AMERICAN IDOL WITH SIMON 'THE MERCILESS' COWELL IS ON!!!

It's that time of the year when the world rocks with music and new talent on American Idol and their leader Simon 'The Merciless' Cowell. The show is airing its first stage the audition process when Simon and his judging buddies Paul Abdul and Randy 'Represent Dog' Jackson tour various American cities in search of the next American Idol.

This stage is more a mix of serious talent and comedy from those who can't sing and are characters. The question is who would survive the tryout and make it to the next stage in the Hollywood auditions. It's a question more so if Simon gives them the thumbs up for approval or the thumbs down indicating his rejection of their talent.

But wait…. their seems to be something new about this year's presentation…. the judges seem to be getting along and have stopped bickering as they have in the past. It's as if this season AI judges are emulating a rerun of a 60's Love Festival. No harm no foul they say but from the outset the man with four vowels Mr. Simon Cowell is feeling the heat of love and affection along with his critics on this tour.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the city commonly referred to as the 'City of Brotherly Love' was the first stop and offered one of the worlds most criticized people something to sharpen his rebuttal skills.

One of the auditions featured an overweight 16-year-old girl who was trying out for her mother who is wheel chair bound and also overweight. The girl failed to make the cut and after her audition and broke out in tears. The judges felt bad after she said she couldn't go out and face her mother and friends after not qualifying to go to Hollywood. The judges assured her that it's not a bad thing to fail and offered to walk out with her.

With the girl still crying they entered the lobby of the hotel where her mother and friends greeted the young girl and a burly man said to Simon, "I hope you weren't rough on her man."

Cowell rose to the occasion and displayed no fear and replied, "No I wasn't". With his quick response Simon escaped what could have been a dose of physical punishment from a resident of the lovable city.

Another female who auditioned and failed the test was extremely dejected and angry. After she stalked out of the audition room she was interviewed and said, "Excuse me…. you sir (Cowell)... SUCK." She then released more of her anger at the Brit on camera but without Cowell being present. She turned her back to the camera, bent over and showed Simon and the world what she was talking about and said. "If I could legally moon ya (you) I would."

Oh my for the love of Cowell. More trials and tribulations in the life of Simon Cowell continue as he carries on to do his job in his quest to find the next American Idol. But Cowell also displayed his softer gentler side, almost enough to give one a warm fuzzy feeling.

After Paula rejected a girl who lost an eye in an auto accident and sang with a Janis Joplin style voice Simon surprisingly said yes and noted, "I absolutely love her." Randy added, "Welcome to Hollywood."

But there's more. A surprising number of those who auditioned stated they were fans of Simon. One attractive girl praised Cowell on camera to AI host Ryan Seacrest. She went into the audition room and praised Cowell in front of him and went on to sing well. She made it to Hollywood.

But the ultimate pleasure of love to Cowell came when an older man wearing a white outfit with white wings that was complimented with a white feathered hat with wings. He was around 40 years of age. The man entered the room praising Cowell. The cutoff to audition for the show is 28 years-old. This is where the comedy becomes a factor in the show.

The man sang a song including the lyrics:

I am your brother

Your best friend forever

Your best friend.. till the end of time......

Paula and Randy were so excited they got up and danced with the man. He was rejected but Cowell remarked that he had a strange feeling that the song would become a hit. It was for the AI producers as a clip from that event is now being used in their TV promotions of the show.

You can say what you want about the American Idol judges and the love him or leave him man Simon Cowell but folks... the reality is.. they get your attention and THAT'S... ENTERTAINMENT.
