Cowell plays dirty every year. In a way he invalidates the whole contest by undermining the more talented singers just so that he can win. He completely destroyed Dionne Mitchells confidence when she was one of the better singers in series three.

Cowell dirty tactics are one of the reason why I keep going on and on about how the contest should be judged solely on talent and not commerciality. The high emphasis on commerciality leads to mediocre winners like Leon.
