I kinda prefer Simon being softer and Howie being tougher to be honest. Simon being the “mean judge” was a fabricated personality made to appease reality television standards at the time, and was completely unpleasant on a regular basis in the Idol and Got Talents he was previously on. The fact that he’s “softer”, probably because he’s had kids recently, is a way better change, since he feels like, you know, an actual human being now.
