LaKisha on Kissing Simon Cowell: ‘I Would Do It Again’
May 11th, 2007
Immediately spotlighted as one of this season’s early favorites, big-voiced LaKisha Jones, a single mother with a dream, rolled with the punches week after week as the competition grew more grueling and the genres moved further away from her diva-like R&B style. Last night, America voted and Jones just didn’t have enough to top beat-boxer Blake Lewis’s performance.  The next morning, a very hoarse Jones spoke with reporters about the pressures of being an early favorite and what she thinks led to her elimination. Plus, she shares her thoughts on the final three and reveals what it was like to kiss Simon Cowell.
Is Simon a good kisser?
He is a good kisser and I would do it again.
How were his lips?
His lips were really soft and thin.
What did Simon say to you after the last show?
He told me that he was really proud of me and that he knows that I’m going to have a successful career.
What was your favorite comment from Simon and what go you steamed?
My favorite comment from him would have to be, “She’s in a league all of her own.” [Least favorite was], “You’re shouting.”
