As Simon Cowell’s latest pop telly project reportedly pivots from talent search to pop parody, it’s clear how much culture has changed since
Dork Magazine coming for Simon's throat.
“Simon Cowell, once the self-proclaimed emperor of pop, reduced to hawking his tried-and-tested boyband formula to Netflix like a desperate door-to-door salesman flogging vacuum cleaners to a family that’s just invested in a Roomba. “It’ll be just like One Direction!” you can almost hear him cry, eyes wild with the desperation of a man watching his relevance slip away. “The kids will love it!”
Narrator voice: The kids did not, in fact, love it.”
