Simon Cowell Is Looking for the Next One Direction

[stewie_e]

Simon Cowell needs YOU 🫵🏼

…instead of a talent show, Simon Cowell is going to form “the next generations global boy band” in a documentary, and is looking for applicants aged 16-18 who can sing and dance and ‘want to be the next One Direction’ https://t.co/iXVRDakuVr pic.twitter.com/fj6CfZbCVS

Of course he does. Gotta get them young so they don't have the industry experience to know what horseshit they are signing onto.

i saw 16-18 and i was like jfc for real??? just straight up like “i want them young enough that they’ll never have a normal
adulthood. i want them to be globally sexualized before they’re old enough to graduate college.”

There were so many boy bands I loved back when I was a kid/teen (Take That, 5ive, Boyzone, Westlife, BSB…), I actually agree that there are not bands like these for teens today
So many girls group also (Spice Girls, Atomic Kittens, Sugarbabes, All Saints, BWitched), the 90’s were a golden age for pop music

i think this is why i started to gravitate to kpop so hard after boy/girl bands dried up elsewhere.

That makes sense, I’m not into Kpop but from what I saw, their level of performance is also way higher than what we were used to

Sad thing about pop bands is that more often than not they are terrible for the mental health of their young members, we have had countless former members revealing horrible behind the scenes stuff

[sandstorm]

mte. While I don't really follow individual members, I like the fact that these people, Aespa, NewJeans, are a GROUP, and they have good output, and sometimes, BlackPink makes good music too (:

and hell is just a sauna

This is really funny bc I was just thinking earlier today about when he said something like "instead of talking about K-Pop, the world will be talking about UK pop" a while back lmfao

[michaelscott]

jaden jeong could create one direction but simon cowell could never make loona

[noodlecookie]

Lmao I’ll never forget that line. He said everyone has days to enter his uk pop competition and it’s been six(?) years since.

[marywebgirl]

I know he's just being racist, but pretending k-pop doesn't exist makes him look dumb.

[siaht]

Racist and jealous lbr
