Reading that I get the vision of a Star Trek like scene of all cadets being given orders by their commander in chief on a power ranger communicator.

I ain't mad at Simon. They all need a good kick up the a$$. There's too much petty in fighting going on right now. I'm sick of it.

make it so

Maybe he should stop speaking through the Daily Mail and The Sun or The Mirror and tighten up on the tabloids.

You missed an important word out - reportedly.

I wanna see Simon show them how it's done.

Come on ,Simon,I will even rearrange some lyrics for you to rip off the arangement of in honour of what you did to poor Gamu.

Hmmm...how 'bout some Adam Levine/Maroon5?

I can totally picture Simon singing this...

"You're on my show,so I controle you
signed shit contracts now I own you
Still,got mooobs like Jagger
I Got them moooobs like Jagger"
I Got them Moo ooo ooo ooo oooo ooo ooo ooo ooooobs like Jagger" (sorry,Adam)

Meanwhile, Walsh rubbished claims that Simon Cowell is not happy with the new series of The X Factor, claiming that the Syco boss is not even watching the British show.

"Only because he's not on it! Simon's only ever interested in stuff if it includes him," said Walsh.

it is a shame, if true. the acts themselves are only part of the problem, some of them are certainly not up to scratch. in my opinion judging panel should have had a dressing down and if the judges deemed it necessary. then the pressure should have been past on to the individuals concerned.

this kind of approach isn't going to sit well with the likes of misha and kitty. they are clearly focused and creative. why demoralise them?

the ratings are on a downward trend because the judging panel needs tweaking. if he is so concerned, he should fly in for the show each weekend.

I think the shows producers should share at least some of the blame. I don't think some of the contestants have had their talents showcased properly.

I wouldn't mind Simon coming back as a producer for a couple of shows, he hits more than he misses and as a producer, he's pretty good, meticulous and hardworking.

Ok if this is truth, there's two things I'm feeling about it -

1) I see Simon blasting the contestants for 'not being good enough' (questioning their quality etc), yet I really think the judges need the blasting since it's them who put these specific acts through. Or in Tulisa's case, created the groups she wanted.

2) Simon is just throwing a wobbly because SCD beat XF's ratings last week.

Sorry Simon, but if you're that concerned, maybe you should have thought about the possibility of this situation occurring before you toodled off to the US to widen your wallet. You jumped ship and now it appears to be sinking. On your head be it.

he should return in some capacity. if nicole can pop over to promote a single, then why cant he?
