Simon Cowell and the gang are gearing up for Season 21 of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent,\u201d which marks Simon\u2019s 10th judging anniversary!\u00a0<\/p>\n

He talked to \u201cExtra\u2019s\u201d Terri Seymour and joked, \u201cNobody told me. I didn\u2019t get an award.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

So maybe no award, but Simon\u2019s reward is a lifetime of \u201cGot Talent\u201d moments, like the one from \u201cBritain\u2019s Got Talent\u201d\u00a0that put them on the map, Susan Boyle. She was the unpolished and eccentric Scot who shocked the judges and the world in 2010 with her rendition of \u201cI Dreamed a Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show turned Susan into a global phenomenon with over 25 million albums sold. But Simon still has some regrets.<\/p>\n

Terri said, \u201cYou recently spoke about Susan Boyle\u2019s audition and saying how awful you, Piers [Morgan], and Amanda [Holden] were when she came out onstage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon shared, \u201cSusan is a real character and I think at the corner of my eye, I must have seen her messing around in the wings or something because I thought she was a comedian, a stand-up comedian, and yeah, there is that famous awful look between me and Piers, and that\u2019s just one side of me. That\u2019s what we were like on the day. And I wanted people to show that you can\u2019t judge a book by its cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boyle recently took to Instagram<\/a> to debut a new look and seemingly tease new music.<\/p>\n

Cowell said he has not seen her new look, so Terri explained, \u201cShe\u2019s got like a bob and she\u2019s wearing a fur coat and sunglasses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon gushed, \u201cI absolutely adore her. She did more good for our show than probably any other contestant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terri said, \u201cSo, what craziness are we going to see this season?\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He replied, \u201cI hope a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

One new change, Simon invited the contestants into his actual L.A. home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really, really good to be able to sit down with each contestant for about, you know, 20, 30 minutes or whatever it was on the first day and actually really, really get to know them,\u201d he said. \u201cI really made the point, which is, look, \u2018You\u2019re here as my guest. Eat, drink, do whatever you want\u2019 to the point apparently one of the contestants found a bedroom and took a shower.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon is clearly calming with age. He\u2019s now a family man with his fianc\u00e9e Lauren and their son Eric. They were taking it easy in Britain\u2019s famous quaint and quiet Cotswolds\u2019 rolling hills and centuries-old villages.<\/p>\n

Lauren and dancing judge Bruno Tonioli, who\u2019s staying at Simon\u2019s, even crashed the interview and teased a prank coming up on \u201cAGT.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more action and excitement, tune in to \u201cAGT\u2019s\u201d season premiere Tuesday night on NBC.<\/p>\n
