its not about the song............its about keeping something produced by cowell from being #1..........something which is bland and without substance produced by a production line whose only purpose is to create even more money for cowell....i just get the feeling that once an act has made the maximum amount of money for him he loses interest and drops them.....i couldnt even tell you who won last year or the year before
...the whole programme is incestuous .....cowell and louis are business partners, cheryl is currently cowells biggest product,the show is made by his own company, most acts that appear are signed to him or louis...........even the programme that follows it is 'jobs for the boys' at times....piers morgan is another of cowells associates from britains got talent and some of the guests have been associates (cheryl,susan boyle,danni,sharon osbourne and cowell himself)
its the hypocracy of the show that annoys me......they criticise the contestants for all sorts of things such as dodgy singing and then you get cheryl miming!.....pot and kettle time!.......they complain that people are more nervous this year.......perhaps its cos the judges are taking swipes at each other rather than being constructive....and they are making them do more this year with dancers etc......i think the judges forget that only a few weeks ago these people had never sung in this situation before...it is asking a lot
as for the xmas song......i bought it last year cos i am a fan of RATM anyway.........i shall buy this years just on purpose to do my bit to wipe that smug smile off cowells face :sneaky:
last years choice of a track by Rage Against The Machine was the perfect choice as they are against large business conglomerates or big money producing people (ie 'the machine').....all the profits they made from royaltyies went to UK charities
Its commendable that RATM profits went to charity so well done to them!:-6
But putting that aside, we are only talking about entertainment here,, if cowell has the brains and puts in the time and effort to make a lot of money for himself,, then good for him. It does not bother me,,, im sure Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke, Susan Boyle, Diversity, Paul Potts and now Joe McElderry are not bothered what money he has made either as they are now in the position they want to be because of him. people spend money all year long buying cd's, dvd's etc. I tunes, downloads,, they pay for it because they like it. people have been making money from entertainment for a long time
Simon Cowell is taking advantage of the opportunities as they arise and creating his own opportunities to make money, i dont see anything wrong with it tbh:-3
