Tiesto has broken his silence on Simon Cowell's proposed DJ X factor show in a recent interview with digitalspy. It's not shocking what he had to say but interesting that he wants to take part to help make it work.
Read after the JUMP to see what Tiesto had to say for himself:
(mixmag) "All the big DJs seem to be unconvinced about Simon Cowell's new TV venture.
First Steve Lawler made a piss take video, then Digweed said it was going to be "extremely cheesy", now Tiësto is questioning Simon's DJ knowledge.
Tiësto has said he doesn't think Mr. Cowell is capable of finding the next DJ talent, but he would consider being a judge on the TV show.
He said in an interview with Digital Spy: "Yeah, I would [be a judge] actually. Only if we could do it in the way I like it. I would make sure a DJ would look good and I'm not sure if Simon's capable to do that."
Tiësto put this down to the fact that it's hard to make a DJ look good on TV in a short space of time. "He's done an amazing job on Idol and all those shows, but for a DJ to look good on television in three to five minutes isn't easy. DJs need hours, so I can't get my head around how it would look on television.
"Most of the time - at the Grammys for example - a DJ will perform with just their hands in the air because they can't do anything and that makes it a little awkward, I think."
Hands in the air at the Grammys? Wonder which DJs he's referring to. Surely not these guys."
