Oh, Simon. How we've missed you! The snappy Briton known for taking the wind out of many an Idol contestant's sails, Simon Cowell was not merciful when it came to weighing in on pop star Christina Aguilera's much maligned performance of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
In an interview with Fox News Insider, Simon, with his boldly unmanscaped chest hair showing in his plunging neckline, was asked about his thoughts on Christina's lyrical flub heard round the world. In short: Not good.
Simon: I just heard it then and it sounded like a 100,000 people in the stadium just sat on a cat....I'm listening to it here in London and it didn't sound great to me. Not great.
Another artist on the receiving end of Simon's bristling words? Newly-minted American Idol judge Steven Tyler, who criticized Simon for dismissing country music as a genre. Simon pointed to his support of Carrie Underwood as evidence that he wasn't biased and he bluntly stated that he believed Steven was being told to say these sorts of negative things against him.
