Simon Cowell Talks About AI, Barack, Britney

Outspoken Simon Cowell holds nothing back in talking about just about anything. The 'American Idol' host shares who he thinks will win the popular talent show, the presidential race, and of course, what he thinks of Britney Spears.

In an interview with 'Extra,' the music mogul says of all the contestants in 'Idol,' he thinks 17-year-old David Archuleta has the biggest chance of winning.

"He's cute. He's likeable. He has a big voice. He's the one to beat."

And although he is British, Cowell did not have reservations on uttering his opinions regarding the U.S. presidential race.

"I think he is terrific," he says referring to presidential candidate Barack Obama. "He's like a pop star. Anyone who can draw 25,000 people to hear a speech about politics is a star."

And as for Britney? Cowell says that he would decline to help the 'Toxic' singer if he was asked to manager her career.

"I couldn't be bothered to be honest. It's time for somebody new. It's just too complicated."
