Simon Cowell Weighs In On Carrie Underwood's Role as American Idol Judge
The news that Carrie Underwood will be joining as a judge has the entertainment world buzzing, but few opinions carry as much weight as that of Simon Cowell. The notoriously blunt judge from the show’s early days didn’t hold back when discussing the country superstar’s new role. In typical Cowell fashion, he kept it honest but encouraging, and perhaps even a bit cheeky.
Simon Cowell, who was one of the original judges when Underwood auditioned for in 2004, expressed his approval of her new gig but didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts. When asked about his advice for her, Cowell remarked, "It's not that difficult doing this job, I promise you." This comment certainly aligns with Cowell’s personality—someone known for being unapologetically straightforward.
