He caught Lamont Landers audition briefly, and had some harsh words to say about Simon Cowell calling him an "idiot" and a "fool" for stopping Lamont and saying he did awesome on his first time and that Simon was foolish for stopping him. I do see where he was coming from, because I think it is completely unfair for Simon to stop some acts and change them during their auditions (if he is for some, then he should do it for everyone else. If they didn't do well the first time, buzz them and call it a day), but I believe that Simon is without a doubt NOT an idiot or a fool because he found countless superstars through Got Talent, X Factor and American Idol.

Then again this is the same guy who gets mad at me when I donate my change to children's charities at Walmart and who got mad at me for suggesting putting a sticker on his car that speaks out against people who text and drive as he feels it is spreads a "political message". He also almost threatened to completely shut off my Internet privileges because he found a YouTube user that I am subscribed to who uses strong language (including the F-word). A lot of people find it annoying whenever Simon stops people but pretty much every time he does it I agree with him that the person didn’t sound good. And then the second time they sing it sounds a lot better than before. I think Simon stopping people is just what he’s used to doing cause he knows what sounds good and what doesn’t sound good. But I do agree that on a show like this it is a bit unfair for non-singing acts who don’t get a second chance to do their act.
