A Little Cry For Si When Idol Ends?
Posted on May 24th, 2010 at 11:23 am by
Simon Cowell has admitted that even his hard-as-nails exterior will be shaken when he makes his final Idol appearance.
TV’s Mr Nasty will become TV’s Mr Softy when he takes his panel seat for the last time – and I bet Ryan Seacrest will LOVE it if he sheds a tear. Come to think of it, so will I!
Simon told Oprah: “The final night will be quite emotional. I’ve had a great time” and added, “I love working over here [in the US] and never thought I would.”
He also admitted that the reason he was moving on was because he was bored, and that it wasn’t fair on the audience to stay on the show.
He said: “After a while, you start to go on automatic pilot. And there were too many times, Oprah, where I was sitting there bored, and I thought, ‘The end of the day, the audience doesn’t tune in to watch me being bored. They deserve more than that.’ But I can’t hide it when I’m bored. I just can’t fake it.” I wonder if that’s something Opes can sympathise with – after all she’s been doing The Oprah Winfrey Show since 1986 and is moving on next year too!
The American version of X-Factor will be up and running soon enough so it’s not like we’ll have time to forget about him, but it’s nice to know Simon’s not as tough as he makes out. I’ve got a hankie if you need one Si!
