Simon Cowell Netflix documentary

[Anonymous]

Anyone watched it? He's trying to find the next ``One Direction'' which I don't think can ever happen again given social media, nicheness of cultures etc.

He’s closeted gay, right?

I have watched this 2x over

Didn't ever see until looking up other comments that he might be gay.

On the other hand WHO CARES

In 2026 you get to be attracted sexually to 1 thing and form families with the doors on #3 and #2

Simon Cowell can do what he wants

I do believe, though, that he clearly likes to put together young male groups

I was SHOCKED how much I enjoyed this. The first episode auto-played after another show, I couldn't find the remote right away but then started enjoying it and we just kept watching. It was really well produced and I loved the relationship between Simon and his wife(and btw, if you assume he is gay you probably haven't met many British men haha). But most of all, it was fun to get to know the kids and see them navigate the process. I loved the studio episode--how great is Poo Bear at getting the best out of them? There are so many talented people in this world!

And PS: they just sold out their first tour in a day so maybe they have a shot!

They criticized BTS. Stupid of them to put down extremely successful and senior groups before they even get started on the journey.

Boy bands are an easy formula. Also I think a lot of women don't like sharp criticism and his persona is quite savage. It may be affected for shows but that's something a lot of women think is "mean" and don't want to be around.

He is a big fan of this not quite famous lady.

He's gotten her on several of the Got Talent show versions.

And he was partly responsible for Susan Boyle's career.

Most metrics show BTS is at least on par with 1D now, and they are still active with a huge album snd tour coming this year and all members had recent successful solo efforts. No shade on 1D, just trying to be factual here.

OP of this quote. I meant the personalities of the boys, like anyone from my grandma to kindergartner would've recognized One Direction. From Harry's curly hair to Niall's laugh to the fact they all came from working and middle class backgrounds in UK and Irish towns, many felt a connection and you could tell they were normal boys who actually liked each other and were shocked with the fame they received.
