And you think he'd do a worse job than the BBC have been doing?
Let's not forget, like him or not, this man is responsible for some of the biggest names in music right now and he'd know how to get Europe voting for his acts.

We need all the help we can get to turn this thing around and I personally would welcome Cowell completely to this task. This is not the first time he has said this, either.

He would do a far better job at doing Eurovision no doubt about that. If anyone think Azerbaijan are the king of PR spin and Cowell was involved lets say people haven't seen anything yet. His acts are built on media hype based usually on looks and being generic. I would imagine Cowell would want to win the contest but it would be based around endless hype. As he would want to win it the BBC won't pick him as they don't want to.

Eurovision 7.70 3 hour show against the likes of BGT rating 9.9 million. The eggs are in the wrong basket and they just can't see it.

Eurovision has beaten BGT twice though, with Jade & Blue.. seems more people tune in if we're likely to do well.

Only 2011 beat BGT in overnights, head to head BGT has always beat it but not massively. Jade was up against the Subo year so they did do well. It was more to illustrate Eurovision does well against tough competition year in year out. The Voice is running scared of competition as people aren't interested if something better is on.

Interesting news. I hope the BBC take Simon Cowell on board. He could produce an MF-style NF and because of his fame throughout BGT and X Factor, people will be quite interested and could bring some serious credibility back into the UK's attitudes towards the contest and Simon Cowell would not allow any joke acts past the first round. Quite surprising though at the same time as I never thought he would be involved with the BBC.

 

[Yamarus]

Massive hype incoming if Cowell produces the UK entry in 2014. Maybe my feeling of London 2015 will turn out to be right

 

[Leydan]

While I agree with you about ITV, I fear that they might butcher it with adverts and may end up showing adverts in place of the interval act, etc. Look what BBC3 did when they completely ignored the interval act last night.

ITV could produce an MF/X Factor style NF also to choose our entry, which would hopefully put more interest in the contest here and also hopefully a good quality song could end up getting picked.

omg that annoyed me when they ignored them. I couldn't give two flying f's about interviewing the 'guy with the cool eyebrows' or 'Dr eurovision' T() I was doubly annoyed when i missed the Lynda Woodruff part 2.

Simon Cowell's Next Mission To Find The 'Right Artist' For 2014 Eurovision? - Celebrity Gossip, News & Photos, Movie Reviews, Competitions - Entertainmentwise

i read it on here. It looks like he's interested in doing it but whether the bbc will let him or not.

 

[Sean]

I highly doubt Cowell would want to help the BBC win ratings with a MF-type show, but I wouldn't mind.

As long as he doesn't become our Björkman.

 

[RainyWoods]

The words "Simon Cowel" and "Credible" don't go together. I think i'd rather have the bbc dig up the grave of some poor old sod (as they have been doing for the past few years) than get that man on board. It would be wonderful to have some success at the contest but I wouldn't want the sheer embarrassment he'd bring with it.

I've said it once, i've said it twice and i'll say it again. I want Jools Holland to sort out our entry!!

Simon Cowell is a cancer on the television and music industries but he does know how to shove his new artists down everyone's throats, manipulate those with short attention spans, and is a master of lying and ******** propaganda. No matter how much you may hate him his success is undeniable and in many ways he is perfect for Eurovision.

But this rumor appears during every offseason and he has made comments about it too but I wouldn't take it seriously. I do agree however that anything is probably an improvement over the BBC. With Cowell you probably get more acts like Jedward or countless Mariah/Whitney/Westlife rip-offs and it probably will do better because when all is said and done the rest of Europe isn't as judgmental about the acts as many online are.

I agree. There's no doubt the UK would probably end up doing well with him involved. I'd honestly though rather keep coming near the bottom of the scoreboard as like you say, the man is basically a disease to music and what music should be about. He is utter manipulation. He'd probably end up sending some warbling diva singing something not far off from what Dina sung this year anyway.

I wish the BBC would make more of an effort and go for something really special. I'm tired of the cheese and radio friendly stuff. The simple fact probably is the BBC do not want to win, hence all the has-been popstars of yesteryear they keep sending with pleasant songs that have absolutely no chance of doing well when most other countries make an effort. There is a right and wrong type of effort though.. and i'd rather we not side with the devil of music.

As a matter of fact, I don't even care about winning. I'd just like for once, something thats beautifully composed and honest. Stuff thats truly special or not the norm like Albania 2012, Netherlands 2013 for instance does get rewarded. Top 10 would be fine. A song of quality that I can be proud of is all I ask. These songs never win anyway so the BBC don't have to worry.

 

[Leydan]

I don't get your issue? Its like your all jealous of his success? He knows what hes on about, and know what makes a good singer and what people want.

 

[Sean]

Thing with Cowell is that it's hard to see him as anything other than incredibly business minded. We need someone who will find us a respectable entry, not something cheap that can be milked for sales

 

[RainyWoods]

I'm not jealous of his success, just angry that he and his ilk exploit and manipulate. Success doesn't equal good, honest music. It's what people want because it's all people know. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of people he aims at are tweens, teens and grannies. To be honest you're right. He does know what people want, he knows what the mainstream want and it's all soulless, manufactured rubbish. It's all about the money, nothing else.

 

[GWTW1939]

He does NOT know what people want. He's all about smoke screens and mirrors claiming to know what's best and the gullible public eat it up. Yes its always been like that in the industry but no other manager signs and drops acts as fast as he does. His primary targets are the teen girls and grandmas who are the most easy to fool and that only works for a short period of time. None of his acts have credibility for a reason.

He was able to fool people into believing Leona Lewis was the next Mariah by shoving it down everyone's throat and building walls around her charisma free ZERO personally. That's why her first era was so successful but after the smoke cleared people realized she's nothing special and now she's flopping. Joe McElderry was the perfect one man Westlife but came off as too camp and gay (a HIGH offence in Cowell land) so he flopped and got dropped. One Direction are five charisma free boys with no stage presence (see the pattern forming) with only two average singers and three pointless hang on members. They were lucky to come at the right time to fill the gap in the market that wasn't filled cause if America had a boyband like in the late 90s they most certainly would have flopped. They put out an album every year cause he knows they have no future and their well is drying fast.

He knows nothing except the fast quick buck, claims they are the next big thing and then one speed bump drops them like a potato from the next big thing. If he was as brilliant as his reputation claims it is then a majority of his acts would last more than 3-4 years.

 

[Jopi]

I love Simon,he is the king
I really want him to find a great artist for UK entry 2014.
Or something like this..
Young singer(or young girl or boy band) + lyrics written by Calvin Harris,maybe produced by himself... Simon the head of UK's delegation.. See you London 2015

 

[MrJadeEwen]

If Simon was at the helm he wouldn't need to search for a new artist..

Olly Murs has gotten a lot of european fame already xD or the likes of Leona Lewis / Alexandra Burke are tailing off and could do with a boost.

Id assume if he is going to do it, then he would either use a an artist/group hes recently found or with someone famous such as Leona Lewis. I think they wouldn't usually do it but i'm sure with some cowell persuasion people like Olly Murs, Leona Lewis or Alexandra Burke would do it.

 

[apasionata]

I hope BBC'll let him do his magic and bring back ESC to London!

 

[A-lister]

The annual Simon Cowell rumor I see? ... almost as "likely" as the annual Adele wishful-thinkings

 

[Stuff]

The only chance Eurovision will send Adele is once Adele's son Graduated college.
