simon thats rude!!

[ElloLambaby]

I work in customer service, & I often scratch my face or push up my glasses with my middle finger. I'm TRYING to be conscious whenever I do & use my index instead. Fortunately I've never had any complaints to date. xD

[CaliKiitty]

That awkward moment when the top comments are the same.

[X4EverMyGirlPaulaAX]

hahha paula laugh is so adorable!!!

[Pablo26994]

simon is a big idiot

[nazihah786]

[BeBeAyumiReturns]

[trollionaire]

simon hates gingers

[ChivasBarcelonaMex]

@trollionaire Just like everyone else in the world

[Tahlia350]

LOOK LOOK ITS RICK ASTLEY!

[emosashiru]

0:31 he was saying 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKIN CUNT!"

[hollyrogs]

noo he was checking if he needed to renew his botox

[Mugetsushield]

he looks like the rick roll guy.

[hollyrogs]

@Mugetsushield rick astley!?

[RebeccaJoySchultz]

indian auto tune anyone?

[ThatScottishGuy2010]

FUCK OFF！

[vTxTobi]

He flick him off cuase he was a ginger

[FatalityG15]

Is it just me or is the sound CRAP!?

[YusufAlaseeri]

scratching with your middle finger is quite common...

[TwitterBug26]

People were trying to say Simon gave Shaheen, who is a young boy, the finger as well. I just wonder sometimes if we're all watching the same show, because it would never cross my mind that he'd give the finger to any of these kids. He takes his job very very seriously. He's rude but not abusive. He absolutely would not intentionally flip off a contestant who did nothing to him at all.

[TwitterBug26]

On an episode of American Idol Paula pretended to scratch her head, but she was actually giving Simon the finger. They blurred it out. It's on YouTube somewhere. Then during Shaheen's audition of X Factor Simon wiped off his lips with his middle finger when the camera was on him. I'm telling you, it's a signal!!! Or I'm reaching...lol. :)

[Frienever]

0:35, lol, Simon did the middle finger for him hahaha.

[XxLittleLadiesxX]

<O.O>

[N1k1mon]

Yeah, Simon needs to mask insulting people since he's so timid about the whole thing.

Fail, waste of time. Dr Cal Lightman says you're full of shit.

[mariofan4523]

Think it was intentional, as Simon considers personality a huge attribute. Most people don't use their middle finger to scratch their face, usually index finger. I'm a big Simon fan but still think this was on purpose.

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

cowell parasite 

[TheArtisticWorld]

He shot the middle finger up by accident

[1batman2jr]

he did this couple time to ppl

[vicktorianna44]

ooooooooooo crap he like f u man lol

[FutureRodeoQueen]

OH WOW =O

[skaterdudes2020]

i rmbr this on the tabloids when i was younger

[shezzaree]

the sound is really bad on this

[PoppinProfessor]

alright seriously how many of us use our middle finger to point or scratch like your eye, a good majority of us, get over it

[mariofan4523]

@PoppinProfessor Have to disagree, Why would you use a larger finger to rub or scratch a sensitive area like your eye? Most would use a smaller finger, usually the pinky or index finger to avoid injuring your eye. It's also not as convenient to slip your middle finger out between two fingers, having to hold teo two fingers down. Come on, do you stick your biggest finger in or around your eye? Flipping the bird as Simon did is used for one purpose.

[tybiula]

hey, u guys!!.. have a look at our malaysian idol jaclyn victor!! i don wanna say more..jus watch on u tube..jus type 'jaclyn victor's awesome performances part 1&2'..u will be amazed by her..shes got the head voice..shes the only one in this world who can hold microfon higher on top her head..huh!!..so goosebump to watch her great talent!..shes world class voice!..so do adam lambert and fantasia barrino too..hope jac can team up wit adam and fantasia

[smeeesh1]

That was slick....

[Ashchethem]

Why the hell would he do that on purpose? He's on live TV. Gosh.

[d20beckham]

the middle finger means nothing in england he wasnt being rude its the same thing as you using your index finger.

[jbohler33]

That was so intentional rofl fucker flicked him off

[TheRealDeal1515]

Haha, I immediately noticed it XD !

[Lillywhite8814]

Stupid excuse to post a video!!!

[aimz4132]

He's not being rude it's unintentional like playing with your hair or scratching your head

[LUFERWWE]

LOL 0:33 xD just go to 0:33 :D

[TheExterminator100]

thats not even rude the guys a crapy dancer wat

[sarethums]

No rudeness = massive fail.

