Simon Cowell’s reaction said it all last week when Fantasia performed Bore Me on American Idol. So since he made that priceless face, we have all been wondering what he was thinking including Ellen Degeneres. So today when she had him on the show and his response was as classic as his reaction to her performance the first time!

WTF was Fantasia thinking screaming, I mean singing that song on American? That was just awful and don’t get me started on the dancing, the hair and that outfit. They were all so bad they speak for themselves. Just like Simon Cowell’s expression to it all together at 2:58 on that YouTube clip.
Homesick Simon Cowell spoke to his hometown paper The Sun about this season of American Idol and let's just say I agree with him.
He said: “To be honest with you I’m not really enjoying the current American Idol season.
“It actually reminds me of the last X Factor series we did. It’s just a bit dull.”
Minus David Cook's performance of Hello, I have seriously forgotten about all the other performances. I still don't know who most of them are, and I am not sure I care to find out who they are.
Maybe now that we are finaly down to Top 12 it will get better. Just maybe…
Tune in to Fox tonight at 8p to see the Top 12 attempt the Beatles.
Simon Cowell is defending American Idol's first winner Kelly Clarkson over the whole record debacle. Here is what he told Entertainment Weekly about the whole situation, ''Kelly is not a puppet; she does not like to be told what to do. She could have gone the easy route, which is, you go with ['Since U Been Gone' producer] Max Martin — it's a guaranteed success. She made it absolutely clear that she wanted to steer the musical direction on this record. You just gotta say, 'You know what? This girl has given us millions and millions of sales.' You've got to give her that opportunity. If it works out, fantastic. If she then decides she wants to do a pop album, every good writer and producer wants to work with her. Because Kelly will be here for 30 years. She has one of the best pop voices in the world right now. What she sold in the U.K., Europe, Asia had nothing to do with American Idol. It had everything to do with the fact that she made a great record and she's got an incredible voice. She's not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her.'' You know what he is 100% right. Clive Davis should be kissing her a$$ because she is his biggest current seller and no matter how different the sound of this album is, she is going to sell like crazy.
