Simon Cowell Addresses Leaked Contract Details With A Laugh
Is it just us or does Simon Cowell get more and more likable every time he hits the tabloids?
Speaking with the BBC, Cowell said he was "embarrassed" at some of the leaked clauses X Factor contestants agreed to when they signed their lives away to be on the show.
The contract, which is enforceable "anywhere in the world or the solar system" (fails to mention universe, however) also bars contestants from saying anything "unduly negative, critical or derogatory" about the point-blank judge.
Cowell claimed to be unaware of the clause, and admitted that "It sounds ridiculously hypocritical of me to slate most people who come on the show and then to go: 'And, by the way, you've got to be nice about Simon'."
Hear that? It's open season!
Anther issue was the touted $1 million record deal, which actually comes to only $150,000 in prize money for the winner.
But Simon said the $1 million breaks down into the several different expenses that go into recording, producing, and selling an album (which includes a music video), so the $150,000 is just a bonus in addition to the rest of the investment.
It ain't cheap making a record!

Re: SweetPat – hey sweetpat… happy friday!
CHANGE THE POST FUCING ASS CRACK!
Honestly, they need to up the record deal. Notice how none of the winners make it big right away? That's because not enough money is invested in them. I hear David Archuletta's song way more than I hear David Cook's. Why? Because they aren't investing enough in promoting David Cook. They assume that winning should be enough, but it isn't.
Suge Knight boned me for 2 mil. to produce " The best of Balsac"!
WHERE'S MILKY!

Re: THE BIGGEST BOSS OF THEM ALL – I LIKE YOU BIG BOSS….YEP…IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS "YES MEN"…..LIKE OBAMA AND HIS CABINET PICKS…I WANT MY HARSHEST CRITICS IN MY CORNER. I LIKE TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF MY HARSHEST CRITICS BEFORE I GO AHEAD WITH SOMETHING. THAT'S WHY I HAVE A SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING CAREER. I'M IN A ROUGH BUSINESS CONVINCING PEOPLE THAT THEY NEED THINGS THEY DON'T NEED AT ALL. THE LAST THING I NEED IS A STAFF OF ASS KISSERS TELLING ME I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.
Re: kerkieberkie – YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CARRIE UNDERWOOD…YOU CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THE WINNERS. LOOK AT CLAY AIKEN. HE WAS #2 AND HE'S BIGGER THAN WHOEVER BEAT HIM…..AND LOOK AT JENNIFER HUDSON…DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING MORE?
Simon is my fave AI judge. He's harsh, yeah…and so is the real world of producers and music listeners alike(as we have so proved on this website alone). He tells it like it is. I like him.
