"The top 12 are ridiculous, the top 20 was ridiculous," he told E! News."Every one of them can be a number one artists, without a doubt."

"Their voices, their attitude...look how much they've grown," he said of this season's contestants."From those little shy kids you saw at the auditions to now...oh!"
The May 21 finale came just days after it was announced that Idol had been renewed for another season, which will be its seventh on ABC and 22 season overall.
