On the show EXTRA (May 29), Simon said "shows how selfish he is" that he did not talk to anyone, would not sing with anyone, and did not even say goodbye. He ended with something like "thank you prince for you generosity"

simon cowell is gross.

That was THE best part of the entire performance... arrive JUST in time. Perform. Turn back on Seacrest and bolt.

Like Simon Cowell is a poster child for manners.

i think Simon was mad because he assumed he would get to talk to him? jealous much?

I heard Chris, Ace, Taylor, and Catherine met Prince

Like they didn't know going in how bitchy Prince can be

CalhounSq said:

seriously!

I'm sure at award shows, the producers have to plan shit out


"Don't sit him next to Mariah--they gonna spar! "

Cowell hates to lose face. Normally, he's the one demeaning others.

I'm not phased or surprised by what Simon Cowell said about Prince of all people. He can say what he wants to but the proof is in the performance and Prince kicked ass. Plus it's not true that he didn't speak to the contestants, as a couple of them said that they did. In fact, I watched Ace say in an interview live after AI here in NY that Prince introduced himself to Chris and Ace and they both couldn't speak, so Simon's lying through his teeth.

But you know what this also says. It says to me that Simon had no idea about the surprise guest. Sounds like someone's jealous that he didn't get to speak to Prince. Serves him right, especially after the shit he's said about Prince in the past.

It's true. Simon did not know....but all of u did.

Only the producers, and the host knew that work for the show. The two finalists were told the special guests were Mary J. Blige n Clay.

Simon should be bitch slapped...


ooppps did I say that out loud....

Do you mean like this??

Simon has issues. We knew this already, but this fact is reinforced by his recent comments. At times I applaud him for being honest (if overly so) when no one else will be, but he can be...strange. And he is most definitely jealous.

I don't know why the public loves Simon. Being honest ain't much use if you're wrong.

Or if you're ungrateful. Mr. Cowell here is lucky he got to be in Prince's very presence!!!

So Prince is still Prince despite appearing on American Idol.

Kinda comforting, actually.

I dont think prince has to answer or talk to the likes of mr cowell(simon is part of the cancer that is ruining the music scene anyway).And what about the way simon cowell uses and spits out people that want to make it big.it is he that is selfish and disgusting.

simon powell is a cunt, plain and simple. he says unnecessarily mean things to those poor people on the show. he makes sport of putting people down.

really, who even cares what he thinks?

Prince behaving like a bitch is what makes it forgiveable about him performing on that show in the first place. I'm glad to see he gave them attitude like they are beneath him because they are. As far as this Simon person not liking it,....good, I'm glad he doesn't like it. Prince was being a bitch and the whole point of being a bitch is to piss someone off. Hell, mission accomplished.

who gives a rat's ass, i mean really if people are so hung up about that shit,you should know better.
