Simon Cowell
"Extra" was backstage with Simon Cowell in London. We joined the original "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson as she took her talents to the U.K. She says, "Conquering the world with my music, that's just important to me."
Kelly made her European performance debut and quite an impression on the Brits.
Backstage and back home was none other than Simon Cowell, supporting his Idol and his habit of cheeky one-liners. He says, "I'm in a bad mood cause I'm back in bloody London."
It’s time for "The World According to Simon."
About being back in the U.K., Simon says, "I'd rather be back in Los Angeles as quickly as bloody possible. It's more fun."
Simon on Kelly's European debut, "I've heard her sound better, but the acoustics weren't great. If this record doesn't go to number one, I will be nice the rest of my life. I will turn into Paula Abdul."
Simon on Ruben and Clay vs. Kelly, "Ruben and Clay are going to have to make great records. You always judge it on the record."
Simon on "Pop Idol," "I can judge this now on a totally different level. I'm going to judge the Brits vs. the Americans so I’m going to be really horrible."
Simon on Ryan Seacrest hosting "American Juniors," "I think that's a very good career move for Ryan... Intellectually he is going to be able to communicate better with kids... Every day I wake up I think, ‘Why can't I be judging six-year-olds who can't sing?’ I can't think of anything worse."
And finally, Simon on doing "American Idol 3," "I haven't said no and I haven't said yes."
