>> VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING
Simon Cowell says reaction misinterpreted
BY LYNN ELBER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cowell rolled his eyes and raised
LOS' ANGELES — An annoyed look from "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell as a contestant expressed sadness over the Virginia Tech shootings was drastically misinterpreted, Cowell and the show said Wednesday.
his eyebrows as contestant Chris Richardson of Chesapeake, Va., followed his performance on Tuesday's show with a comment about the 32 people killed on the campus by a student.
"My hearts and prayers go out to Virginia
The show went into damage control Wednesday, with Cowell known for his acerbic comments
— and a series producer denying that he had heard what Richardson said.
Tech. I have a lot of friends over there... Be strong," Richardson said on stage.
Instead, he was talking to Abdul about Richardson's contention that he deliberately sang "Mayberry" in a nasal tone, Cowell told "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest on Seacrest's radio show Wednesday.
"This is a sad time for everyone, so it is especially disheartening that a quick camera cutaway could have been misinterpreted."
The camera caught Cowell's expression and showed him tapping his hand once, in apparent impatience, on the table in front of him and fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. In contrast, Abdul could be seen nodding in approval.
NIGEL LYTHGOE Executive Producer
"I was saying to Paula, 'What does he mean, he sang nasally on purpose? I didn't understand what he was saying.' So I hadn't even heard what he did. Then my eye rolled, given what I was saying to Paula," Cowell told Seacrest.
"I've never heard so much rubbish," added Cowell, a British record company executive.
"I did want to clear this one up because, you know, this is a very very sensitive subject. The irony is that we did want to try and set the right tone on the show. And then something
Cowell said he supported Richardson's comments.
like this happens, and it just starts fanning the flames," Cowell said. "And people need to understand, there are families involved. It's not right."
Series executive producer Nigel Lythge came to Cowell's defense.
"This is a sad time for everyone, so it is especially disheartening that a quick camera cutaway could have been misinterpreted," Lythgoe said in a statement Wednesday, noting that Seacrest opened the show with a statement of sympathy for Virginia Tech.
Although the Internet was awash in discussion about Cowell, the network said it had received few complaints about him. One Fox affiliate forwarded two e-mail complaints to the network, which declined to identify the station and its city.
But the Fox station that serves Blacksburg, Va., where Virginia Tech is located, hadn't received any complaints as of midday Wednesday, WFXR station manager Dave Bunnell said from Roanoke, Va.
In Seacrest's opening remarks on the show Tuesday, he said: "At this difficult time, we want to say to all those affected by the terrible tragedy at Virginia Tech our thoughts and prayers are with you."
