Testimonials: Simon Cowell (American Idol/X-Factor): “Brilliant”.. “Love it!”... “I think It’s Genius” In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Simon Cowell gushed about the widely criticized song and called the buzz surrounding it "brilliant." "Love it!" he said, surprisingly positive words for a critic so notoriously stingy with his praise. "I've never seen anything cause so much controversy. I think it's genius. The fact that everyone's getting upset about it is hysterical." He likened "Friday" to the hugely popular '90s hit "Saturday Night" by Whigfield. "It's what we call a 'hair-dryer song,' a song girls sing into their hair dryers as they're getting ready to go out," Cowell explained. "But the fact that it's making people so angry is brilliant." |
