I've always liked Simon, even when he got “snarky” with contestants. More often than not his advice was dead on, he just had a thorny way of delivering the message sometimes. AI is in trouble without him; but I am looking forward to the “X Factor”.

Yup. You'll notice that the ones who actually listen to what he tells them during the competition do much better than those who don't. Most of the time, a agree completely with what he had to say.
