Make Me a Star:
American Idol...
OVERHEARD
Simon Cowell
Known For: Biting remarks, harsh frankness, being A Mean English Person.
Usually Says: Mean things that are true: "that was atrocious, horrible, mediocre, etc. etc." Then he makes a face when people boo him.
Attire: T-shirts and pants, usually all black. A wickedly bad orange tan.
American Idol Moment: Showing a softer side by revealing his crush on Christina.
Favourites: Tamyra, Kelly, Justin, and Christina (the latter as a result of him wanting to sleep with her).Randy Jackson
Known For: Starting his critique by saying the contestant's name three or four times in a row; fondness for the outdated slang, "dawg." Also likes to mention who he's worked with, although it was a long time ago and I doubt anyone calls him anymore.
Usually Says: What he feels, although always in a nice sort of way: "it was good but I wasn't feeling it."
Attire: Gap casual; usually sports short-sleeved button-up shirts and unflattering glasses.
American Idol Moment: Going head-to-head with Simon and threatening to "take it outside." Simon usually rebuffs his physical threats with a face.
Favourites: The holy trio: Tamyra, Kelly, Justin.Paula Abdul
Known For: Being a '90s pop star of sorts, a talented choreographer, and a spokesperson for The People.
Usually Says: Nice, positive things; "you made the song your own." Rarely makes sense outside of her own little world.
Attire: Usually looks like she dipped into the "American Idol" wardrobe and took whatever the contestants didn't want. Lots of frilly things.
American Idol Moment: Trying to tell Simon off at the end of one show and ending up sounding very stupid.
Favourites: Everyone in the whole wide world.
