Music moghul, Andrew Lloyd Webber, is jetting back to the States next week for the grand finale of American Idol.
Andrew mentored on the show just a few weeks ago and was a masive hit, drawing 24 million viewers.
He will be back in time for Saturdays I’d Do Anything show on BBC One, and is also said to be in talks with Simon Cowell about a joint reality TV collaboration.
American Idol judge, Simon Cowell has revealed that he intends to drop the age limit for American Idol in the near future.
Speaking to girlfriend Teri Seymour on US show Extra, he said: “All these shows, including Idol, in the future are going to have to go younger. We’re going to have to drop the age from 16 to 14 soon.”
Simon also encouraged contestants to turn on the waterworks, saying: Continue reading ‘American Idol: Simon Cowell Wants To Lower Age Limit‘ »
X Factor judge, Simon Cowell, has revealed that he contemplated suicide when he was a teenager.
He told Parade: “I was always bored. I didn’t like the rules and I didn’t like discipline. So when someone said to me, ‘These are the best days of your life’, I actually thought about jumping off a bridge.
“I was like, ‘If it gets any worse than this I’m done’, because I hated school and I hated my life.”
Hilarious!! Simon Cowell was ambushed this week by his ‘first love’ on American Idol as she phoned in unexpectedly to ask if he still remembered their first kiss.
Whats the bets he calls her up this week and ‘catches up’…..
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber missed the I’d Do Anything live show last week as he was in Las Vegas mentoring the contestants from American Idol.
Lloyd Webber described the experience as “bizarre” but thinks he may have found the American Nancy!
Webber said: “I had a great time on American Idol. It was a wonderful, highly theatrical and somewhat bizarre evening.
“If ever Cameron Mackintosh brings Oliver! to Broadway there was a girl who would be one of the greatest Nancys ever.”
Commenting on the contestants performances, Webber said: Continue reading ‘American Idol: Andrew Lloyd Webber Finds American Nancy!‘ »
The kind folks over at andrewlloydwebber.com have provided us with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest video blog.
Sir Andrew chats to us from The Phantom theatre in Las Vegas, which I have to say looks like the most amazing theatre in the world. I had no idea that one had been purpose built just to suit that production.
Andrew talks about his stint on American Idol as well as last week’s I’d Do Anything show.
You’ve just gotta love those Elvis glasses!
Jay Black over at the TV Squad has written a great article on why he thinks our Simon Cowell should be awarded the job of American President.
Some of Jay’s reasons are inspired and truly hilarious, for example:
1. He’s trusted.
Unlike so many politicians, people actually care what Simon has to say. Admit it, those of you who TiVo American Idol: If you’re pressed for time, you’ll not only fast forward through the commercials, but also Randy and Paula’s comments.
and:
5. He’s a smoker.
While, on the surface it would seem that this is a character flaw, think of this: for the last forty years, we’ve had presidents bowing to the tobacco interests because they needed the campaign money. For the first time in my adult life, we’d have a president bowing to the tobacco interests because he wanted to. Sure, it won’t make you feel any better when you watch your loved ones dropping like coughing, hacking flies, but afterwards, when the anger starts to set in, you can find some solace in the fact that our president is headed for the same fate.
But my favourite has to be: Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell For American President!‘ »
Last years American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks has revealed that she used to have a crush on Simon Cowell…….didn’t we all?
While promoting her very average new single featured below, Sparks told Metro: “I think there was a time when I had a crush on Simon, but it was when I used to watch the show, not when I was on it.”
The singer added: “He’s very cute, but he’s already taken.”
Pop Queen, Madonna has commented that she doesn’t think she would have stood a chance if she had auditioned for American Idol when she was just starting out.
She told New York radio station Z100: “I did it the hard way. I had to teach myself how to play the drums, I had to get into a band. [I played] in crappy little clubs for years before anybody would even pay any attention to me. [ I had to] take my tape around to record companies and have them shut the door in my face. It took a long time. I came up the hard way.”
When asked about American Idol she said: Continue reading ‘Madonna Would Never Get Through American Idol‘ »
