Simon Cowell Expects Men To Shine On Idol

Simon Cowell thinks 2009 will be the year men win American Idol. It’s not the first time he’s made such a prediction, but he thinks 2009 is the year of the Male.

“The guys overall, maybe about five or six of them, were just stronger and stood out more than the girls,” Cowell told reporters on a conference call yesterday. “But I’ve said this in the past and been wrong. Anything can happen.”

He added that last year’s crop was a bit too similar for some. With four judges this season, Idol promises to hold a bit more excitement than it did last year.

American Idols Owns David Archuleta

David Archuleta has run into a snag that other American Idol contestants before him have also hit. When you get famous for being on American Idol, the first thing you want to do is get exposure for yourself. But, if you read your contract, you’ll see the show places quite a few restrictions on you for appearing on the show.

Since David Archuleta is from Utah, a “thank you” concert for local fans seemed like a natural. But American Idol kibboshed his plans.

Widynowski did not go into detail as to why Archuleta could not perform at the E Center — but just said that the Murray High School student simply could not appear at the non-American Idol sanctioned event.

Widynowski said the “thank you” concert would instead be postponed to a later date, which was not set. However, the agent said it would have to wait until the American Idol tour concludes.

The good news for American Idol fans is that Archuleta will be returning, along with sanctioned cast members, when the American Idol tour hits their area on July 14th.

Jason Castro Has Tough Night On American Idol

“American Idol” is not the easiest show in the world for many performers, and Jason Castro proved to be no exception last night as he got lambasted by Simon Cowell for a poor performance.

Castro tried a rendition of “I Shot The Sheriff”, popularized by Bob Marley and the Wailers, but didn’t pull it off.

“It’s a song by Bob Marley — go figure,” said Castro after the ill fated performance.

Simon Cowell even warned poor Jason before the lambaste.

“Jason, stand back,” Simon said. “That was utterly atrocious. That is a song you do not touch. The arrangement was atrocious, the performing and the singing was as bad as I ever heard. That was like a first round audition massacre. I don’t know what you were thinking.”
