Abigail Hopkins wants to hear Simon Cowell sing

London, Mar 7 : Singer Abigail Hopkins has asked X factor judge Simon Cowell to stop criticising X Factor contestants and get up on to the stage and sing.

The daughter of 'Silence Of The Lambs' actor Anthony Hopkins said that she doubts whether he would have the guts to sing on stage.

"I think on the negative level they are very much exploiting people's desperation and it's sort of like a cattle market," Daily Express quoted Abigail, as saying.

"I think it's quite cruel actually, Simon Cowell sitting there, just one man's judgment. And then I think would he have the guts to get up on stage?

"I think he's quite ruthless and I always think I would like to see him get up and audition," she added.
