We're going to run what we run. We're not going to install a lot of new stuff, but the receivers have been running this stuff all summer. I have high expectations for them.

I don't think any of us can compete with Cowell. He is the best at what he does.

We are constantly reminding them that they are in a competition. I had a word with all my contestants and I know Kelly Rowland had a word with hers. It's reality check time.

The trouble with the artists this year is they are all obsessed with Twitter and headlines. It feels like they are all getting a bit above themselves.

We are all lucky to be here, we are lucky to be on stage and have millions of people watch us.
