Yesterday it was announced that Simon Cowell will be voting himself off American Idol after this season and moving on to his next American project, X Factor.
Now the moobed judge is speaking out about the kind of shocking, kind of not announcement saying “I’ve been doing this for nine years and it’s been a blast”, but it’s time to move on now and focus his attention on one main show.
And he even got a little emotional!
The softie at heart goes on to say: “It did feel a little bit emotional when I [made the announcement] because then it’s real… and then you remember all the good times you had.”
Aww, go use some of your millions of dollars to dry your tears, Cowell!
