It’s called The Midas Touch.
Simon Cowell is largely given credit for discovering the original One Direction.
He’s the one who formed the group back in 2010 when they were auditioning on The X Factor.
Apparently he thinks he can do it again.
Allegedly, a depressingly low number of singers showed up to their first Liverpool audition.
They went on to cancel the dates of two upcoming auditions.
No more than 40 people in line at a time is brutal.
Especially considering they ran a massive marketing campaign to promote it.
So it looks like it’s time to nut up Simon.
You’re obviously a person who thinks highly of yourself.
You named your show, “The Midas Touch” after all (i.e.
everything you touch turns to gold).
Middle school girls, Kelly Keegs, and pedophiles everywhere will hang posters on their wall.
They’ll have massive success until the most talented boy embarks on a solo career.
Simon Cowell will make millions and get more plastic surgery to finally complete his transformation into Ronald McDonald.
Another classic music industry success story.
Or you’ve got the option to take the easy way out and call in the big guns.
That’s not the worst idea.
Other’s will be sure to remind everyone twice daily how much they don’t actually care.
It’ll be great.
That’s a show I’d watch.
“Simon Cowell puts together the most controversial band of all time.”
Now we’re on to something…
Either way Simon better not pull the plug on this.
