Being parent has made Simon Cowell softer judge

Cowell, who has joined the judging panel of America’s Got Talent this season, said, “There’s no question when you actually have a kid, it does make you feel different because you understand how you would feel if it was your son up there.

“I’m very conscious that the kids who audition for AGT want to be there, they’re not being pushed into it, and that they’re having a great day out, otherwise we wouldn’t see them.”
