Richie Sambora Goes Indie With New Solo Album (Q&A)
6:00 AM PDT 9/18/2012 by Michele Amabile Angermiller
The Bon Jovi guitarist opens up to THR about his new label, personal struggles, how Jon Bon Jovi factors into the equation, plus his thoughts on singing competitions -- and Adam Lambert.
Adam's part:
THR: You have lent your talents many times as a mentor on The X Factor, and you’ve reached out to contestants like Chris Daughtry on American Idol. Would you ever consider joining a panel on one of those shows?
Sambora: I like those shows personally because people get signed and become stars from it. I did a gig with Jennifer Hudson not too long ago and she is astounding. Carrie Underwood came out of that situation, she’s amazing, and so is Kelly Clarkson. This Adam Lambert kid? I think he’s really, really good. [American Idol] builds stars and that excites me. I do not have the time to give to a show like that. Maybe down the road at some point I would consider it. I would be good at it. I have been a mentor on X Factor all over the world and Simon Cowell is a friend of mine. I have been a mentor on Idol in many different countries. I had Chris Daughtry out on the road with us. It’s been a fun show to watch with my daughter and I really get off on it and there is a lot of great talent that comes off that show.
