Simon Cowell TV Guide Interview: Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d like to see them all fighting, screaming, hating each other
I got some pretty interesting soundbites here from an interview Simon Cowell did with TV Guide.
Check it out HERE.
Simon would LOVE to put hidden cameras in the Idols’ living quarters to air on the show. It really irks him that the contestants like and try to help each other. He wants some bitch slappin’ and the fur to fly. Heh.  Unsurprisingly, we haven’t seen more of the kids hanging out in the mansion, because there hasn’t been time. Uh, that’s why they stopped renting a mansion for the kids in the first place. Duh.
Also, Simon doesn’t seem opposed to throwing new judge Kara DioGuardi under the bus if necessary, though he’d fight to the end for Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. If the save were available in prior seasons, Simon would have used it on Tamyra Gray, “More so than Daughtry or Jennifer Hudson,” he says.
Simon addresses the rumors swirling around Adam Lambert’s sexuality. He’s impressed that Adam remains unfazed by it all and thinks Adam’s presence is a “huge step forward for the show.”
Adam is the only contestant who has made his songs his own, says Simon, “Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s why I was so frustrated with Danny [Gokey] when he did à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Endless Loveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ with a harp. Come on! This song is 25, 30 years old, and a lotà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s happened in 30 years. At least pretend to do something different to it, rather than schmaltzing it up.”
In this shorter version of the interview, Simon admits there is a possiblity Kris Allen could take 3rd place, “But seven weeks ago, nobody would have predicted the possibility that the third place is Kris. Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s just quietly got on with the job.”
Simon is already on record, predicting an Adam Lambert/Danny Gokey final two…

People are like buttholes, every one has one. Even me. As for Simon, he is just looking to stir up the pot.
I won’t be voting for any of those two. My votes have been going to Kris. I like singers who can bring emotion to their songs. I do like Adam but those high notes he hits hurt my ears. So if the two two contains anyone else but Kris, I won’t be voting at all.
I am a conservative Christian and an Adam fan (hence the screenname). Danny Gokey…I am sure he is a great fella, but his performances have never done anything for me. Adam…wow…every performance is entertaining and interesting. He’s got IT!
Really, none of us know anything about Adam’s personal life, his beliefs, etc. It’s all speculation. And this is not a contest for American Altar Boy or Sunday School Teacher! If people are voting or not voting for someone on AI because of some idealogy, and not the talent, then that’s a shame.
Really, Simon? Strange, because under the format you’ve created for the save, you couldn’t have saved 2 of those people!!!
