Siobhan Magnus Calls Out Simon Cowell: "He didn't care...It was offensive" | Ace Young, Alexis Grace, American Idol, Diana DeGarmo, Siobhan Magnus | mjsbigblog[h=1]Siobhan Magnus Calls Out Simon Cowell: “He didn’t care…It was offensive”[/h]
Ah ha ha ha. Siobhan Magnus totally calls out Simon Cowell for sleep walking through her season of American Idol in a recent interview with a Branson radio station. The sixth place finisher was a finalist on Season 9, Simon’s last before he quit to mount X Factor for FOX.
While Season 8 Idol, Alexis Grace (She and Scott Savol were part of the interview, promoting their six week residency at the Andy William Theater) Siobhan describes a very different experience.
“I was on the last season that had Simon,” explains Siobhan. “And it was so obvious to us that mentally, he was already moved on to the next show.”
Siobhan explains futher, “He was not present for us. He didn’t care. He wouldn’t even watch the show most of the time! He’d be sitting there leaning back and puffing his cheeks out like ‘Am I done yet?’” Siobhan looks at her watch to illustrate Simon’s boredom.
“It was offensive,” Siobhan reveals. “It was really hard.”
She then goes on to recount how all of Simon’s critiques of her were about her clothes.
Simon’s horrible attitude during Season 9 is not news to Idol watchers. But it’s interesting to hear how the contestants who had to endure his bad attitude felt about it. Siobhan used the pronoun “we” often enough to indicate there were other cast members who share her opinion.
The fact of the matter is YEARS from now, when the reality tv era/competition era is studied in media classes, Idol will be the main one/probably only one talked about.

He is doing a awful lot of talking for someone whos first winner was a two time dumped from their label who was dumped again after his first album coming off the show tanked and one of their front running contestants this past season was a AI reject who didn't even make the Top 24.
When "The Voice" has been on for 11 years and has actually produced someone who makes an impact on the music world then he can talk right now he needs to shut up.
