Heidi Klum pointed out how Cowell is known for his critical yet honest comments, which could wind up with people leaving in tears. As hard as this may be, Klum admitted that she still wants him to speak his mind.
"I feel bad or a little sad for the people if they leave the stage crying, but I think I want to see what he has to say," she said about Cowell.
Host Nick Cannon is pretty stoked for the new judge since this show is right up Cowell's alley.
"I think it's gonna be fun because obviously this is his brand, it's his baby," Cannon said. "But he's known for finding us some pop culture and superstar talent."
As for Cowell, himself, he said that the other judges are likely going to take over more than he will.
"I have a feeling this year they're going to be the bosses," he said.
