Simon Cowell finds 'American Idol' "mind-numbingly boring".

The 48-year-old music mogul admits he finds judging contestants on the US
reality TV show so tedious he can't hide his true feelings.

He said: "It's a reality show. If you're bored you're bored. If you're not,
you're not. I can't help it if I'm bored. Sometimes it's mind-numbingly
boring, and it shows on my face."

Simon recently admitted that last year's 'American Idol' contest - won by
18-year-old Jordin Sparks - was lacking true star potential.

He said: "Last year wasn't one of our better seasons. You get that on all of
these type of competition shows. You get great years, and then you get
not-so-great years.

"We always say, we can't guarantee we will find a superstar. We will do our
best, but we are at the mercy of who turns up at the auditions."

As well as judging 'American Idol', Simon is also involved in British TV
talent shows 'The X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent'.
