It’s a nice setup for Simon Sleasebag to maintain #1 A&R status in the World (2008, but he just dropped to #11, do to re-signing Rhydian and the whole cast of this last X Factor losers). Obviously you still believe he knows what he’s doing. Even though it was proven that he himself doesn’t when years ago, he had the nerve to tell Gary Barlow he was too fat, to ever make it as a Rock Star! lol I’m just waiting for Gary to publicly rub that in one of Simon’s two faces! haha

Now who are we supposed to believe with Leon? Simon on the audition and what he said about Leon’s natural talent or Simon when he was on the spot with the Bookies and allowing them to finance votes to make sure Leon was the Winner. In the make believe contest you call the X Factor Final…… Or should we instead believe Tim Bryne, Leon’s own A&R rep who should know is an artist himself (unlike his boss Simon Cowell). Who he has said, that Leon Jackson has more raw natural potential than any other artist he’s ever handled in the past or for Syco and RCA Records. His list? Il Divo, Leon Jackson, Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward, The X Factor and Westlife!

So in 5 to 10 years, you can tell me who out of X Factor has really made it. Because X Factor and the Big Four Labels (including Sony BMG) are on their way out and becoming dinosaurs in an age where the Music Industry is too busy biting the hand that feeds it. US the people who used buy their crap. Of course with Simon and his buddy Edgar Bronfman Jr blowing chunks on the business end of music deals, where else would they be headed? haha With RIAA (suiing it’s own customers) debacle started by Edgar Bronfman Jr, who sold the family Seagram’s business to buy Warner Music Group after admitting his own kids had pirated music. So where is Simon’s fellow RIAA member today? Well Warner Music Group has lost so much value from when he bought it, that it almost hit Penny Stock! lol

You don’t seem to understand that being dropped by Sony is not a bad thing by todays standards and where the music is headed with too many hands in the pie and artist themselves realizing in increasing numbers that they no longer need the Labels and forced contracts that rob them blind of not only their money, but their rights. You are about to witness a Revolution and the come up’ence do these worthless ignorant slobs like your beloved Simon Cowell! :D JUST In Case you haven’t been paying scores of artists are asking to be dropped by their Labels, including Sony BMG and Warner Music Group! So come tell about it in 10 years after artist and their fans have had their say!

Like Reprise Records, the Label started by someone with very similar beginnings. The man who started this Label was born to poor parents in Hoboken, New Jersey of all places (not much different than Glasgow, Scotland). Did he let that stop him?

Frank Sinatra was a delivery boy, a singing waiter, who at 20yo joined “The Flashes” and they won First Prize on Major Bowes Amateur Hour, with over 40,000 votes. But he wouldn’t see a great career till 1939 with his first #1. Even after 40 songs released, many movies and hordes of teenybopping girls, gone goo-goo eyed over him, his popularity died down for a time near the end of the 40’s into the 50’s.

But in 56 to 57 he was again the king of contemporary ballads, jazz and Swing was reborn. Along with fellow Rat Packers, Sammy Davis, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop (known as “the clan”, “the Summit”). One well known critic, after hearing him sing with The Flashes, remarked “ah… he’s short, skinny and can’t sing. He’s just a mangy old singing waiter, who’ll never amount to much more than a “FLASH” in the pan singing or with the girls. My dam dog sings better”, he remarked!

They told him he couldn’t act either and what did he do? Take home Grammy after Grammy, throw an Oscar or two in with hordes of girls following him like puppy dogs. Thus, leaving the poor bastards who didn’t believe in him eating crow and choking on it. After 63 glorious years singing, he died a Legend!

Warner Bros Music and sub Label Reprise Records have been primarily centered on Country Music lately (and it’s fans in America). Reprise is still the Label of Frank Sinatra era throwback singers. With Michael Buble leading the new Rat Pack in Canada and America.

But even he would struggle in the UK where X Factor Plastic POP queens and artificially created Dance music is what you all live by. All in an effort to compete with North America’s deluge of Talent. You all would rather ignore the real talent that’s right under your noses! ;)

They said that he only had 20 minutes sleep and all kinds of rubbish just to make it sound like it’s not his fault he’s crap.

As for his sob story, did no one else notice his house? It did not look like his mum was struggling to me!

Anyway, time will tell who the real winner is and I think I know!
