Media mogul Simon Cowell has described how fatherhood has changed his judging style, because he now understands how it would feel if it was his son auditioning.

The 56-year-old returned to the judging panel of "America's Got Talent" last week and he's currently gearing up for the next season of the UK's "X Factor", reported Contactmusic.

"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," he continued. But Cowell also maintains that he was often edited to appear more nasty than he really was.
 

"I think X Factor and Idol were edited so that I was always seen as this bad-tempered, miserable whatever - which of course I am at times, but I'm not like that the whole day!" he said.

"But on AGT there are so many feel-good moments that they show those more than me ripping people to pieces because they are rubbish.
