Simon Cowell Hates Hicks, Slams Hudson
...maybe because Jennifer Hudson slammed American Idol.

After the blows to Simon Cowell’s reality show "American Idol" from former contestant Jennifer Hudson little speech on stage at the Oscar's, he attacked in return. At the Museum of Television & Radio last week, Simon's attacks to Hudson, "At the end of the day of American Idol, we are looking for a real recording artist, because without that there is no competition. This show is not a popularity contest. Unfortunately, it was because popularity contests when contestants like Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry, or Jennifer Hudson."

Simon let it rip against Jennifer Hudson's Oscar speech, 'was ridiculous, it showed how her successes has taken over her sensibility, turning her against the one show that put her in the spotlight in the first place.
If it wasn't for us recognizing her for her talent she would have never ever landed the movie Dreamgirls. Jennifer Hudson needs to be thanking us not screwing us.'
