Simon Cowell (as usual) lashed his tongue out during an interview. This time he was focused on Taylor Hicks. From the beginning of his journey, Simon has always made it known that he wasn't very fond of Taylor. This pretty much solidifies that.

"They (Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson) loved him. I couldn't stand him. I didn't get it," Cowell snapped, adding that "at the end of the day you have to find a bona fide recording artist. Just because you win the show doesn't mean you will sell a lot of records. Chris (Daughtry) is the one who sold the albums, not Taylor." (source)
