Simon Cowell makes his singing debut in public and it's quite something.

Have you ever wondered about Simon Cowell's own singing abilities? Despite being responsible for launching the careers of countless singers, the businessman, record executive, and TV personality has kept his own vocal talents under wraps...until now.

For over two decades, Simon has been creating and judging on popular talent shows like Pop Idol, The X Factor UK, and Britain's Got Talent. And while he's known for not holding back on sharing his opinions, especially when it comes to the potential of aspiring stars, he's also made a name for himself by signing successful artists like Little Mix, Olly Murs, Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, and One Direction.

But on the occasion of his 65th birthday this week, Simon decided to share a different side of himself with the world. To mark the special day, he posted a video clip of himself singing "Happy Birthday" on social media. And while it may not have been a flawless performance, Simon admitted that singing is not his forte, jokingly adding, "That's why I decided to never be a singer."

Despite receiving messages of love and support from famous friends like fellow America's Got Talent judge Heidi Klum and comedian Howie Mandel, Simon couldn't resist a playful jab from his longtime colleague Piers Morgan, who asked if he had received his "free bus pass" yet.

Although Simon and the talented acts he's backed have enjoyed immense success over the years, he was recently called out by another legendary singer, Sir Tom Jones. The Voice UK coach shared his thoughts on Simon's coaching methods, stating that he thinks the music mogul can sometimes "take it too far" with his harsh critiques. In contrast, Sir Tom believes that The Voice focuses on showcasing true vocal talent, as they eliminate those who can't sing before the first auditions.

As Simon celebrates another year of life, he reflects on reaching the age where people start clapping when you reveal your age, jokingly saying, "that's depressing." But he remains grateful for his health and happiness and expresses his appreciation for the kind messages he's received. And as he looks towards the future, he bids farewell with a promise to be back next year.
