One of music's harshest critics doesn't think Beyonce is so bootylicious.

Simon Cowell, a judge on Fox television's "American Idol," has some choice words about the 23-year-old singer.

"I find the whole Beyonce thing really mystifying," Cowell says in Esquire magazine, on newsstands Friday. "She's not sexy, she hasn't got a great body and she's not a great singer."

The British talent judge also came out swinging on other subjects.

On President Bush: "He could almost be a robot."

On France: "We (the British) have hated the French for years. Now you (the United States) have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable."
