Simon Cowell ‘changed’ by fatherhood

But that doesn’t mean Simon Cowell isn’t embarrassed about the messy way they got together.

“There’s things you have to just do and you guys did that tonight without the professional experience”.

Cheryl, their mentor said that she is so proud of 4th Impact. According to Cowell, he taught the ten-month-old to share and say please and thank you.

There was concern for Celina, a member of Filipino sibling group 4th Impact.

Then Max Stone gave a powerful performance of Bruce Springsteen’s Secret Garden from Jerry Maguire – and it was dedicated to his girlfriend, aww!

The truth is that in one form or another nearly every contestant is going to face adversity at one point or another on the show; it is really all about how they bounce back that really matters. Good thing her sister Irene was hugging her.

One of the girls, Celina, collapsed on stage after their performance of Beyonce’s “Work It Out” and her band mates huddled around her to keep her from falling over.

Cowell said: “Under the circumstances that was the most incredible performance we have ever seen”. I kept saying right to the end that there was hope.

Meanwhile, Boys category hopeful Ché Chesterman earned another standing ovation for his performance of When A Man Loves A Woman – not to mention Rita’s heart.

“You have no idea how much better your love life is about to become”, he joked.

While it was believed to have been his choice to leave, he reportedly made the decision after hearing Simon was looking to replace him anyway. “You had the elements I always used to like about you: cockiness and arrogance”.

Cowell also talks frankly about the future of his flagship show The X Factor, which has been hit by plummeting ratings and derision from critics.
