Simon cowell talks to oprah about leaving american idol
American Idol judge Simon Cowell tells Oprah Winfrey about choosing his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy and leaving Idol. AFTER 9 YEARS ON AMERICAN IDOL, SIMON COWELL IS SAYING GOODBYE. ON THURSDAY HE OPENED UP TO OPRAH ABOUT WHY HES LEAVING AND WHATS NEXT. So tell me why are you leaving// I remember our first year when we did this// I loved the buzz, the adventure, then you get to a point for whatever reason Two years ago I remember sitting in the auditionsI promised myself I would leave before I was forced to go. SO DOES THE JUDGE EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE HAVE ANY REGRETS? There were many, many times when I’ve watched the show back, because [we] don’t hear the backstory. We don’t really know what’s going on outside the room, and you hear a story about ‘The cat died minutes ago and I’m singing this song for my cat.’ I don’t know that and when I watch it back and I’m being vile to them I think: ‘God, I wish I hadn’t said that. If only I had known about the cat.’” Obviously I dont care if people like me or notlaughs. Yes, yes. SIMONS NOT ONLY MOVING ON FROM IDOL, HES ALSO MOVING FORWARD WITH RUMORED FIANCEE MEZHGAN HUSSAINY. (Mich-gahn Hoo-sane-ey) Has she knocked your socks off? Yes// I never thought I could be with one person. Why? I never genuinely believed anybody would want to marry me. Why? Because I’m quite difficult to live with. I’m selfish, quite weird, and I need time on my own to think. Then I work all night long. AND THATS NOT GOING TO STOP ANYTIME SOONSIMONS NEXT GIG ……
