Personally, I'd be rather interested in hearing their brutally honest opinion of him - assuming they have the same legal rights as him to say whatever they want.
How do you get 5 different people with different styles of music agree on all the music they put out.. someone will clearly have to give in and be forced to put out music they don’t love
these boybands have not much control at all...they are just products. THeir producers, managers and all the people behidn the scene do 90% of the stuff.
Maybe, but I think that's why it's important that members of a group aren't limited to do only group music. They should have the option to work on music outside the group too. Yes it's a lot of work to do both, but it's possible. For instance BTS has been a group for over 11 years, but they've also done a lot of solo music on BTS albums and their own solo albums.
I get the backlash he is receiving, but then again he is a manager/business man. He does not see music/entertainment as an artistic form but as a business to make money. This is how unfortunately most managers/producers/companies are in the last 20+ years.
It just so happens that the business he's in is rooted in packaging the art of music to the widest demographic possible while locked in a cycle of discovery revolving around those who practice it. Simon as a talent show judge in the 2000s optimised the music industry at its most ruthless.
there story goes around they were already picked to be a boyband before that show started and the show was just a way to launch their career and get the audience interested in them. I am not sure if it's true, but I think often times things on tv are just staged just like lots of reality tv have just scripts and such and they are more like cheap fiction that should pass as real
@@PowerRedBullTypologythey were definitely already set up before the show. it's no different to how love island is all stage managed and the cretins on the show are told to act like it's all real
Big part of the fall off in the number of bands is the transition to streaming. It’s not as lucrative anymore, so splitting that income is far less appealing
BTS? Kpop boy groups are bigger than any previous boy bands. I would say gen z and gen alpha are more obsessed than previous generations in this respect
in the old days songwriters and composers would write the songs and singers would simply sing the song. Basically nothing changed now except that they lie to the audience, copy older songs or just use ghostwriters and maybe the 'artist' is in the same room when a a song is name, but most are just singers basically...but this is a problem in interviews of course as it must seem the artist is super talented and special..so they act like the artist make the songs. It's basically just as much as businesss as it has alwasy been, but they figured if they lie to the public about stuff to sell more records that is the way to go forward. If Beyonce is asked about a song, she has to have a story readay about how she made it. THese days artists can not get away with 'I do not know, I did not write or compose this..i have i no idea what it's really about...I just perform and sing"
Agreed. For me it is a pity it does not show so much in his solo music. I mean, I am not saying his solo stuff is bad, I just think it could be so much more interesting with this voice of his. Listening to it now I would not have guessed that he was the best in their first performances and in my opinion he was.
Simon Cowell needs to be blacklisted. He regrets not owning the ‘One Direction’ name?! Of course the band members should own it! One Direction IS the band members! It’s like saying someone other than Taylor Swift can own her name! Louis Pearlman tried to do the same thing with Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. It didn’t work for him and it won’t work for Simon Cowell. Networks and record labels need to stay clear of this plan of his for a new boy band! The saddest part of this whole thing is that people will still turn up to the auditions. Despite everything that Simon Cowell has said and done people would still allow themselves to be exploited and compromised (physically and emotionally) just for a ‘chance’ of fame and fortune.
Taylor swift rights her own songs and didnt use a tv talent show, simon cowell created one direction so its very different, shouldnt he own what he created?
I heard one direction were basically already casted before they went on that tv show..it was just a good place to launch them. I have teh impression this man is full of bullshit anyway and he does not come of as particularly bright or insightful otherwise. I mean, he apparent has a talent for making this work..but I would not trust much of what he says
@@madelyn.meadows28 nicole sherzinger works for simon cowell, creating the band entails more than just going these guys could sing together, simon was the one who was in charge of their entire career and put it together
@@hbhd308 Simon Cowell owned plenty of 'rights'. Do you think he didn't profit from One Direction? He made more money off the band than you and I or anyone else could even imagine. The fact that he actually believes he should own their band name as well just shows how greedy and self entitled this man truly is. The 1D band (and brand) would be nothing if it wasn't for the members. Naming rights belong with the artists, regardless of how they were discovered. I recommend watching 'The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story'
2:35 - Josh Zerkaa loves numbers, spreadsheets and finds them exciting............. And he's part of the biggest, well-known group on TH-cam and after over a decade they are still a huge success, popular and growing, smashing Netflix and turning everything they touch into gold
@FedericoCastro-wm8cl Harry is the one being protected and supported by powerful corrupt Azoffs. Lots of money 💰 The others have had the 1D help but they've had to deal with the music industry sharks 🦈 on their own. Possibly only Niall is also protected being still with modest management.
