Aren't quite a few of those owned by Sony though who also own Syco?

 

Given there's only four major record companies in the world there are bound to be some Sony acts.

Did Simon not state that he wanted live performances on the new show.That would make a huge change for the many acts that resort to miming these days.I imagine it will be more style over substance with big productions and promoting acts that Simon has an interest in.The UK needs a good quality pop show but have changed my mind about whether Simon will ensure a wide range of acts get to perform.

Yes - Simon never uses his Shows to promote 'His' Acts.

 

Funny - I could have sworn that he was using 'Safe', by Westlife,

as backing 'Music', when they showed his 'Judges House', on 'X Factor.

 

IF he gets his own TV Music Show, of course he will use it as 'Product

Placement' for every Act, that he has personal connections with. He's

worth over £100 Million, & all he thinks about is making more.

 

Still - he is so talented - all those Hits he's written, all the Record Producing

he does in the Studio. All the Singing that he does. Not to mention all the

Instruments that he plays. (Oh! I forgot - he does NONE of those things.

He gets others to do it all for him. He just creams off his share of the cash!).

 

If he does get his own Pop Show, & tries to use it for his own ends, every

Week, then he will be even more hated in the UK Music Industry than he

already is - and - believe me - he is despised. Now he's turned on Paul Weller,

because Weller criticised 'X Factor'. Cowell says he has not made a decent Record

in Years. (At least Weller has made some Records - Cowell just rides on other

people's talents! He has none of his own. He just manipulates the naive).

LOL, but he is a TV producer, he's not a singer or a musician :S Would you ask Leona Lewis to be able to produce a TV show ?

 

And at the end of the day, he's a business man, he's not Mother Teresa. Of course he's gonna do some 'product placement' during his TV shows, and it's no surprise we hear a bit of the music he sells (there are LOTS of different backing music on the show though). I'm not utterly shocked he pushes his own acts, rather logical I'd say.

If there's a new TOTP there should be 1 big international act and 1 big UK act (to keep the show running) but also 1 act that needs a bit more promotion that isn't too big. As much as I don't like JLS, Westlife etc I would prefer a lineup of Rihanna, The Wanted & Katy B then JLS, The Saturdays & Joe McElderry :puke2:

 

This way the acts that need a push will get one, and the show won't have to close down because of a lack of boy bands and X Factor contestants.

I agree with what everyone has said really- It will be good if we get a variety of artists performing, not necessarily all from different genres, but say new releases that week that are doing well currently

 

however, if its another 'Simon Cowell and Friends' show and we get Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, JLS, Diana Vickers, Shayne Ward, Take That, Westlife, Black Eyed Peas, Joe McElderry, Olly Murs, Michael Buble and Robbie Williams I will not be impressed and will stay well clear of it <_<

Joe McElderry - Syco

Usher - LaFace/Arista

Diana Vickers - RCA Records

Katy Perry - Capitol Records/EMI

Cheryl Cole - Fascination

Michael Buble - 143/Reprise

Bon Jovi - Island

Jamiroquai - Universal/Mercury

Rihanna - Def Jam

Shayne Ward - Syco

Kylie Minogue - Parlophone

JLS - Epic

Westlife - Syco

Take That - Polydor

Olly Murs - Syco

The Wanted - Geffen

Justin Bieber - Island/RBMG

Nicole Scherzinger - Interscope

Alexandra Burke - Syco

Glee - Columbia

Black Eyed Peas - Interscope/A&M

Let's be honest, after looking through that list ^ the people (OF BUZZJACK) cannot seriously complain about that!

It all just depends who is releasing at the time doesn't it?

 

The reason Simon Cowell can get the big guns for X Factor is because they are releasing their new albums at that time period, they have extra reason to promote and know that the show has massive ratings to get their music and knowledge of it out there.

 

If this was a weekly show - Simon won't be able to rely on the usual suspects and would have to have more "unknown" acts on. More chance of new acts on the show - opening music up to a wider audience.

 

It does baffle me, in this download age, that there isn't a mainstream music show on TV. I can see why they were taken off air in 2005/2006 - but there seems to be more of an interest in music now. As long as they put it on at primetime but doesn't get in the way of any rival big shows, it should work.

