Simon Cowell recently admitted that he finds his show 'American Idol' to be "mind-numbingly boring" and can't even be bothered to hide his true feelings: "It's a reality show. If you're bored you're bored. If you're not, you're not. I can't help it if I'm bored. Sometimes it's mind-numbingly boring, and it shows on my face."
Simon recently admitted that last year's 'American Idol' contest - won by 18-year-old Jordin Sparks - was lacking true star potential.
"Last year wasn't one of our better seasons. You get that on all of these type of competition shows. You get great years, and then you get not-so-great years.
"We always say, we can't guarantee we will find a superstar. We will do our best, but we are at the mercy of who turns up at the auditions."