[denully]

where is it written that the middle finger can only be used for signing "Fuck You" ? :)

[mangualc]

he does that unknowingly hes not flicking him off

[NeverSeenHairspray65]

when that kid sang michael jacksons whos lovin u simon did the middle finger but its just a habit cuz in that episode he was scratching himself

[thebasketballgrl]

i think simon did it on accident and then changed it cause he was so into talking 2 the guy that he didn't notice his finger and then he noticed and putted it away!

[ChivasBarcelonaMex]

@thebasketballgrl i dont wanna thumb this up cus ur thumbs up are 69 nd dats a really fun number ;)

[KruerIyago]

It looks like it wasn't intentional, he realized what he was doing, and switched his finger.

[DonnellKennethChann]

NOTICE THE MIDDLE FINGER!!!!!!

LoL

[LucarioFan8]

I like the fact that the guy either didn't want to make a scene or just didn't notice xD

[jaszeeweili]

is simon good or bad?

[31athazz]

0:37 watch this haha

[MissBelinda100]

i think 'simon cowell' needs to get his personality in check!! ohh but then of course his god himself lol. well he likes to think so - especially when he is spending all your money to be a bully!!

[ThisIsJohnnyBlack]

Check out SIMON COWELLS BIRTHDAY BASH on YouTube.

[almozani]

good on him man! who da hel would be interested to knw man wat da!!! lol

[q3malignant]

many people unconsciencely give the finger

[xomiya]

you actually think hes doing this on purpose? hes not some immature 40 year old. and its not a foreign thing im british and i dont do it. its just another bad habit of his, like the infamous chest rubbing. love him though, he always seems to make my day.

[icewolf293]

no to mention that outside North America, the middle finger means nothing.

The british version of the middle finger is sticking the first two fingers up and showing the back of the hand

[Rorzzz123]

haha icewold293, you are talking a load of bullshit! The middle finger means exactly the same thing in england and in america.

[AnimalNitrates]

@icewolf293 If you stuck your middle finger up at somebody in Britain, you can expect them to be offended.

[Pockypick]

i think its just his habit and he did that unknowingly

[4tt1]

"0:37" he does this so often when he's pwning someone! hahahah

[tedtdu]

simon , you need to be careful, worst fucker

[BelarusIsFun]

who is the worst fucker?

[dakilla657]

i think its a foreign thing. a lot of non-american people tend to point with their middle finger rather than their index finger cuz my dad wasnt born/raised here and he tends to point with his middle finger. funny video though

[nigahigasnumbuh1fan]

lmao lol

[knightj60]

my teacher did that but the finger was on my book when she tried to show me something... *sigh* i haaaad to tell her...*sigh*

[howsyou12]

i dont tink he ment it coz he changed fingers quikly once he relised

[xHizukax]

ahhaahahaah

its like he was saying to the kid "fuck you man!" ahahaahah

[MrKewlkid123]

wow that mean!!!!!

[misher06]

this is not the first time i've seen simon did that...i just can't remember when...

[gmanskater1234]

he did the middle finger on shaheen the kid who sang who's loving u by jackson 5

[misher06]

yes...that's the one...so you noticed too. thanks.

[Gogreen365]

wow. how did paula not notice that! LOL

[roydawgg]

dude that kids babyface when he saw the middle finger was priceless

[cubsrule7648]

i sorta feel bad for simon because i've accidently done that before and my dad was like, are you flicking me off(jokingly) but he did it on tv but he corrected it. good job.

[natagaima]

was that an uncounscious action?

[blissfuldharma]

lololololol! ahahah!

[Adam5hole]

that isn't rude

[kobe32123]

Rick Astley?

[stephenbowman18]

simon is gay

[Ooglaf123]

its funny how his thumb is conviniently stuck out to the side like that xD

[lilcjie]

0:37 is the part where simon smiles and switch his finger knowing if he held it to long everyone would notice. TOUCHE'

[BunnyBona]

he always sticks his mid finger in that way!

[Bones0]

Simon is so used to being a jerk that he subconsciously gave him the middle finger because he was complimenting him.

[EastynELECTRiC]

.......................

[HardyHar1234]

Dat was actually really funny!!!

The contestant was like "is he flinging me off???....I wasnt dat bad was I.....?" lol

[willmspoh]

I do not think that was intentional.

[suckmahuyner]

ginger

[Alyssa0401]

Love the finger .....hes doing it with a smile on his face ........ Like he says ..."Sorry dude u suck !!"

[langerCAN]

lern 2 splel

[666gz]

haha it looks like he found out what finger he was using and then he's like "oh no" and then he switches it lol!!!

[nicoleo22]

i love simon....i think he is great fun and he comes out telling the absolute truth....

[DFBGZ]

It's actually a habit of his. I saw him do that on "Britain's Got Talent" He did not do that to flip him off. I think he realized that he was scratching with his middle finger and changed it.

