I am addicted to American Idol and cannot wait unitil the new season starts. I used to not be able to stand Simon, but last season, I found myself to be thinking on the same level as him in some of his critiques. I am leaning towards Simon as my favorite judge. Who is your favorite judge and why?

My favorite judge is Simon. He is the only one who seems to know what he is talking about, and expresses it. If Randy knows what he's doing (which, obviously he does outside of the show), he needs to make more of an effort to show it. The "Hey dawg" and the "Yo yo yo", and telling everyone that they are good gets old. Paula doesn't say anything worth anything, so she doesn't really count as a judge. Not everyone can be the best, not everyone can make you cry, and no Paula, when 75 percent of those people smile, America is NOT smiling with them. Simon may be harsh, but that's what your gonna get in the music industry, and they don't have time to mess with people with bad attitudes, or people that can't sing.

I opt for Simon too. Yes, he may be the meanest of the mean and all, but thinking about his criticisms, you'd really think twice of who to vote! He really has the point.

I go for Simon, he is true to his self about what he observe from the contestant. His frankness ia avoidable and it is for the contestants to beware and be aware. what you see is what you say.

I would have to say Simon too. When I first started watching I thought he was a jerk but he just tells it like he sees it and he is just honest. I think he makes the show with his rude comments and I like him now. Paula gets on my nerves with that being too nice crap and Randy irritates me with that dog house stuff. It wouldn't be the same without Simon.

I like Randy and Simon both. Paula is too nice--I mean if I was terrible, I would want someone like her to soften the blow BUT Simon makes the show more interesting and keeps the Idols on their toes.

simon is my fave. i like it that he's honest about what he thinks of each contestant to the point of being blunt. his candid comments make the show more interesting.

Simon of course! Paula is way to soft and cushy
