-So, let’s talk about Idol, because I think I have been saying since it’s started. Uh, you are doing amazing. I love you on Idol. I think you are…
-Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah, I have been having some fun with it.
-Is it, is it harder, isn’t it, don’t you find it hard to say something every single time, especially when they are good.
-Yes, I’m like what am I gonna say?
-Right.
-Yeah, no, but what I try to do is really think like, OK, I know this person wants to get to the final, so what do I know, what can I give them right now that’s gonna help them, be better for next time, (hum), but you really start seeing who are the ones who are kind-of cut off for the business, coz it is, you know this, it’s a lot of pressure. It’s a lot of performing, you know, on the spot, and this is like a… Everybody says “Oh, isn’t this like a shortcut of fame?” I’m like “No, it’s like the hard course in fame.”
-It’s a crash course.
-Because, it’s a crash course and you have to get up there. You have to perform. You have to be great and it’s a, it’s a lot for them, I think. I thing they handled it really well.
-It is a lot of someone, I mean, at least, I think when you do it the, the long way, the way we get it.
-Our way, yeah.
-You have time to kind-of get used to it. It’s like…
-And years, years. It’s kind-of like make mistakes and try again and go out and you know what I mean, and before the public even sees you.
-Right.
-You know, you are doing this, so…
-Yeah, and, and who do you think is gonna win.
-Ah, I don’t know. You know, it’s hard to say. It’s really hard to say because right now we are done to Scotty, and we love Laurens, Jeans, and Haley and Jeans and Haley, I mean, those voices are out of this world, out of this world, and also James’s performance quality is like peaking, but so is Scotty’s right now. Yeah, and then you have Laurent who has just like an angle voice with all this character and you know, I’m kind-of waiting for her break-out of her, kind-of…
-I have been waiting for that, she, she’s, she’s still…
-It’s in there, it’s in there, I know and so we gotta, you know, it’s, it depends who delivers in the next couple of weeks, coz he’s gonna make it into the final.
-Because from me, it was James all along
-Really?
-And I have seen Scotty just came up and I was like…
-I mean last week…
-He was gone.
-I mean I…
-It would be that song.
-I know, I went crazy. I was like, I watched myself back and said what are you doing? Relax.
-Don’t get so excited at that time. You look crazy. Yeah, hum, yeah, but I did, I got genuine excited.
-No, he’s definitely, I mean, he is a certain niche, and, and, and I think that’s why the people, they don’t like his go. That’s all he does is one note.
-Yes.
-No, but he’s brilliant at it.
-Yeah.
-And James is, is brilliant at, in a lot of different directions. Haley is very special, I think, and that voice of Haley is just…
-Doesn’t come around everyday.
