Lycos 50 Talks to Simon!
With the eighth season of American Idol premiering in January, Lycos 50 talked to Idol judge Simon Cowell about a variety of Idol events and rumors. Here's what he had to say:
On a more diverse Idol contestant base this year: “My feeling….was we have an interesting bunch. Where I think we got a little bit stuck last year, it was kind of like battle of the blondes and they all looked the same….This year there seems to be more personality.”
On the Emmys adding a category for reality show judges: “I didn’t know. Well, the answer is it’s a good thing, providing I win, and it’s a bad thing if I lose….I wouldn’t hold my breath on winning.”
On the controversy surrounding the suicide of a former contestant: "What happened was awful. My regret in all of this is that we didn’t know how troubled this person was. If I could have gone back in time and known what she was going through, I wish that we could have spent time trying to help her, but we genuinely didn’t know."
On the possibility of Britney Spears revisiting the show: “She would be literally first on the list, as far as I’m concerned, in any capacity. I would love to see her mentor the contestants. If she doesn’t want to do that and she wants to come on the show to perform, I would welcome her anytime. The buzz we had on our show when she came on was extraordinary. Even with all the stuff that’s gone on with her over the past two years, there was more excitement and interest in her than I’ve seen in anyone in years. So she would be very, very welcome."
American Idol's eighth season premieres on January 13th and January 14th on FOX.
that Simon is such a hypocrit. He says that if could go back in time and know what she was going through?
He has told horrible things to many people that he knows aren't in the best situation in life. The fact is it was innevitable that one of the people he ridiculed in public was going to commit suicide and he knew it!
I can't belive Simon Cowell, is he losing the plot?
Britney Spears was terrible on her UK X Factor TV debut. She did not sing live and when asked a question about the contestants she answered about herself!!
As a fellow Brit I like Simons honesty and let's face it he knows what he is talking about when it comes to creating stars. Give Britney a break people she was a kid when she started she's growing up in the public eye and I for one hope she makes it back to the top and sorts her life out.

I don't think Simon can be blamed for someone's mental instability and suicide. Everyone who goes on the "idol" is aware of the process.
Everyone is in complete control of their own life - hence why suicide is even possible - and if we focus on the wrong things we'll get the wrong results.
People have lived through worse things than Simon's ridicule and have made history.
People get a grip...it's a TV Show and Paula, Simon and the rest are just people - STOP IDOLIZING THEM - it's a sin against the most High God.
While the tragedy is what it is, it can only be expected because we have exalted a talent show into the nation's psyche. Millions of people watch Idol because we are made to feel involved..."Call in and vote for..." Are we then to make the argument that since we didn't vote for her, we also thus caused this tragedy?
I dont know about yall but I like Simon. He is what makes the show interesting for me. I only watch the show due to the fact my wife loves it and we get to spend time together this way. I just love to hear what he has to say each night its priceless lol.
I used to think Simon was an a$$ but changed my mind after observing him in person in the lobby of the hotel that sits on top of the Kodak Theater. I was there for a screenwriting conference a few years back. He was a regular dude greeting people. No great airs about him.
American Idol is great when Simon Cowell is there.. What's the point of the competition if all the judges would say the same thing to all the contestants.. At least Simon makes a difference.. That's what makes American Idol more and more interesting.. Go Simon..
Of course, Britany is only welcome on Idol by Simon because it would benefit him: Better ratings. He could care less about her as an artist, just that she "brings buzz"
I like Simon Cowell, he brings alot to the Idol show. I mean without Simon it (American Idol) would be boring. He spices things up. And it is on purpose, you know his little tiffs with Paula. That is all part of the show. At the end of the day, that is what American Idol is - it is a show.
Whatever people say about Simon, he definitely makes the show a success. Without him it wouldn't be nearly as successful. Looked on Amerrican Idol's web site and couldn't find when they will be in New York next. Hopefully soon.
The only thing that Britney brought to the UK was ridicule. The production team spent the entire evening promoting her performance, only for it to fall flat due to her out-of-sync miming. She had no idea who the contestants were and looked as if she couldn't care less about the show.
Being a new blogger, I would like to tell you that you have given me much knowledge about it. Thanks for everything. regards <a rel="dofollow" href="http://www.grillpartssteak.com/">grill parts</a>
The season eight of American Idol is definitely nearing the finale where only two contestants will go head to head against each other performing certain songs that will help the viewing public decide who comes out better and deserving for the much-coveted title.
Please don't bring Brit back to the show. There is absolutely no reason. She should take a long, long vacation and get her life in order. She doesn't need the limelight.
Aren't most people bored of him yet? I know I am. Bored to tears with reading him everywhere and the recent Susan Boyle thing confirms everything I hate about celebrity. Poor woman.
Im excited to see the new season of American Idol. I couldnt stand Paula Abdul and now that shes gone it will be a much better show. Im not really sure what Ellen is going to add to a musical talent show, but there should be some humorous moments at least.
Everyone is in complete control of their own life - hence why suicide is even possible - and if we focus on the wrong things we'll get the wrong results.
I like Simon as a judge, he is hard, but he usually knows what he is talking about, but I do not think he understands the effect he has on people, and some are not strng enough to hear what he has to say.
The blog is absolutely fantastic!Lots of great information and inspiration in this article,both of which we all need! Thanks http://www.blindschalet.com/

He is a smart man, American Idol is starting to get low rating, why would he want to go down with it, he could leave now and say he since i wasn't there, it sucked and got even worse. Sounds like a smart personal choice to me.
eighth season "american idol" definetly gonna be a big show. If three Big B "simon cowell, Emmy if possible britney" join its absolutely treat to the people.
