Title: For those who hate Simon Cowell cuz you think he's too mean
Post by: Laura on September 02, 2007, 02:29:38 pm: read this... you probably won't look at him on Idol the same. I wasn't sure where to put this since this isn't about Idol, or one particular show so I hope this is okay to put here.

I always knew he had a sweet side to him, but now you guys do too :)

SEALED WITH A X
EXCLUSIVE X-Factor judge makes a brave girl fan's dream come true... and the show's sexiest ever line-up Caring Simon agrees to wed dying teenager
By Emma Donnan

X Factor judge Simon Cowell granted a dying girl's last wish - by agreeing to MARRY her.

Brave Susannah O'Cansey, 18, had cheekily proposed to Simon when she appeared on his This Is Your Life show.

Weeks later her muscle-wasting disease took a turn for the worst.

When he heard the news, caring Simon shed his Mr Nasty image - and rang her in hospital to say Yes.

Her mum Agatha, 51, said: "Simon was wonderful. He made Susannah's dream come true."

Susannah first met Simon, 47, when he visited CHASE children's hospice in Artington, Surrey, to hand out Christmas presents.

She had been a patient there for four years with Devics syndrome, which is similar to MS. Mum Agatha said: "She a fighter. Despite her joints and her sight deteriorating, she stayed on at school and did her GCSEs. There was a spark between her and Simon. They were both as cheeky as each other.

"She loved X Factor and he invited her to be a guest judge on the panel for the next series."

Susannah made such an impression that she was also asked onto This Is Your Life on ITV in May. TV millions were reduced to tears by her bubbly personality as she popped the question to Simon.

Agatha, of Mitcham, south London, continued: "She was always joking.

She was a real laugh."

When Susannah was critically ill with inflammation of the brain, Simon called to accept her proposal - on condition she got well.

Agatha added: "Simon was so kind. He called her even when she was in intensive care and barely conscious. I'm sure she knew."

After Susannah died, Simon wrote a touching note to her. It read: "The only girl I ever asked to marry me. I will miss you so much. All my love, Simon. X" Simon has been with girlfriend Terri Seymour five years but says they will never wed.

He told The People: "In spite of her problems, Susannah never complained. She always had a sunny smile. She was full of life. I feel privileged to have known her."

very true... he was also the only reason why i sometimes tuned into AI. i dont believe in such shows like AI, coz i personally think that the charts are already too crowded with "new talents" or "rising stars" which just turn out to be major flops, b ut it was always interesting how simon made those eager youngsters face the truth.

People get worse verbal beat downs from lesser people on the biz food chain.
