Simon's single greatest talent is his uncanny ability to articulate what we viewers are thinking in our heads but can't spit out quick enough and deliver the critique in a way that is truly original and hits the nail on the head every single time. That my friends is what keeps us coming back each week. To hear what Simon will say next.It's not the crazy, weird, silly and down right embarrassing contestants each year who make themselves look like idiots you can't help but laugh at and feel stupid for laughing afterwards. It's not the unbelievable talent that is discovered across the country who we all cheer for and love seeing their incredible journey unfold as we will wipe the tears from our eyes in recognition of their personal achievements. We tune in each week to hear what Simon says because at the end of the day that's all that matters. Simon keeps us coming back for more. His gift to us is we have a vote in the end.
What a great moment on the American Idol finale tonight with most of the previous Idol winners and other popular Idol contestants came out and sang a song led by Kelly Clarkson and honored Simon. Without his vision and execution none of those people would be standing on that stage. We all can learn from what Simon demonstrated week in and week out from a business standpoint. Be innovative and do what you love. If you do you have a chance to create something special that will impact lives in a positive way and make tons of money in the process.Thank you Simon for shooting straight and holding nothing back. That is what we will miss most. Thank you for the many marked moments over the years. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors. We will be watching and waiting to see what you will do next. Until then...button that shirt.
