Cowell said that he would also like to see former Beatle Paul McCartney, Beyonce Knowles, Lionel Richie and movie director Quentin Tarantino, who was a guest judge in 2004.
It is known that some of the biggest singer/songwriters in pop history have visited 'American Idol' over the past few seasons.
