these former contestants trying out for a singing competition and claiming they can make it in the music industry and sell ? Not 1 of them is ever heard from again. Simon is always right about the contestants they turn away. The woman you claim he flirted with well she too never made it she did get cut and never went on. Simon eventually cut her. Never heard from her again!

I love how the first dude asks Paula "If you were here 10-15 years ago would you have made it through the first round".. You mean around the time she was making her 3-4th albums or at the same time being a dancing instructor for most of the pop musicians at the time....Yea I dont think she would have any trouble on American Idol in her prime.

[@julessanchez1314]

Actually right after Idol I worked with the same team that woerked on her first record straight up and they shared with me that she had to be punched in on every note...if you had studio recording experience you know what that means.....

[@meganlewis2424]

If you have a record deal, why are you there?

[@neurokid1]

"you don't look like an American idol" thats actually very true in a lot of cases. In the voice, you see people winning not because of their talent but their appearance. Also, their singing only has to be a little bit above average and they'll win the whole thing....Just look at Justin Beiber

[@felixmarvelo2063]

Bra... the voice has "blind auditions". The judges choose who they want on their team by judging their voices and their voices only, because they can't see the singers until they turn around.

Throwing a tantrum on public television is not a way to become a star. Yes, some stars throw tantrums in public, but that is AFTER they have international fame not before. If they are declined by these shows just come back after they have had proper training and then blow them away. These people act like they are entitled to the competition because they want it, not because they have earned it.

[@julessanchez1314]

Simon is always protective of his fellow judges

[@aldebrechtspaulding786]

Simon: "I would vote off Aretha Franklin because she doesn't look the part" That is what is wrong with this show, and what is wrong with the music industry. It's not about talent, it's about looks

[@myowncelestial5017]

I agree. Too much attention on a certain look and not enough on true talent.

The whole thing of " I don't want to be on American Idol, I want to be an American inspiration" is the worst thing anyone could say when they had the opportunity to be a part of the show. Why did he sign up in the first place? This show or should I call it an opportunity for people who were waiting their whole lives to become a famous singer is not exploiting anyone in some ways. What makes the show exploitative is some people who came onto the show because their parents said they have incredible voices in which they don't want to say the truth because it would hurt the child or adult's feelings. However, those are the people who have been exploited because it makes them believe they are great singers, however the judges say the terrifying truth that they are bad singers. Another thing that can make the show exploitative is the high confidence in some people when they audition and end up getting hopes up because they got rejected.
