The next Amy Winehouse would please Simon Cowell
Tuesday, 12th August 2008
X Factor judge Simon Cowell wants to find somebody "as good as Amy winehouse" on this year's talent show.
The music mogul wants to discover a singer or singers with a "unique" quality.
And he's challenging this year's X Factor finalists to deliver a star performance.
He said: "I want somebody who is different and unique.
"I want to find somebody as good as Amy Winehouse - I'd love to do that."
"I want someone who is going to represent this country all over the world over the next ten, twenty years.
"that's what I'm looking for."
Leona Lewis
"I'll never forget the day that Leona Lewis walked into the audition room and I want to have that same feeling again."
"It's not always the obvious ones.
"You win this show, you make the right record and you can become an international star.
"It is as simple as that.
"Leona Lewis is the biggest reality show winner in history. Fact.
"It's because of The X Factor and that's what this show can do for you."
You can keep tabs on whether this year's show has anyone of the quality Simon wants when The X Factor's fifth series begins on Saturday.
7.30pm, ITV1, you'd be mad to miss it.
