Idea for a television show: "Later With Jools Holland And Simon Cowell"

Basically the concept would be that the suave boogie-piano enthusiast and bandleader would attract an eclectic collection of international megastars, up-and-coming trendsetters and forgotten giants of yesteryear to an intimate, club-like studio setting, and then Simon Cowell would give a frank assessment of the often wildly variable quality of their performances.

If Cowell is too expensive these days then Gordon Ramsay, or Jeremy Paxman - it is not as if one needs a musical genius to point out that Adele often sings flat, or that R Kelly is pretty much a karaoke act these days.

  1. Since when is Simon Cowell a "musical" genius? That ship never sailed.

  2. That Country House Rescue woman would give them a pretty frank assessment.

  3. I believe R. Kelley's "Trapped in the Closet" deserves a doctoral thesis of the first calibre. It's like latter-day Shakespeare and Mozart combined in one, man. With "Trapped in the Closet," R. Kelly finally succeeds where Wagner failed.

  4. Surely it should be Cheryl Kerl...
