Cranky American Idol judge Simon Cowell thinks Beyonce is overrated and that Ashlee Simpson (news) has been criticized unfairly. Cowell tells Esquire, "I find the whole Beyonce thing really mystifying. She's not sexy, she hasn't got a great body and she's not a great singer."

Cowell defended Ashlee Simpson's decision to use a backing track instead of singing live on Saturday Night Live last October. He said, "Why should you have to do something substandard just for the sake of being real? If it sounds better with the vocal you recorded, why shouldn't people listen to that? There's almost a witch-hunt mentality about people miming."



OK...so I know that Cowell is an ass...but Come ON! You know what...maybe HE's THE ONE that ought to be shot. Not the Britneys or the um Ashlees...but the Simons who push this ilk on us...and say it's OK to lip sync. Grrr this shit just IRKS ME!

FOR THE LAST TIME, HER NAME IS ASSLEE!!

It is publicity.

Mind u, simon does at least seem honest.....

Simon Cowell is hurting America!

Either Simon is out for major publicity...or he's f*cking out of his mind.

Um...didn't it just open to 33 million + viewers? Bigger than the last 2 seasons....

I suppose. They did report that they expect fewer viewers...but that could be because Fox expects fewer veiwers in general...cuz they have sucky programming.
