Katy Perry Talks American Idol

Katy Perry is going to be a guest judge on American Idol and if you think she is going to be the reincarnation of Paula Abdul she says that just isn't so. She says she wants to be a slightly nicer version of Simon Cowell.

"I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon, because whenever I watch that show, as much as he's an a**hole, he's a very truthful, honest a**hole."

"I'm not there to build them up. It's weird, because I don't want to break their hearts, but everyone knows someone who's been doing karaoke and doing little gigs here and there, and nobody has told them that they can't sing on pitch for, like, 15 years?"

Yes, but you see she is going to be a judge during the auditions right? I think all the judges pretty much crush the dreams of people at that point. One of the best reasons to watch the auditions is there are always a group of people who say they have been told how good they are and they expect the judges to agree. When the judges don't agree is when you get the rants and the people who are going to go on with their dreams regardless. I don't think there is anything new about that. Even Paula would tell someone when they sucked, she would just do it in a nicer way or find something positive to say about them.
