`American Idol` debunks Prince report
LOS ANGELES, CA, United States (UPI) -- 'American Idol' Executive Producer Ken Warwick has debunked a printed report that Prince was going to perform on the Fox TV talent competition.
'I don`t honestly know' where the rumor came from, Warwick told Zap2it.com. 'It was kind of something that I heard on the daily buzz through the office but was never actually put under my nose.'
The story was first reported by the New Post`s Page Six gossip column.
Warwick said the show never initiated talks with Prince and doesn`t really need to go looking for stars.
'There`s a queue from the record companies, as you can probably imagine because we have 30 million people-plus each week tune in, and so we don`t need to go hunting, as it were,' he said.
'American Idol`s' ratings are up 14 percent over last year, which Warwick attributes to the contestants.
'We`ve got a soul singer, a rock singer, a country singer, a Barbra Streisand (type), we`ve got a crooner,' he said. 'It`s that diversity, I think, that keeps people interested. This year more than ever, the public have really hooked into these kids.'
