大多數觀眾第一次知道西蒙·科威爾是在2002年《美國達人秀》第一季中，當時他是評委。粉絲們既愛又恨西蒙·科威爾——雖然他的幽默和獨創性非常吸引人，但他對參賽者的嚴厲批評，經常包括對外表的評論，讓一些人感到不快。不管有多少人喜歡他的個性，這個節目都非常成功，廣受大眾歡迎和喜歡。
粉絲們很高興地看到，自從《美國達人秀》之後，西蒙的評判風格並沒有多大變化。他標誌性的諷刺繼續逗樂著觀眾，各種各樣的參賽者在舞臺上展示著各種技能。當然，西蒙有時也會因為對《美國達人秀》節目中出現的那些直言不諱的批評而得到負面的反饋。他的評委同伴豪伊·曼德爾向馬裡奧·洛佩茲敞開了心扉，並透露到西蒙比他在電視上露面時對參賽者更溫和、關愛有加。
Fans were pleased to see that Cowell’s judging style hadn’t changed much in the years since American Idol. His signature sarcasm continued to entertain viewers as a wide variety of contestants, all displaying various skills, paraded across the stage.
Of course, Cowell does sometimes get negative feedback for his often-blunt criticisms of those that appear on America’s Got Talent. His fellow judge, Howie Mandel, opened up to Mario Lopez and revealed that Cowell is much more sensitive than he appears on television.
曼德爾聲稱，在廣告間隙，西蒙會走到那些不知所措或表現不佳的參賽者面前，安慰他們。「他是每個人的父親，」曼德爾說，這讓洛佩茲突然露出了難以置信的笑容。
Mandel claimed that in between takes, on commercial breaks, Cowell would go up to contestants who were overwhelmed, or who hadn’t performed well and console them. 「He’s everyone’s dad,」 Mandel said, which caused Lopez to break into a disbelieving grin.
2014年2月，西蒙第一次當爸爸，這可能讓他變得更好，讓他成為一個更有同情心的人。也有可能，西蒙一直都有比較溫和的一面，但他只是在不拍鏡頭的時候才會透露出來，以便讓觀眾覺得有趣。無論如何，毫無疑問，西蒙在未來幾年仍將是粉絲們的最愛，儘管他脾氣暴躁。
It is possible that becoming a father for the first time in February 2014 has changed Cowell for the better, and caused him to become a much more empathetic human being. It could also be that Cowell has always had a softer side,
but only chooses to reveal it when not on camera, in order to keep things interesting for viewers. Whatever the case, Cowell will no doubt continue to be a fan favorite for years to come, in spite of his grumpy persona.
