Let's give Simon Cowell some credit

After all the slagging off of Simon Cowell this week, let's at least give him some credit.

It takes an enormous amount of hard work to take a group of largely talented people, give them an all time classic song, and yet still produce a a cover version of that song which genuinely is appalling.

What the f*** is happening to British music?" Liam, who was at South Kensington's Gore Hotel, added: "And what are those things on their heads?"
