I Knew It.

I knew there was a reason I hated Simon Cowell. This is it:

One of the show's judges, Simon Cowell, says he has never bought a Dylan record because he "bores me to tears."

The British pop impresario says in the February issue of Playboy that he would "plug my ears and run in the other direction" if he were to see a 21-year-old Dylan singing "Blowin' in the Wind."

[...]

On the other hand, he told Playboy that inaugural champ Kelly Clarkson is "a young Aretha Franklin," and he much preferred her music to Dylan's

If I were Aretha Franklin, I'd sue.

Kelly Clarkson over Bob Dylan? Unbelievable...
