people want Simon Cowell shows to fail because he's an exploitative soulless tycoon who has about as much place in music as a styrofoam cup. He's responsible for the embarrassment and mental breakdowns of hundreds of people, and encourages a society of public shaming and hatred of anything 'weird'. He's also responsible for some terrible, terrible music - Il Divo, Sinitta, Cher Lloyd, Sam & Mark, Angelis... just take a look at the Syco roster, and how long their shelf life was, or is going to be (hey Jonathan & Charlotte, hey Ryan OSHSUSNAUSNsunnessy): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syco_Music

and he really can't preach about working hard to get success - his dad was an EMI executive. Go figure. And he supports the conservatives. And he's just not ****ing funny, or bitchy. Just a prick.

He signed Rachel Crow.

Right there is one prime example of Cowells cold manipulative nature.
