When speaking with Insider TV, he discussed the criticism that the judges gave him during his original audition when he was only 24. “He said I was ugly,” the star said about Simon Cowell. “Go look it up. It's in there. You can watch the footage.”
He went on, “So, if you looked at [Season 2’s] Top 12, you know Carmen Rasmusen – gorgeous! Trenyce, gorgeous! Kimberly Caldwell, gorgeous! And then you had me, and well, Ruben, who was a big guy.”
Although Cowell was harsh with Aiken, the singer only had kind words to say about the judge. “We'd get to see [Simon] after someone got cut,” he said. “He'd come back and give a hug and say goodbye. [The judges] were all always very warm. [Simon] was very supportive of people.”
Aiken, who is now 47, is hoping to go on tour again soon. His new single was the first that he has released in 18 years.
“I am hoping to be able to tour,” he said. “It would be lovely. We’ll see how it goes. My kid is old enough, now. He’s almost 18. In the early days of my career, the label gave me what songs to sing. They told me what concept to have on an album. I had to do an album of covers. I had to do an album of 50s and 60s songs. I didn’t get the opportunity to choose stuff. I was kind of waiting for something to just jump out at me like ‘Rewind’ has. I just knew immediately that this is not only a killer song, but it’s about the urge for nostalgia. The need to remember better times.”
