Simon Cowell returned to Britain’s Got Talent tonight and boy did he make an entrance. The media mogul was elevated to the stage surrounded by smoke as the Superman theme played and he was just as smug as ever. Would we have it any other way?
Then he took his seat among the other three judges and the hosts teased him about Cheryl Cole being fired on the US version of The X Factor. Ant and Dec (since I don’t know which is which) said to him, “Can you understand my accent?” Referring to that is the “reason why” she was let go. Simon blew it off with a smile by saying, “Am I missing something here? I just got back, what’s been going on?” Nice way to avoid the question that everyone has been waiting to hear about for a week on both sides of the pond. Seriously why hasn’t Fox or him said anything about it yet???
But back to Mr Mean, his best line came later on when the hosts asked him if he planned on using his buzzer a lot during the semi-finals. The former-American Idol judge said, “I think I am going to be using my left hand a lot tonight.” Once he realized what he said could be interrupted a different way, he had a big laugh and I even think he blushed a little.
I wish he would be as naughty and quick witted here in The States when he returns to the judging table in the fall on Fox because that is the Simon Cowell I love. Seriously after watching his appearance in his home country, doesn’t it seem like he is holding back in his adopted one?