[joemufc2]

the next coming of Rick Astley (Christ)

[DizzyIsi]

it isnt even his middle finger! its his index finger,idiot!

[rexrex22]

It was his middle finger at first actually ... he changes it afterwards :-).

[CommandoBurton]

Correct

[BuffaloMic]

And still it's harder to notice until you see him change to his other finger.

[wilburbonzo]

I don't see how an honest judge could avoid being rude. It's not like judging a painting or a work of art. A performer or a singer IS the work of art, so inevitably it will be personal.

[coryart]

I notice Simon doing that all the time. Most of the time it's obvious he's not doing it intentionally. It is however a mannerism that can reveal a persons true feelings, regardless of what they say. It was a mannerism recently featured in "Lie To Me", a show about the real science of micro-expressions.

[Delockony0kkp]

XD a lot of people do that. I don't think it was intentional, but it was still funny.

[meowlopperdoodle]

lol you dipshit thats why they were picked. they were good singers but noone liked there music. then they tried out 4 american idol.

[bluemoonhaunts]

SIMON MUAH!

[dragon82296]

that was defentitaly his middle finger

[ImMe1314]

that was his index finger retards

[tophatchick]

It was his middle finger (0:34), then he switched to his index finger (0:38). See it now?

[ImMe1314]

ah I see thanks

LMAOO

[souljareggie]

ImMe actually you're the retard because it was his middle finger for bout 4 secs

[ImMe1314]

lol fucking retard you post that after I relized it 2 weeks ago

[amycandysi]

i dont really think he did it in purpose i mean hey we all do things like that sometimes

[yongjie1997]

Gee! I thought I've got rick roll'd. That guy looks like rick astley!

[No1ZeBoMB]

Never Gonna Give you up.!!!

[PWRSTR0KER2008]

LMAO

[ponysRmylife]

he didnt stick his finger at a contestant but he stuck it at himself!!loser

[nsr5678]

kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

simon is just ughhh

man with simon in american idol

then its just gonna be boring

[nobby300]

Tired of someone speaking the truth?

Simon is truthful 100%.

If it wasn't for Simon, American wank-dol wouldn't be anywhere popular as it is today.

[michuacon]

OOO! How clever! "American wank-dol". What are you, eleven? They were talking about how he had is middle finger there. He removed it upon realizing it. I can speak your so-called truth, too.

[Fomelogo]

110% AGREED...

you guys allways say "omg simon is so cruel..."

but he is just plain honest. When i watch him i pretty much all the time think "i wish there'd be someone who tells this guy how awful he sings"... and there's simon

[vincenthieu]

I swear this fking cun did it on PURPOSE he always does that everytime he judges people that he doesn't think its perfect!

[getdownadam]

I was under the impression that it's some kind of sign to people who are watching, just like a performer will scratch their nose on stage etc.

[jackerzsnackerz]

haha i think he realized halfway through and then he changed fingers

[lnh92]

Yea you can see him smile then change sorta embarrassed.

[kim18694]

oh i didnt get it at first then i read ur description thats funny

[PineappleJellySwirls]

hahahaha! i dont watch american idol either, i only watch the auditions

[drewsin9]

Hahah, same here. I'm not interested in their singing, the auditions are just an hour or two of pure comedy.

[ybnvs2]

Did everyone forget that Barack Obama gave Hillary Clinton the finger during the democrat primary? Simon didn't mean it, Barack did. Nice guy that Barack, what an immature stooge.

[XX3pacXX]

he also gave mcain the finger

[drewsin9]

You my, good sir, are absolutely correct. He's such a fucking tool!

[MiNiSmiLeY45]

ahhhhhhhhaahahahaha

lol simon is a BITCH ahahah lol

funny

i personnally

yeaaa ahhaha

[DiffrentStef]

LOL!!

[deadpalette]

[redknights08]

[Dam13Z]

[Broonlie]

it was.

[afteq]

No, he's right it was the Middle finger

[Broonlie]

no you mean iam right. he said it wasnt.

[afteq]

to be honest I was hoping you'd spot it. But you're a chav so I'll point this out in a more understandable way look at the spelling VERY carefully

[Broonlie]

Iam still not understanding what your on about, i was correct.

[afteq]

"middEL" as apposed to the correct "middLE"

[Broonlie]

lol i never said that.

[JediMasterKadin]

Just for the record, he switched from middle to first finger.

[Broonlie]

of course he did.

[ShadowSoulja]

.... I do that all the time. tons of people do. Five bucks says the contestant didn't even notice.

[avataraang13579]

i know!!!! finally someone who understands

[kaylawilliams21]

that wasnt rude at all

[nursesue3]

I love Simon and No! he wasn't being rude.

[leon6266]
