Simon Cowell, the well-known music mogul, is on the hunt for the next big thing - the next Zayn Malik for his boyband. It's no surprise that Simon is eager to recreate the massive success of beloved boyband One Direction, and finding someone with Zayn's talent and charisma is his top priority.
With the help of Simon, One Direction - made up of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn - took the world by storm in the early 2010s, topping charts and winning numerous awards during their six-year run. Now, Simon is determined to find someone just like Zayn, as he recently praised the 31-year-old singer in an interview with Haroon Rashid on BBC Asian Network.
"[Zayn] was exactly who you're looking for in a band," Simon declared, highlighting Zayn's amazing voice, captivating stage presence, and unique personality. Simon has a keen eye for talent, having worked with One Direction from the very beginning until their eventual split.
Interestingly, Zayn was the first member to leave the band on March 25, 2015, which left fans heartbroken. However, according to Simon, Zayn was never fully invested in the boyband concept and even tried to avoid his boss before live shows. "I had to find him, he hid!" Simon recalled, adding that he encouraged Zayn to push through his nerves and showcase his incredible talent.
Despite the initial disappointment of Zayn's departure, Simon is still determined to find the next "megastars" for his new boyband project. In fact, he even put up a huge sign promoting the announcement on June 4, declaring that "Simon needs you!" and that "no time wasters" will be tolerated.
However, Simon's search for a new boyband has received backlash from fans of One Direction, especially after the music mogul admitted that his biggest regret was not owning the rights to the band's name. This revelation sparked criticism from fans who felt that the young stars were exploited by the industry and put in a "bad space." As a result, each member has stepped away from the spotlight at some point.
Despite the challenges, Simon remains determined to recreate the magic of One Direction, but many fans believe that the success of the band cannot be duplicated as it comes from the individual talents of each member. Only time will tell if Simon will be able to find the next Zayn and create a new boyband sensation.
