...I can just imagine a conversation between Simon Cowell and his personal assistant one morning...
PA:... "Simon... it says here in the Daily Mirror that Shannon Noll is telling everyone that you stopped him 'conquering the world' because you stole his record and made it a hit with someone else"...
Simon:... "who or what is a 'Shannon Noll my dear'?"...
PA:... "he's some Australian singer from many years ago... he says that you ripped off his song 'What about me?' way back then"...
Simon:... "wasn't that originally a song released by 'Moving Pictures' way back in 1982?"...
PA:..." yes!"...
Simon:..."so why was it HIS song for me to 'rip off'?"...
PA:... "I have no idea Simon"...
Simon:... "I'll tell you what... put it on my agenda for some time early next month to allocate about 5 seconds to actually contemplate this and pretend to actually give a shit okay?"...
PA:... "okay Simon... it's scheduled in"...
Simon:... "um... cancel that... that's showbiz!... and... I really don't give a shit... I can spend that 5 seconds on something more important... like making more money"...
PA:... "okay Simon... it's cancelled"...
Simon:..."thankyou... now... who else's career can I destroy?... how about we make more millions..."...
...seriously... Shannon needs to realise that he is just a small spoke in a big showbiz wheel... there's no point in him banging on about it just because Kerry has spoken about Hollywood and roles that she may have missed out on... it sounded like Shannon tried to go one better than Kerry with his story to me... as if Simon Cowell is a bigger name than all the people that Kerry mentioned in Hollywood... did you feel left out Shannon?... you need to move on mate... cheers.
