Blessed & Proud

American Idol is back soon, and there's an interview/story in EW:
"This year, they're planning a national songwriting contest to determine a winning single; the competition, which is not yet finalized, is slated to be open to anyone — signed or unsigned — who submits a tune to a to-be-named website."

It also mentions how Simon Cowell unsurprisingly hates all of the shitty songs the final winner sings & releases as a single. What does he think about this contest and what potential crap random losers will come up with?

"It's no skin off my nose," he shrugs, "but if I hate [the song] I'm going to say it." Why do we have a sinking suspicion he's not going to love the songs America comes up with? "I guarantee the songs submitted will have the words blessed and proud in them. 'I'm blessed to be proud.' 'I'm proud to be blessed'."
