Male American Idol contestant gets flirty with Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell was almost lost for words as a flirty male American Idol contestant asked him to get on top of him.

The show, now in its ninth season, hit Los Angeles for more auditions with guest judges Avril Lavigne, dressed in a horned-hoodie, and Katy Perry, wearing a revealing pink dress.

And things got a little awkward for Cowell when a raunchy male contestant followed up a flamboyant singing/dancing audition with some flirtatious comments.

Wannabe singer Jason Greene ended his over-the-top – and rather literal – performance of I Touch Myself on the floor, and the judges jokingly asked him to stay there while they gave comments.

“Want to come down and join me?” he asked a shocked Cowell.

“No,” barked the Brit, as the other judges laughed.

“Please … Do you want to spend a little bit of time on me?” added the contestant, before acknowledging he may have gone too far.

A gobsmacked Katy Perry said: “I feel dirty … and it takes a lot for me to feel dirty!”

The contestant was rejected and eventually left – after putting on an over-the-top dance routine on his way out and handing presenter Ryan Seacrest his phone number.
