Yahoo Music 针对 AI 也开了专栏, 有兴趣的人可以上 http://new.music.yahoo.com/ 去看看. 它还有 Simon Cowell Q&A 的文章, 我觉得里面有很多提问都是我很好奇的问题, 所以转一些内容过来给大家看 ^^ 原文网址: http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/317843/simon-says-the-cowell- press-conference/ (懒的缩了, 请自行去 Yahoo Music, 应该看的到才对) 关於明年谁来接他的位置的问题: Q:Besides Howard Stern, Perez Hilton says he wants to be in the running for your job. Also, producer Steve Lillywhite just made a video plea to be your replacement. Who of those people would you pick, and what qualifications do you think someone who'd replace you would need to have? A:I know Howard's name has been in there for a while, but I'm fairly certain that there hasn't been an approach at any time for Howard to do the show. Perez, he'd be funny. You know, he's got good taste in music, he's a personality. That could work...Now, Steve Lillywhite, the record producer? Is he handsome? You've got to be good-looking. [laughs] Secondly, I think you've just got to know what you're talking about. More and more now I'm starting to realize with these shows, that we have to put people on the shows that actually know what they're talking about. Rather than guessing, they've really got to have experience, so that you can not just criticize, but you can actually offer constructive advice as well. Q:If you could have your pick, who would you hire to replace you? A:Well, you're never going to pick anyone as good as you, are you? [laughs] So I think that's why nobody really asks me that question. I think the important thing is, and you see this on a lot of shows, you see people put in a role to play a certain role--which has become quite tiresome, when people always describe that person as the "mean judge" or whatever it is. You've just got to find someone who can actually make a difference to a contestant, who's not afraid to speak their mind, who's prepared to be honest and occasionally blunt--but not to be gratuitously rude. I'm really getting tired of all of that. But there'll be a lot of people who'll want the job. I think ironically it's going to help next season, because there will be a lot of interest about who replaces me...Howard Stern talking about it on his show, I think that's brilliant! 关於跟 Ellen DeGeneres 不合传闻的澄清: Q:Can you address the stories about you and Ellen not getting along? A:I wouldn't say that we didn't get on well. I don't know Ellen that well. It was a difficult thing for her because she started work on the Hollywood Week, which is quite a difficult show to do. There was one story I read that said I turned up an hour late or something, and that she wanted to film. The truth was I think I turned up 15 or 20 minutes late because I did a press conference earlier in the day, and they did start filming, but that wasn't a particular problem. But no, there was not fallout. I was trying to guide her through the week, and that was about it, really. 关於宝拉的想念: A:What do you miss most about Paula Abdul? Q:Well, Paula's my friend. Amazingly, even though we used to argue a lot, she was somebody I just got very close to over the years. We'd hang out together after the show, and she always made me laugh; I always thought she was funny. So it was just like not having your friend on the show anymore, so I do miss her. 本季希望找谁当导师? Q:What mentors would you like to work with on your last Idol season? A:That's a good question. We've had some pretty good people, haven't we? Um, I think we should have Lady Gaga. She is the most relevant pop artist in the world at the moment, so I think she should be number one. And I've met her and she's very smart. I like her. 关於本季女生可能获胜的猜测: Q:Is it important that a female win this season? A:Ha! Depends what she's like! I kind of know where you're going; we've had a few years now of guys winning the show. I would say there is definitely a better chance of a girl winning the show this year--certainly better than last year. You want somebody who represents what is going on at the moment. I'd love to find a Taylor Swift--somebody who's relevant, rather than just a contest winner. 关於 Simon 的否决权: Q:How often are you overruled by the other judges when choosing the top 24? A:Well, this was a difficult one because it all happened so quickly. I think in hindsight it would have been much easier--but it couldn't have happened this way--that we could have had maybe five or six days to think about it, and really review the performances. But we had a limited time, and decisions were made relatively quickly on the day. And then when you watch it back, you think, "You know what? I could have made different decisions here." This happens on the shows I do in other countries. There's always a moment where you look at something and think, "I've made a [bad] decision," but you've just got to live with that. And luckily, they can always re-audition the following year. 关於 Pants On The Ground 造成风潮的看法: Q:What's your take on the whole "Pants On The Ground" phenomenon? A:You know, it's an interesting thing, because when [Larry Platt] came on the show, it's one of the reasons why on X Factor we didn't put an age cap on that show. Because I always found a lot of the older contestants really funny, interesting--whether it's him or whether it's someone like Susan Boyle. I've got to tell you: For him, I'm absolutely thrilled that all this has happened. He needed a break, and I'm glad it's worked out well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 原文还有一些其他问题也很有意思, 不知板上有没有高手愿意把文章翻译一下, 英文看的好累... orz -- 我的希腊之旅 ==> http://www.wretch.cc/album/tubryan --
