HELSINKI, Finland, April 29 (UPI) -- A Finnish singer has taken aim at "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell with a song twitting his inability to compete on the show.

As she puts it in the chorus, "Simon can't sing, Simon can't dance. He doesn't look cool, And he's not in a band. But he thinks he looks so hot when he dresses in black."
The verses are aimed more at contestants.
"American Idol" is shown on Finnish television, and there is also a home-grown "Finnish Idol."
Nunes' told MTV that the song started out as a "harmless joke" that turned into a good number. And she says that she really likes Cowell -- and even thinks that he is cool.
