Simon Cowell Has Advice For Nikki McKibbin

Simon Cowell admits he would have rougher towards American Idol contestants towards the end of last season’s final episodes but “I thought, ‘I’m going to work with these people,’” he admitted. “I would have told [contestant] Nikki McKibbin to go back to the strip club. As I watched her, I thought, ‘You are a better stripper than you are a singer.’ And I know that sounds rude, but that’s what I felt.”
