Simon Cowell lists his top singers and discusses the changing music industry

Jennifer Hudson asked Simon Cowell if he had his own list of top singers like a personal Mount Rushmore. Simon said his choices were Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Mariah Carey. He explained that he had met Whitney and Mariah, and once even got a phone call from Stevie Wonder.

At first, he thought it was a prank and hung up, but Stevie called again. Simon Cowell admitted he couldn’t believe it was really him, and later realized Stevie was a kind person.

When asked about the changes in the music business, Cowell said:

“Oh gosh, so much. I tell you the one thing I think about is that no one ever wanted to be a one hit wonder, right? But now everybody wants to be a one hit wonder. Seriously, it's like everyone's like posting these songs. They're like gimmick songs. You get a lot of money for one record.”

Simon Cowell said he was invested in building people’s careers. Overall, he felt that not much had changed. According to him, the world is always in search of someone determined to persevere. He compared those people with diamonds. Jennifer Hudson added that it was about one’s passion, which she said should always be bigger than fear.
