I kind of sing like Jimmy Durante.

Can you sing "When you Wish Upon a Star"? You know.... the Disney song that Jiminey Cricket sang.

Another twist in the plot

Survivor host Jeff Probst apparently isn't the only well known reality TV personality who may be leaving his long-running reality series after its next edition. According to The New York Times, American Idol's upcoming fifth edition might also mark Simon Cowell's last season as one of the show's judges.
According to the report, Cowell is unhappy that as part of a three-season contract extension he signed before American Idol 3 in 2003, he will not have the right to sign Idol 5's eventual winner and runner-up to his Sony BMG record label -- a right that he's had during the reality show's previous seasons. "Simon is not interested in making a star for another label," one of Cowell's close associates told The Times.[/b]
Although Cowell willingly gave away American Idol 5's signing rights as part of his previous contract, he is reportedly now seeking to have them included in what the paper terms a "delicate and hugely expensive renegotiation" that would include an extension for additional seasons. But although Fox is offering Cowell the rights to Idol 5's finalists, Cowell reportedly still has "enormous leverage" due to the success of The X-Factor, a new Cowell-created British reality music competition series that has replaced Pop Idol (the show that spawned American Idol) as the most popular show on British television. ..

So if the renegotiations don't go through he wont have the rights to the winner or the runner up. That said it makes more sense that he pulled some strings and nabbed Chris early. that way he still gets a peice of the pie.
