I think the difference though is that people hate Simon but like to watch him, I think Stern is hated and won't get watched. -- nm

I haven't listened to him in 10 years but he had a way, then, of coming off as a loveable goofball with no filter. - Mel Profit Feb 8, 08:50
Right, I don't think "love or hate" is right, I think it's more "love TO hate". -- nm - Ender Feb 8, 08:43 14
- Who could do it though? I couldn't be Simon, and give people the harsh truth & dash their dreams. What Ellen and Paula do/did is easy. - flavorize Feb 8, 08:45 13
  - Personally, I think they've already failed. Kara was their Paula replacement, Ellen should have been their Simon replacement. -- nm - Ender Feb 8, 08:50
  - the guys on Canadian Idol are good at it (except for Farley), the other two while unknown could fill the role easily -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 08:46 1
    - Forgot about all the other Idol shows. Yeah, someone has to be able to jump from the minors to the big leagues. -- nm - flavorize Feb 8, 08:51
  - But that only holds water if the person criticizing seems like they know what they are talking about. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 08:46 9
    - P Diddy? Bono? Kanye? I can't think of any other people who could be dicks but back it up. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 8, 08:50 7
      - Pharrell. Timbaland. Friggin Posh Spice. I could list another dozen, I bet. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 08:53 6

        Non of those people is a Simon type. Kanye maybe -- nm - Redmond Feb 8, 08:58 4
        
        Although Kanye says stupid things only because he's stupid -- nm - Redmond Feb 8, 08:58
        
        wholly disagree. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 08:58 2
        
        Posh Spice wasn't abrasive, and she was a guest host. -- nm - Redmond Feb 8, 08:59 1
        
        she would, of course, be exactly the same if given the fulltime job. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 09:00
    - Yep. How about someone like, Phil Collins? -- nm - flavorize Feb 8, 08:47
