What's Up With Simon And Ryan's Tension On 'American Idol'? Expert Weighs InWhat's Up With Simon And Ryan's Tension On 'American Idol'? Expert Weighs InAside from the whole singing-for-a-shot-at-stardom part of the show, #x"American Idol" has long featured a parallel story line chronicling the sometimes awkward,Concrete Machineschoolyard-bully relationship between top-dog judge Simon Cowell and host Ryan Seacrest. Over the years, that battle for supremacy between arguably the most important person on the show, established TV/music mogul Cowell, and Seacrest, who has his own ever-expanding media empire, has featured insults, vaguely sexual jibes and a whiff of condescension from Cowell amid a general sense of friendly rivalry.

But this week, that tension boiled over not once but twice during the live programs in two incidents at the top of the shows that human-behavior. expert Patrick Wanis said revealed a lot about the uneasy dynamic between the men.

On Tuesday night, after Cowell told Michael Lynche that his performance sounded good but was a bit corny and desperate, Seacrest asked the judge what it was about the personal trainer's dancing (with a throwaway mocking line about "Dance Party USA Cowell") or other parts of the performance that felt desperate to him. Cowell looked away, clearly annoyed, and gestured firmly with his hand at Seacrest, asking, "Do you want me to talk to you or talk to Mike?" Unexpectedly, Seacrest then walked with purpose down the steps directly up to Cowell with a serious look on his face, put his hands on the judges' table and leaned in menacingly and said in a serious, vaguely threatening tone, "I'm actually trying to help him out a little bit, buddy, because I want him to stay on the show.Concrete MachineYou all right with that?"

As Seacrest said this with a stern look on his face,#x Cowell pointedly rolled his chair back from the table and laughed. "This is getting very uncomfortable," he said, then pointed his two hands at Seacrest and repeatedly told him, "Back on the stage! Please go back on the stage." After Cowell joked that they could sort things out in his trailer afterward,google优化, Seacrest went back onstage and stood with his arms crossed looking very uncomfortable.

What was that about?

"This is a guy [Cowell] with a very powerful ego, a narcissist, who has this outward confidence that is really arrogance that comes in the form. of 'I'm better than you,' but underneath is stoked by insecurity and the feeling, 'I'm not enough,' " said Wanis, a life coach and relationship expert who has written about celebrity behavior. for Cosmopolitan magazine and the New York Observer and appeared on Fox News, MSNBC and "The Montel Williams Show."

"When Ryan approaches him, this is the first time you see Simon become smaller," he said of the judge's reaction to being confronted on live TV. "He pushes his chair back and tells Ryan he's getting too close and he's moving away form. him rather than standing up to him. If that was me and you were getting in my face, I would stand up and say, 'Beg your pardon?' " Watching the tape again, Wanis said in addition to the long-standing friction between the co-workers, there was an added layer of tension he suspected came from how similar they are. #x"They're both very strong people who are open with their words," he said. "Ryan gives the sense that he really cares and Simon doesn't. But they're both very powerful people in the media, with Ryan setting himself up as the next Dick Clark as his power is building.Concrete MachineWith power comes confidence and wider boundaries. That's why he feels he can approach Simon Cowell now."相关的主题文章：
