I have no idea what would make Cowell say such a thing?!?!

"He's a complicated man,
But no one understands him but his woman..."
Or, as Woody would have it:
"But no one understands him but
the adopted daughter of his former lover..."
Complicated indeed.

Oh, and as to the song selection? After covering
the Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes classic,
where exactly *is* Mick Hucknall today?

IF you gave Anthony a bad curly perm and a bit of the strawberry blonde who could pass for the famous white guy who sang this song into the top forty in the 90s. That little tiny guy from Simply Red.

As opposed to Bo Bice who sang "For the Love of Money" with pure soul.

If Woody Allen played John Shaft, that would instead make him the Hebrew Hammer: "Shabbat Shalom, Motherf**kers!"

Admittedly, Simon has a point, but . . .
Wouldn't this have been classified as "hate-speech" if the message were reversed?
