One of the most successful people in the music industry today, Scott Borchetta, President and CEO of the Big Machine Label group joined
American Idol this season as mentor to the contestants. Borchetta recently talked to the press about his work on the show and working with the singers.
Borchetta talked to SciFi Vision about what surprised him most about working as a mentor on
American Idol. "You know, a lot of the things that I really came into this with my eyes open and my mouth shut, just to learn the program, understand how the entire production works together. I've been so impressed how this team takes care of each other. From the judges all the way down to every piece of this production, it's really incredible and it's really blown me away about how much everybody cares about the show.
"Watching the judges interact, especially during Hollywood Week and the Green Mile, and seeing how much Jennifer and Keith and Harry take so much time and care in trying to make sure they do the best job possible. You never know that coming from the outside. It's like you see an hour or two of television every week and you don't know everything that goes into it. There's so much love and care that goes into the show, it's blown me away."
