Simon Cowell: American Idol Contestants Lack Personality

When Simon Cowell was asked to pinpoint a collective flaw in the season 7 cast of American Idol, he told Variety:

“Personality. They are giving very safe answers to questions, making safe song selections. We are not getting a sense of who they are. We have to try to pull it out of them more.”

Cowell added, “You cannot deliver an uninspired performance at the top of the show. And you can’t be up there imitating another singer.”
