Simon Reveals Huge 'Idol' Secret

"Extra" has your first glimpse at season seven of "American Idol," with judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul revealing their biggest season secrets.

"This will be the strongest twelve we've ever had, and I've never, ever said that before," Simon revealed.

And for once, they all seem to agree!

"We've never had a top twelve like we're going to have this season," admitted Paula.

Added Randy, "I think it's the best we've ever had."

But will "Idol" produce another Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood this year?

"I'm going on record: There's more than one," Paula said.

Added Simon, "Yeah, Kelly, Carrie - all of them. I mean, very, very strong."

With the competition even better, and the stakes higher, one thing remains the same: Paula and Simon's disdain for each other.

The dynamic between the two is "atrocious as usual," admitted Simon. "You know, Paula sees right, I see left. I mean, that's what it's like."

Any arguments so far?

"Yeah, one or two," Simon revealed.

Added Randy, "We fight a little bit...everyone gets frustrated. I understand. I get it."

PAULA is the best. Simon is ok i guess, i like him and hes funny, but I mean Paula, she is IT. I wouldnt watch American Idol if she wasnt on the show.

-for Shannon: they didnt say anything about season 6 being good at the start of that season. the only seasons they have been truly excited about in the past were season 4-5, which also were the two best ones (so far).

I love Simon!!! He looks SO devastatingly handsome in this interview!!! The judges are so excited about this season’s crop of contestants; I hope it’s true that there are so many amazing ones. Sometimes a contestant who wows in Hollywood bombs in the Top 24. And the Top 12 is never guaranteed, because they are not chosen by the judges. Sundance Head, anyone?

LMAO sorry but they say this every single year! it’s gotten to be a running joke really. It’s ironic that they claim every season is the best season and yet they’ve only found two TRUE superstars!
