A community portal about Simon Cowell with blogs, videos, and photos. Cowell is an artist and repertoire executive for BMG in the UK, but is best known as a judge on the television programmes Pop Idol, American Idol, and The X Factor, where he is notorious for his unsparingly blunt and often controversial criticism of the contestants. He is known for combining activities in the television and music industries, having produced singles and records for various television characters such as the Power Rangers. Cowell would later find pop acts who had acted on television shows. Live on the X Factor on the 18th November 2006, Simon stated that he was 50% Scottish as he was being targeted by fellow judges as anti-Scottish. The week before he said he was 25% Scottish.
