"Those shows always end up choosing the wrong kind of singers. They call them ‘stars’ but to me they all sound like backing vocalists. You hear Rod Stewart, you hear me, you hear Jagger, you hear Bowie-you recognize our voices within three or four notes. Everyone of those American Idol kids, you wouldn’t know one from the other. For me, great singing is when you’re physically moving people. In The Who, Pete would play to the front row and I’d play to the back row, and we’d push them through the music."
