If he just wanted to be a judge and not get involved at all, he would have stayed a judge on American Idol as it was still popular when he left, but he wanted to launch his own show and that is how he signed Fifth Harmony, who are quite big in the US. So the producers that work on the show that chose the songs, in effect work for Simon or his record company.
So going back to Emily, I don't understand why he would have ruined her as an artist as Simon understands the guitar artist, he resigned James Arthur - although he has an amazing voice and Emily was average.”

He's made more money from the rights to the show than he will with a 100 winners.
He couldn't care less who wins in reality. I'm not slating him, just giving the reality of the situation. It is an irrelevance now who wins.
Simon is effectively acting a role. But I bet come 10pm on Sunday till the following Saturday evening he spends zero time concerning himself with the contestants or anything else about the show.
