“I challenge him to put together a female group or female solo artist, and I will do the same, and then let the audience decide which is better,” Knowles told Daily News contributor Jawn Murray after watching Tuesday’s live Idol show backstage and experiencing Cowell up close and personal.
When finalist Paris Bennett received raves from judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul for her cover of Beyoncé’s tune “Work It Out,”
Cowell sniffed: “I am sorry to put a damper on everything … You know what it reminded me of? It’s like a little girl pretending to be Beyoncé. Whoopee.”
Knowles fired back: “It is even more clear to me that Simon wouldn’t know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face.”

Sounds more like papa Knowles might want something else to smack Simon in the face.
