C.Simon: Nobody does it better than Brooke on 'Idol' - 實境秀

沒想到今年 Carly Simon 居然要發新片...
以下是 Carly Simon 稱讚 Brooke 的表演，還有關於她怎麼看到 AI 的報導..


NEW YORK - Carly Simon has more than a passing interest in this season's
"American Idol" and leaves no mystery about who's her favorite remaining
finalist — Brooke White.


Simon was tipped to turn on the television at her home in Martha's Vineyard,
Mass., the night White won over the judges by performing her hit song "You're
So Vain" during 1970s theme week.

"I thought, `Oh my God, this girl is so talented and she sings the song so
much better than I ever did or ever could,'" said Simon, interviewed during a
rehearsal break with her band at a Manhattan studio. "I was so flattered that
she chose the song and ... more than impressed. I think she should win."

Simon was preparing for a showcase performance of songs from her new
bossa-nova flavored album, "This Kind of Love," her first album of original
new songs in eight years, which was released Tuesday.

The 62-year-old singer confesses that when she watches "Idol" her motherly
instincts take over and she just wants to protect the young singers from what
she sees as the show's cruelest part — and it's not the comments by judge
Simon Cowell whom she likes.

"One thing I don't like about the show is that it turns truly sadistic when
the person is voted off and they have to sing while they're crying," Simon
said. "I just want to go up .... and carry them off and say, `It's OK,
sweetheart, come with me.' ... I don't know how the panel can stand that
cruelty. ... Doesn't that seem like being thrown to the lions?"

Carly 的母性在此展露無疑....不知道她看到 Brooke 淘汰那段的感覺怎麼樣...

With her legendary stage fright, Simon admits she couldn't have gone far on
"Idol" if she had to perform live before a TV audience in the tens of
millions. And she doubts that the other noted singer-songwriters of her
generation — Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell and ex-husband James
Taylor — could have gone far because they all had distinctive but untrained
voices.

最後一段其實很像，過去對 AI 的討論－如果 Norah Jones 參加可以贏嗎?
