Opening up about his latest FOX singing competition, his relationship with fellow judge Paula Abdul and the side of him viewers rarely get to see, Simon Cowell chatted with Redbook magazine for their October issue - which hits newsstands on September 13.
Explaining the difference between "X Factor" and other reality talent shows, the famed producer told, "The contestants are all ages—from 12 to 80—and have fascinating backstories. One woman in her mid-40s had gotten out of a horribly abusive marriage. When she sang, she was amazing. We saw the 5,000 people in the audience all get on their feet. That’s more powerful than a 17-year-old who comes in and says, 'I want to be a star.' It’s like with Susan Boyle, where I got it completely wrong. I’d written her off before she started singing and got a sharp wake-up call in front of millions."
