Simon Cowell Song Quotations

No matter how good the singer you are, you're always going to be tied to the song you sing. If I have to guess based on the song you sang, I think Elliott, you'll stay.

I never want to hear that song again. I cannot stand it. I'm allergic to it.

I think the song was bigger than you.

Music should always be polarizing. What one person likes, somebody else hates. And I hate that kind of snobbery in pop music. The fact that so many people are getting upset over this one song is hysterical. And if people like it, that's great.

You sounded like someone who should be singing on a cruise ship. Halfway through your song, I wished the ship was sinking.

I like to know why a video has suddenly gone viral, why a song has broken, why a TV show is suddenly rating out of pattern... I'm pretty good at understanding why things are becoming popular.

They understand what their market is and who they should be selling records to, and most importantly, they know the kind of artist that they want to be, but they have to do it themselves. You don't want a 13-year-old singing some awful song from a musical.

The truth is, Lisa, is that the song was too big for your voice. There were parts during the performance where it was actually painful.

You've got six years of songs to choose from and you chose a song called 'Soap Suds In a Bucket.' Oh, come on.

I thought the song was boring. It is 'American Idol' and you've got to be as broad as possible.

They don't perform that song live because it's not a very good song.

It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns" (After Brooke White of season 7 on american idol sang the song 'Hero' by Mariah Carey)
