They're already running promos for the upcoming "American Idol" season, with the usual bad singers being made fun of by the judges. At the end of one of the current ads, a female contestant launches into a horrid rendition of the Spice Girls' "Wannabe"- followed by this zinger from Simon Cowell: "Well, you sound just like a Spice Girl. Unfortuntely, that's not a complement."
Hah, that comment would just be a hoot. Except that the creator of "American Idol," Simon Fuller, also created the Spice Girls. Strange that they'd bash that specific group, though considering Fuller allegedly had a torrid affair with Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton, perhaps it's not a coincidence.
