July 1st 2024.
Simon Cowell, the well-known X Factor boss, recently announced his new venture in search of the next big boyband to follow in the footsteps of One Direction. With their global success, Simon is determined to find the next group of talented young singers who will capture the hearts of millions, just like Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Liam Payne did.
To kick off his search, Simon took to the streets of London with a clever marketing strategy. He posed in front of a massive sign that read "Simon needs you! Future megastars wanted for new boyband. No time wasters." Armed with a brush and bucket of poster paste, the Britain's Got Talent judge attracted quite a crowd, stating that since One Direction, there hasn't been a successful boyband.
However, things seem to have started off on a messy note. One singer, Fin, was approached by Simon's team and he was less than impressed. He shared the Instagram DMs with his fans, as he is already a part of a group. Fin took to TikTok to express his feelings, stating that he received a message from someone on behalf of Simon Cowell. The DM explained that they were searching for singers aged 16-18 for a new boyband and that the search would be filmed for a potential documentary. Fin was not interested and replied with a stern "Tell Simon Cowell to go f**k himself. Team 1D," showing the camera as proof. He then walked off, stating that he had nothing else to say to the music mogul or his team.
Fin received heaps of support and praise from his fans on TikTok, with many applauding him for standing up to Simon Cowell. It seems that Simon's reputation has taken a hit in the eyes of 1D fans, who have accused him of exploiting the group. Although he was there from the start when they were formed on The X Factor in 2010, he has faced criticism for mismanaging the band. Members of One Direction have spoken out about their struggles with addiction, depression, and losing contact with Simon in recent years.
In a recent podcast, Simon reflected on his greatest career achievements and stated that his only regret was not keeping the name "One Direction." He explained that the members have the rights to the name, and he jokingly offered to buy it back from them. However, his comments received backlash from 1D fans who accused him of exploiting the members.
Despite his efforts, it seems that Simon's search for the next big boyband is not gaining much momentum. K-pop fans have also criticized him for ignoring Korean acts and their worldwide fame. Representatives for Simon Cowell have been contacted for comment, but it seems that his search for a new boyband may not be as successful as he had hoped.
In the midst of all this, The One Show has been taken off the BBC schedule, causing a huge shake-up. And to add to the drama, a Hollywood icon's controversial movie from the 00s is now available on Netflix, causing quite a stir.
