When he was interviews he was visibly trying to keep a straight face - it was a classic coup. He has just increased the sales of the X Factor by 5 and Rage by 10 times......both for his company. Genius. That is why putting him in charge of Top of the Tops with him even having a new release segment where he could give his opinion on releases would bring in the audience and be a sure fire winner FOR EVERYONE in music.
Why the jealousy towards him ? I cant understand the jealousy in the UK - it is nasty. No one seems to like anyone who succeeds. They want to knock them down as soon as they find success.
The UK Is full of bitter people with no talent who wish to pick on those of us who are talented. Bah humbug to them all. They need a dose of a CHRISTMAS CAROL and need to lighten up.
GO SIMON. I hope ALL singles do well this Christmas. Music is a wonderful thing.

So the story goes - Simon, delighted by the huge attention we provoked here last year for Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (and Tim Buckley's - both on Sony and both getting Cowell a kick back fee) set up this Rage Against The Machine battle (also Sony; also kick back fee) and is busily complaining vehemently about the campaign (almost as vehemently as he loathed Jedward). My God, this could provoke even bigger media coverage for the final!!
He certainly learned promotion from his mentor in the 90s!

Typical bollocks from BR. If Simon ran TOTP, 85% of what would be on there would be Sony/Syco acts. Talk about a conflict of interests. He has not saved the music industry.
Why would you want a man with very dubious music tastes (in fact, someone who's not really a music fan) overseeing TOTP? Stupid beyond belief.

I could make TotP a success. I have it all planned out, and lots of positive feedback on my idea from the "yoof".
But I'll never be asked.
