Simon Cowell


Simon Cowell is famous for American Idol or Pop Idol/X Factor for those living in the U.K. He is responsible for many talent some of them would be Westlife and now his new favorite IL DIVO. Simon is a smart man; he made Westlife popular by getting them to sing past hits song in their own rendition. If you look at most of Westlife’s song list I guess 80% of hit are remakes. Now with IL DIVO he uses the same method to make this group popular but with a twist. Use a foreign language; the public has no clue what they singing anyway. All Simon had to do was to find 4 mannequin-looking guys with good opera voices and make them sing Un break My Heart by Toni Braxton, that woo-ed the crowed.

On the other hand on the American Idol, for those who have been watching tis season (A MUST WATCH). Simon is definitely setting the bar high for the contestants and I agree with him. All the contents needs to stand out as this year we do have the finest crop of them all. I’m rooting for the ladies especially for Lisa Tucker. Her voice is amazing.
