Cowell wants Britney for American Idol
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 December 2008
Despite her less than inspiring performance on this year’s ‘X Factor’, Simon Cowell is keen to get Britney back for a slot on ‘American Idol’ when it airs next year.
Cowell told MTV: “She would, literally, be first on the list as far as I’m concerned in any capacity. I would love to see her mentor the contestants, but if she doesn’t want to do that, and she wants to come on the show and perform, I would welcome her any time”.
“The buzz we had on [‘X Factor’] when she came on was extraordinary. And even with all the stuff that’s gone on with her the past two years, there was more excitement and interest in her than I’ve seen in anyone in years. She would be very, very welcome”.
