American Idol Judge Simon Cowell Said on Thursday He Would like to Have Glam Singer Lady Gaga as a Mentor this Year
American Idol judge Simon Cowell said on Thursday he would like to have glam singer Lady Gaga as a mentor this year to the aspiring pop stars on the top-rated TV talent show. The Lady Gaga music video for Bad Romance was voted weirdest music video in a recent online poll.
And Cowell asserted the no 1 duty for his replacement as a judge next year was solid music biz experience, which would appear to disqualify American shock jock Howard Cruel who has been lobbying hard for the desirable job on his Sirius XM radio show. “I know Howard’s name has been in there, but I’m reasonably certain there has not been an approach at any point for Howard to do the show,” Cowell told writers in a conferencing call.
“He doesn’t appear to fit any of these ( music biz ) standards. But he manifestly wants the job! Good luck to him.” The scathing UK judge has been a fixture on the No. One Television show since it started in 2002. But he said in Jan that he would be leaving at the end of the existing season to launch his very own talent contest in 2011.
Asked who would be his dream coach in his last year, Cowell expounded ; “I think that we should have Lady Gaga as she is the most important pop artist in the world at the instant.
So I believe she should be number one ( on the list ). And I have met her. She is extremely smart. I like her.” Cowell brushed aside media reports he had clashed with “American Idol”’s latest judge, comic and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, calling her a “good choice.” “She is extremely answerable for folks she has performing on her very own show…She loves music and she’s been an artist,” he claimed. But he kept his famously brutal views to himself when asked to name his faves for his very own job.
“It’s like judging skating at the Olympics…You really have to know what you’re talking about. Over time ( Television ) judges have been substituted by personalities, and that in the long run will create issues because you have to be in a position to spot a star. “You’ve just got to find someone that can essentially make a change to the competitors, who isn’t scared to speak their minds, who is ready to be fair and sometimes blunt, but not to be gratuitously rude,” asserted Cowell, who runs a successful record label and made the Television shows “America’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor.” Cowell added that he would have liked to “go out on a high”, saying ; “It is my last season. I need it to achieve success and I may do everything I will to make it happen.”.