It’s worth it IF you want this level of success. I don’t like him but he is right saying this. If you don’t work your ass of you will never make it in this industry. That is a fact.
You know what would be revolutionary? A pop band who play instruments and their sound comes from the way they play. You can still have them work with songwriters to make sure the hooks are there, but I think it’s time to bring some human feel back to pop music.
simon talking abit of bs he aint dumb he wanted the name and they told him no so needs to stop acting like it was his mistake the boys were on point and told him to jog on
@FedericoCastro-wm8cl okay so he's enjoyed his life. Not everyone wants to spend their whole life being obsessed with health and fitness and that's okay. He definitely doesn't look young for his age (and to be honest people don't have to aim to look young) but there's hella 64 year olds in worse nick
I think it’s more the fact that he’s not leaning into his age, the plastic surgery and the exact same wardrobe make it look like he’s trying to cling onto youth and is failing dramatically. He’s also quite clearly under the influence of something which doesn’t help
“As good as one direction?!?” They may have been popular but “good” they most certainly were not. In ten years time will anyone even know three of their songs? Everyone knows who they are but their music is utterly anonymous
harry styles create the name so there you go its theirs!!!! if simon ownes it then you would not have anything just suffering and as a fan that is the least thing you would want, it just wouldnt work at allllll its obvious, and he want it to put an animated thing? like bro not even the fans want that, so make it make sense, the fans love them not the name, actually the fans HATE simon 1 Responder
I remember the look of pure jealousy on his face when he saw BTS rising, when they performed on one of his shows and said: see you at Wembley. Simon tried to create new boy group after 1D to try to rival bts, but failed You know why? BTS trained 3 years before debuting, they work 18 hours per day, they write and compose, they dance, they have rights to rheir music, freedom, and they have respect for eachother. Those boygroups Simon tries to make only want fame and money, they don't have skills or will to develop skills. Cause everyone want a tik tok hit.
I am sorry but BTS and all this K- Pop bands have even less freedom or rights and anything they do than 1D ever had. If they would have they would have a healthier balance of life and work. And they don’t train as a formed group but in massiv boot camps, where they even pay a fortune for their training not knowing if they ever get selected for a band or not.
This is all PR simon cowell owns not the name but still makes money off them. Remember other artists who've tried owned their own name ir music they don't usually stay alive. Prince, Michael Jackson etc etc Or rebelled like Britney Spears have been drugged and forced to work and threatened with taking away their child custody. They're setting things up for a 1DIRECTION reunion...they know the fans hate simon cowell and because people have come around to understand mental health, the music industry control of artists, xenophobia, islamaphobia and racism it's not trendy to hate Zayn anymore. So simon will take the hit. 1D will tour making all involved rich...including simon and z^onist Ben Winston
Simon C has almost single handedly ruined the quality of music over the last 20 years. He sells records and creates a circus. But no quality music like the 60s to the 90s.
I think their biggest achievement was that they had a huge amount of success with utterly crap songs! I don't think they did even 1 good song, literally they are all dogshit but Harry Styles did at least do a couple of good solo songs! I think if some ugly nobody had performed those songs, they'd have gone nowhere! 😐
BTS is nothing like one direction. they sing kpop while matching outfits and dancing. one direction doesn’t do that. they were unique unlike tons of other boy bands.
Hmm yes but they are designed like a car , they are selected young out of 100’s , get surgery, trained in groups, trained in camps for years , the music is manufactured, it’s not really great is it 😮. I’d have kept quiet if I was you .
Based on this Simons mum should get royaltys and control of everything plus ownership of his name he because she created him and the name (and he didn't even create the one direction name)😂
are you kidding? they’re one of the biggest boy bands of all time. so what if they’re not the top biggest? that doesn’t mean they’re talentless. i’m sure they have more talent in their pinky than you do in your entire body. you guys have no idea what you’re talking about. one direction was extremely successful and still is to this day years later.
