Will Young is planning to record a duet with American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. The pair sang together on the final of the US show last month.

But record boss Simon Cowell says they need to choose an amazing track for it to be a hit.

Simon told Heat magazine “I think it will happen, it makes sense. It would have to be something as good as the George Michael and Aretha Franklin duet ‘I Knew You Were Waiting For Me’.

“It simply has to be amazing, otherwise don’t do it.”

He adds that him and Will are still not the best of friends, after he publicly favoured Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates.

He adds “We’re not enemies. We respect each other, but he has a much closer relationship with Simon Fuller. In essence, I’m like a child, I want my own way. I’m always saying things I regret.”
