Washington
(ANI):
'American
Idol'
judge
Simon
Cowell
has
requested
Michael
Jackson
to
think
about
coming
on
the
talent
show
before
he
goes
for
his
comeback
tour
in
London
this
summer
(09).
The
tough
judge
has
even
told
the
'Thriller'
hitmaker
that
he'd
be
foolish
not
to
perform
on
the
hit
programme.
Jackson
has
announced
a
50-date
residency
at
London's
02
Arena,
which
begins
in
July.
And
music
mogul
Cowell
has
urged
the
King
of
Pop
to
thrill
the
nation
with
a
showcase
on
Idol
first.
"It's
the
best
platform
he
can
have
in
America
right
now.
He'd
be
stupid
not
to
do
it," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
