"There has to come a point when I will step down from being on camera and remain behind the scenes because you can't keep doing this for ever. I have three more seasons under contract with American Idol and that will be it. And it will probably come at the same time in the UK. I am contracted for another two or three seasons in Britain and I think by that point the public will be sick to death of me anyway and it will be time to go. Three years and that's it - I will do what I've always done. I run a record label, I run a TV company, we're making movies now - I love that part of my life. I probably get more satisfaction from making a show than being on a show. I've been lucky, but I also know when not to outstay my welcome."

- Simon Cowell told reporters this week, as a new season of X Factor is set to begin

      I'm FIRST YEAH!!!!

      Oops… I guess I'm 2nd… nevermind!! (lol)

      Anyway… I'm sick of Simon Cowell already! I'm happy that he created a complete media juggernaut and is making millions of dollars telling people they suck (don't we all wish WE could make money like that just for being too honest to people?) but I have grown immensly tired of American Idol, ya'll.

      Who's with me on that one??

      I'm sure they will let him out of whatever contract he has. Go Now, PLEASE LEAVE AND TAKE ALL THOSE OTHER BRITS THAT ARE JUDGING AMERICAN SHOWS WITH YOU.

    39. YankyWanker says – reply to this


      39

      I just love how Simon can screw u Yanks for millions… loads comments about his "time is now over" .. sad thing is you're so stupid as to let him have his time in the 1st place… ROTFLMFAO…..

      When is friggin Paula Abdul going to feel the same way as Simon??? Probably never. She is so desperate for attention that she TRIES to have her own reality show… that bomed!!! They all should give it up!!!

    41. h says – reply to this


      41

      if idol is still popular three years from now i can guarantee you simon will stay, no matter what he says now. it's just a matter of the salary!

    42. sue says – reply to this


      42

      Simon Cowell is boring without Paula Abdul. I watch his other shows and they are much more boring. He needs Paula.

    43. calgal_27 says – reply to this


      43

      Smart move. May be a tad too late, but contracts are contracts. There are a mountain of other celebs that should take a page from Simon's playbook. ;)

    44. skyline says – reply to this


      44

      Simon needs Ryan's cock in his mouth!!!!

    45. noo says – reply to this


      45

      no matter what simon might think, Paula is the star of american idol, not him. she is the one people talk about and she is the only one who is famous even among people that have never watched American Idol. hey i had never even heard of simon until i started watching idol in 2006

      I'm tired of the same tight black t-shirt

    47. CATHAZAT says – reply to this


      47

      Simon is so hot. He is the best part of American Idol and has always been the only reason I watch. My daughter and I often say what he says before he even says it (channeling Simon?) and then high-five each other when he agrees. He tells the truth and that, and those tight shirts, are incredibly sexy. He reminds me of the kind of kid we all had in class growing up: the misunderstood smart ass in the back row who mouthed off to the teacher, was quite devilish, and brilliant. And the kind of guy many women fall hard and fast for later on.

    48. SHOWDOWN says – reply to this

      I LOVE SIMON…HIM AND PEREZ SHOULD HAVE A SHOWDOWN…OBVIOUSLY SIMON WILL WIN!

      aww i love american idol and it will be sad to see him go. the show won't be the same.and he is by far the best judge….they're probably just gonna stop AI when he leaves:((

    51. marina says – reply to this


      51

      I love SIMON!
      AI without him is NOTHING!

      COOL…HE ROCKS!!..HE really does…You can tell he's not about bulshit!..DUH..

      53

      Once Cowell's gone, AI will be done with. I can't wait.

    54. Margarita says – reply to this


      54

      Actually, I feel like American Idol & Simon Cowell have already overstayed its welcome. I'm pretty shocked and disappointed to discover that we still have three whole long frickin' years of Idol ahead of us.

      55

      "overstay ur welcome"??? man…you are way past that time hun! I say you start walking now, buh bye

      57

      He thinks the public will be "sick to death" of him in 3 years? Hell, we were sick of him 3 years AGO!

    58. SpadeAShovel. says – reply to this


      58

      Not sick of your delightful candor as of yet, Simon.
      What I enjoy about you is the same thing I enjoy in Roseanne and Sharon Osbourne. You have an unerringly accurate internal Bullshit Meter. Thank you.

    59. kaz says – reply to this


      59

      'not out stay my welcome'???? Dear jesus surly the world would be a better place if that prick had just stayed behind the camera altogether??

    60. Wise Young Owl says – reply to this


      60

      Simon calls it as he *sees* it. He's pretty upfront. Sometimes cruel, but he cuts thru the bullsh*t. I think he's smart not overdoing it after his 3 years are up. I do like Simon though, he brings a much needed perspective.

    61. Mark says – reply to this


      61

      Simon, you've OVERSTAYED your welcome by 5 seasons now. You produce absolute crap music, it's 'flavor of the moment', absolutley nothing of staying power. At least Randy Jackson has the skill and talent to produce everything from R&B, Rock, to country. THAT GUY is versatile and his opinions are the ONLY ones that are valid. Simon, you're a broken record, same attitude and put-downs each year, you are truly OVERRATED! Oh, and as each season is getting progressively lower ratings, you better hope your still RELEVANT in 3 years!

    62. Sorry Simon says – reply to this


      62

      Oh hell no ! Sorry Simon but yur a keeper…

      Uhm, bad news, fuck face. I got tired of your ass after season one and stopped watching Idol then. I can get all the highlights of the TALENT on youtube and don't have to even look at your flabby man tits and bingo wings.
