American Idol's 'Mr Nasty' Simon Cowell has defended himself against claims he humiliates talentless wannabes on the show - insisting they humiliate themselves.
Cowell has been accused of shattering the dreams of hopefuls who try out on the show.
But Cowell says: "I don't think I'm humiliating anyone. Possibly they are humiliating themselves. No one is dragged into that audition kicking and screaming."
