SIMON COWELL EXPLAINS WHY BRANDY GOT FIRED OFF "AMERICAS GOT TALENT"

The “American Idol” judge said he thought Brandy “would have been incredibly uncomfortable” attempting to appear on the show while dealing with two lawsuits over her December car crash that left a woman dead. Cowell's co-producer, Ken Warwick, adds: "(The car crash) would have played probably on the audience's mind." “America’s Got Talent” is currently holding auditions for the second season, which is scheduled to premiere at the end of the month on NBC.
