‘Apprentice’ celeb Clay Aiken respected Trump, not Cowell – “Being in front of Trump is more intimidating than (being in front of Cowell),” Aiken told TODAY.com in an interview. “That’s because you realize his success is real outside of TV. Whereas with Cowell, I don’t deny him his value – but singing is not his expertise.” Respect played a big factor in preferring Trump over Cowell, said Aiken. “I had a Spanish teacher in high school. I rarely got in trouble in her room because I felt I was disappointing her if I got a bad grade. That had more power over me than teachers who told me I talked too much. That level of respect I had for her made me not want to fail for her. I never had that feeling with Cowell — but I had it with Trump.” – Read more at MSNBC
