I Don't Think Rap Really Fits In

If You Don't Know The Right People Or Have The Right Connections, You May Never Be Discovered. With 'opening Act,' We Are Democratizing A Notoriously Impossible Process, Pulling Back The Curtains On A Consistently Fascinating Industry, And Affording Aspiring Artists The Chance Of A Lifetime.

That Makes Entertaining Television. That Is The Circus Of American Idol . We Go For The Very, Very Best And The Very, Very Worst. It's The Boring People That We Don't Want To See On Television.

I Don't Think Rap Really Fits In To 'american Idol' In The Sense That I Believe Rap Is An Art Form In Itself More Akin To Poetry, More Akin To Drama, If You Will.

There's No Question 'amazing Race' Is A Beautifully Produced Show.

Since We Launched The Original 'pop Idol' In England, I've Remained Close With Simon Fuller. Working As Executive Producer On 'american Idol' For Its First Seven Years Not Only Was An Inspirational Journey Into The Heart Of American Pop Culture, It Opened My Eyes To The Untapped Potential Of The Incredibly Dynamic Young People In This World.
