Is it just me or has anyone else noticed Simon's complete lack of interest this season?
I'm not sure whether it's this season's finalists or the show itself but I think Simon is definitely show signs of wear and tear.
He looks completely disinterested in what's happening around him - especially in front of him - and seems to be showing up for work just so he can collect his pay.
He's the only judge that has anything relevant to say.
And HE'S bored...

I think you're right, but I think it's being done for a reason. After a while you can't help but get totally disinterested when the two people sitting beside you are complete idiots. I mean, when you can actually sit there and succesfully articulate what's wrong/right with the people on stage yet, the other two judges get by with saying things like "It was ayyyight dawg" or "The audience loves you, I love you, everybody loves you!", it tends to, I assume, get on your nerves after a while.

See that what's I keep saying to people!
When are they going to have auditions for American Idol JUDGE?
I mean, I can do what Randy and Paula do. No sweat!
If they sit me in the middle chair at the Judges' table I'll say all or any combination of the following:
"You're beautiful. Good job! The audience loves you. I love your voice. Good job! Oh Simon. Shut up Simon. Good job!"
*and perhaps given recent events I could also say*
"Can someone drive me home, I'm not allowed behind the wheel for a while...but Good job!"

If the sit me first at the Judges' table I have no problem with saying:
"That was aiight dawg. It was just aiiight."
I mean I think I can say it if I pretend I'm having a stroke.