 

And god knows the albums need it - while the singles are constantly on 2.5million a week, I'll dread next year albums will barely make 1million per week

Simon is just so cynical and insincere, obviously popular acts will be the priority over new talent.He supposedly claimed at the press conference to like Jessie J but I imagine that is a PR move and he would not recognise her in a lineup.I do hope it would involve live performances and try and include older acts that may not sell huge amounts of singles but do well in the album charts.

I just hope it reflects what's in the charts. Like, if the charts was full of 90% rock music, and the TV show was 90% rock music, yes, I'd hate it, but it'd be fair.

 

But I just really can't imagine Simon Cowell being incharge of a TV show and having performances from people like Magnetic Man, Devlin, Deadmau5, Tinchy Stryder and Afrojack. Do you know what I mean? If he does, then fantastic!! But I can't help but think it'll be a JLS-centric episode every few weeks, even when they have nothing to promote.

 

Also, if this show does come into existence, I hope they do interviews with the artists and stuff, rather than just doing a stream of live performances. Also I would like to see some more creative things, like two current popular songs being mashed-up and performed (like You Got the Dirtee Love), rather than just standard performances. Also, I think it'd be cool to see a few album tracks featured from time to time, rather than all singles. Another thing is, if it does happen, not have each episode centered around 3 artists, but half a dozen AT LEAST. Plus, at least that way it'd be fair to bring back the same artists a couple of months later, and it'd be better for the viewers. People will watch the show to see an artist they really like, so the more artists per show, the better.

As much as I LOVED TOTP and shows like CD:UK, if Simon Cowell is behind it I can't see me liking it, full of former contestants from X-Factor, American Idol and any other reality show he's been part of, you can forget bands that made it on their own! Only exceptions might be acts from his record label (majority are from reality shows anyway)

I'd rather not see interviews, I'm not interested on rumours and what they had for breakfast and who they're dating! It's all about the music!!

All of those acts would EASILY get a slot on any music show like Top Of The Pops or CD:UK, even without the support of Simon.

Really? I love getting to know more about the artists. But the interviews don't have to be about rumours, what they have for breakfast, or who they are dating. They could be about music!! :lol:

 

It fascinates me to know about how the songs are made, what previous ideas they had for the songs, what songs they drew influences from, what the lyrics are really about *coughlikeag6cough*. :lol: Plus, I'd be really interested to see what current hits the artists like. Do you know what I mean? Or they could talk about their albums, or how they ended up doing certain collaborations, etc.

I see your point, but maybe they could do that on a spin-off show, now there's BBC3 and ITV2 or E4, a sort of chat to the artists show. I really liked the fact that TOTP was all about the performances and a chart run-down with no interruptions. It's like X-Factor VT's and the chats, 4 contestants left, 8 songs - you can play 8 songs in half an hour or so. If you include the judges comments and a couple of ad-breaks you could have the show over in 50 mins, why 2 hours for it??

 

All of those acts would EASILY get a slot on any music show like Top Of The Pops or CD:UK, even without the support of Simon.

 

They would, yes, but would acts, even if it was just a video, like Radiohead or Shakespears Sister who recently re-entered the top 40 get a spot? Or maybe Bon Jovi with their album entering the top 3 and livin' on a prayer re-entering the top 75. Not to mention The Beatles (obviously a video would be shown) but with about 7 songs all in the top 75, 2 of which were in the top 40, plus 2 albums in the album chart, would they get a spot? I doubt it!

If he just admitted 'I'm only in it for the money, and couldn't give a $h!t about the music industry in general', at least that would be honest, and we'd know where he really stood - rather than his current smarmy hypocricy. :puke:

Erm Bon Jovi were on this series of X Factor singing Livin On A Prayer, so that kinds defeats your point! ;-)

it will be good because he's well connected!

When was new talent ever given an airing by TOTP as a priority? They played what was in the charts and the most popular bands/acts got played/performed the most. It was only when they got away from this philosophy that the show nose-dived. A popular music show in primetime needs to be about popular music! There's been some fantastic pop music in the last few years and having live performances on primetime TV would have been superb. Those performances allow the public to form a bond with an act, turn them into fans, and thus record sales.

 

On Jessie J - she's been writing with Leona for Leona's third album. They were pictured together on a night out a few months back, so wouldn't be at all surprised if Simon knows of her.

 

People have to remember Simon's cold dead hand won't be hovering over this every week - he just hasn't got the time and will probably be in the States. It'll be experienced music producers applying the best production techniques to a live show. People will only turn in to see the best acts in the world, not recycled X-Factor acts.
