Simon Cowell Rips Into Tom Sandoval’s The Weeknd Cover on ‘AGT’: ‘That Did Not Sound Good’

Judges Sofia Vergara, Mel B and Howie Mandel, however, had only kind things to say.

The once-proclaimed “Most Hated Man in America” is now vying to win back the nation’s love on America’s Got Talent — but Simon Cowell is no longer sure Tom Sandoval has what it takes.

On the show’s live episode Tuesday (Aug. 19), the ex-Vanderpump Rules star and his band, The Most Extras, put a jazz-rock spin on The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” earning mixed reviews from the judges and possibly jeopardizing his future on the competition. Kicking off with a dramatic start, Sandoval began by playing a flashy riff on his trumpet while towering over the stage on a hanging platform, which then lowered to the ground as his band launched into its rendition of the 2020 four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit.
