Before the esteemed British judge arrives in the country, get a glimpse of excerpts from shows he has judged and his stinging attitude towards contestants on stage • "You're like why in a petting zoo"
Simon Cowell will come to Israel to judge "The X Factor", and there is no better opportunity to dig into his television past and find the most scandalous and nervous videos of the star, who in many cases had to deal with troubled examinees who just wanted screen time or harass him in every way possible.
Here is what awaits us:
Cowell's vicious moments on the show
Simon is a bit like Gordon Ramsey - only calmer and more vicious.
He tends to describe auditions of particularly unsuccessful candidates with colorful and sarcastic descriptions, such as "You sound like a shirt that came back from washing when it's too starchy and you can't wear it," "You sound like trying to chop wood with a banana" Like why in a petting zoo, I want something more interesting. "
Cowell's cruel moments in auditions
The auditions that precede the stage performance are attended by all types of people in the world, who have only undergone a light initial screening.
Simon knows how to cultivate in them the desire to die, when he tells them sentences like "your voice is not 10. I would give him a maximum of 2-2.5", and "there was not a single character you sang without faking, you can not sing".
On the other hand, there are cases that can be understood.
Cowell's cute moments
He knows how to scold but also to be sweet, and when the contestant arrives the Golden Buzzer - he does it like a big.
"I predict great things will happen to you," he told a ten-year-old contestant who had recovered from cancer, a second before hitting the gold button.
To a child-pianist who experienced bullying after getting cancer, he said "you have an amazing talent, an amazing personality, and I want to say something to bullies on your behalf," and clicked on the buzzer.
boom!
Cowell laughs at contestants
And of course, back to the referee's vicious moments.
To a contestant who said her listeners screamed as she sang, he said "I don't think that's a good thing."
When three family members came to be tested, he asked them "Do you practice at home? And you live near an airport? You do not seem to be able to hear yourself singing."
When someone sang "Titanic," Cowell told him "I think you did a better job than the glacier, you just murdered the song."
Cowell's greatest insults
"The only resemblance between you and Mariah Carey is the hair," the judge responded to the contestant who sang in front of him, "you have one of the worst voices I've ever heard. Just awful."
After saying "you are a loser", and to the contestant who annoyed him he responded "if the criterion to move to the next stage was to sing every word in the fake, you would win tonight. It would be excruciating".
Also from his face: "You have one of the worst voices I've ever heard in my life", "You should hope a lot of girls listen to this audition without a voice" and "You could not have won this show even if you were the only person competing in it".
Ouch.
Cowell: Young and deadly
A British TV show that aired from 1982-2001 and included viewers who expressed their opinions and watched TV shows, hosted 28-year-old Simon Cowell who came down hard on the content of one of the shows that dealt with sexual content, including saying "We thought it was a joke, and then we realized people were serious. "If you've going to talk about sex, make it informative and interesting ... it was the most boring show I've ever seen, instead of encouraging people to talk about safe sex it encouraged them to fall asleep."
