We said 6 weeks ago that “song choices” was the card Simon Cowell was always going to tout as being what he could add to the Susan Boyle package. Simon thinks he’s an expert Talent Manager you know. He’s even getting paid $100 million to appear on American Idol each season, becuase somehow the world believes that Cowell is.
With Scotland’s Susan Boyle though, she didn’t need Cowell to make her famous. Cowell had suddenly lost his ‘ace’ card he promises new insecure artists, that he can make them famous. In Boyle’s case, she was already the most famous new singer around the globe with her debut audition of Britain’s Got Talent.
Well, Simon is cunning. He’s a master at justifying the millions he charges to manipulate singers and the public. So he created a “meltdown” saga with Boyle, when she didn’t win the competition.
To be a ‘savior’, one has to create a crises. Simon did that really nicely. His ‘savior’ moment is about how he could assist Boyle with ‘song choices.’ In the age of iTunes, that’s quite hard for any intelligent person to believe!!! Boyle is more than capable of sorting through song choices on the iTunes library herself, like anyone of us can too, but thanks anyway Simon or that latest round of bull crap!
Talking to Extra TV, here’s what Cowell had to say, “She’s extraordinarily good on record. We’re not going to throw out some souvenir album of show tunes which everyone expected. We went through about 350 to 400 songs to choose from. She was blown away by some of the song choices and she’s going to surprise a lot of people with this record.”
This is not rocket science! Cowell tries to make it seem harder than what it is. Yawn!
In the meantime, SuBo amused herself amidst all of the smug Cowellry, with a make over. She’s looking good!
