Idol-Simons beste sitater

En ny runde av «Idol» er i gang her hjemme. Denne gang er det Ole Evenrud som er dommeren i panelet, og det gjenstår å se om han blir like slem i kjeften som de tidligere Idol-dommerne.

Strenge karer
Jan Fredrik Karlsen fikk mye negative tilbakemeldinger på sin dommerstil, selv sa han han mente han bare var ærlig. Også i Sverige har dommeren i første runde av «Idol» fått mye pepper.

Men sjefsslemmingen er britiske Simon Cowell fra amerikanske Idol. Han er like mye hatet som elsket, Og her er noen av hans beste sitater.

• My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.
• you sang like you were in a dentists chair
• you sang like someone who sings on a cruiseship... halfway through I imagined the ship sinking
• If you had lived 2,000 years ago and sung like that, I think they would have stoned you
• En Idol-deltager sang «the day that music died...» og Simon avbrøt med: «It just did»
• I think you invented notes never ever heard before in music.
• There's only so much punishment a human can take. I can't take anymore
• Do you have a lawyer? Get a lawyer and sue your music teacher
• If you were to win and sing a song, you would kill the American record industry. That's how bad you are
• When you stopped singing, that was the best part
• If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.

Simon: So do they!

Nathanial: Well, that's fine, but did they stand out in the cold and --

Simon: They're standing outside the subway. So yes
