talent and x-factor in the same sententce, rich.harris? thats a serious contradiction. Cowell is part and parcel of why the music industry is being destroyed - its music for non-music fans, music for those who just download the occasional track they hear on t.v..... sod the albums, sod the rest of the work artists and bands do in a year - just release one big-hit money making single and get rich quick from it, then dump the artist for "the next big thing" the very next year. Its cynical, destructive and makes a mockery of the bands and artists who work bloody hard to get where they are. Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Sheryl "airhead" Cole and Dani Minogue are enemies of "proper" music, musicians and songwriters.
