Bret Michaels Talks American Idol!
Posted by Adam
ROCKER Bret Michaels admits he’s “not built exactly like Simon Cowell” — but would love to replace the music mogul as a judge on US TV show American Idol.
“I don’t know,” Bret told Parade magazine when asked if he’ll be filling Cowell’s Italian leather shoes. “We have a meeting in L.A. in a couple weeks and we’re going to sit down and talk.
“They did a poll and I think it was Madonna, P. Diddy, Howard Stern and myself, and I took 50% or 60% of the vote and that’s tremendous. I would love to be a judge on American Idol. I think I would bring a lot to the table.
“I’m not built exactly like Simon Cowell, but, at the same time, I respect what he did. But I would have to bring my own personality. I think if they have someone in there to try to imitate Simon, it would be a mistake; he’s an original.
“Bring Bret Michaels in to be original to who and what I am. Bring someone who can bring a little grit, true grit back to the show.”
