The mega record producer and Asia’s Got Talent judge on K-Pop, President Donald Trump and why Justin Bieber should’ve won a Grammy.
8 DAYS: You’re one of the most prolific music producers in the world, having worked with the likes of Celine Dion, Michael Bublé and Jennifer Lopez. This is also your second tour as an Asia’s Got Talent judge. Does it take a lot to impress you?
DAVID FOSTER: It always takes a lot to impress me. Even when I was in my mid-20s, it took a lot to impress me, which is why I stumbled upon people like Celine Dion. The great thing about Asia’s Got Talent is that it's not just a singing competition. I've had to really broaden my scope in terms of what I like and don't like. For example, I have learnt about dance and magic. Fortunately, I'm an amateur magician; I’m not that good but I love magic enough to tell the difference between a good magician and a bad one. With the help of Jay and Vanness [Wu from Season 1] I've learnt so much about dance, just as Jay has learnt a lot about singing through me.
How would you describe your fellow judges, Anggun and Jay Park?
