Zeroes For Heroes: Simon Cowell Fights On The Front Lines
WHAT better way to salute the British armed forces than by instructing 12 wannabe singers and budding celebs to sing a warbling version of Mariah Carey’s Hero?
Answer: none.
The Sun features the X Factor’s first ever song for charity, and hears Simon Cowell say that:
“It’s too good an opportunity to pass up.”
Indeed, even in war there is opportunity for spivs, arms manufacturers and entertainers to get rich and famous. For Vera Lynn, read four-piece girl group Bad Lashes.
It’s That Man Again:
“It is such a great way to pay something back to the men and women who give it so much for this country.”
And not only the X Factor contestants, like girl band Girlband, “full-time London mum” Rachel Hylton and Alexandra Burke (“Early performances made Cheryl Cole cry with joy”), but soldiers, too.
Take it away Our Brave Boys and Girls:
Lord knows Dreeeeems are hard too followowowow
Burr dunt leert anywone tear dem awayayaya
Hold orn
There will beeee tomomorrow
In tiyme yoool find da way…
And the soldiers realise what it is they’ve been fighting for…

Simon Cowell, was apparently a tea boy in an office during his younger days,but now lives in a multi-million dollar house in Beverly Hills and, has his shoes made in France for a cool 1,000 pounds a pair.
Many people it seems don’t fancy being an electrician or plumber when they read about football players making 100/150 grand a week and also models who aren’t incredibly beautiful making millions, and snorting big bucks up their famous noses while in the public eye.
Clearly a 73 year old granny didn’t fancy the work idea too much either after getting a long prison sentence for smuggling cocaine.
People wanna be rich and they wanna be famous but doing a day’s hard graft often goes against their religion. People are so impressed by big money, and many simply don’t care how you get it. Just get it.

if Rachel can’t handle the pressure now, then talented or not, she’s wasting everybody’s time….
beats me how everyone focusses on the performers anyway - when will people learn, it’s not about them, it’s about which out of the judges wins and what the viewing figures are…. later on it will be all about how much cash they rake in from the voting….

It’s about time some teacher in every single school told all these Wannabes that we need electricians and plumbers and engineers and machinists and lawyers and doctors!
How many kids plan on being a model, pop-star or footballer before they even sit their GCSEs???
To watch those poor kids crying their eyes out on Saturday was absolutely hysterical!
Foe fuck’s sake! Will somebody try and make working at the local supermarket sound interesting to these fucking whining, pathetic excuses for songsters? Pleeeeeease!
I would love to have got all those 185,000 people who have been lining up to sing for Simon Cowell and push them into trucks and force them into National Service - then they would know what our troops are up to.
How any of our Boys and Girls in the Army feel when they see this shower of sh*te giving up jobs to sing - when troops have given up family-life to fight for and defend these fuckers - is anybody’s guess!
I don’t know where this country is going!
I know that it’s not producing anything - apart from slapper-girls and girly-lads who take longer to get dressed up for a night out than the girls do!
I must admit that Rachel is a one-off though! If she sorts her attitude out.
I am so sorry that the Yorkshire kid didn’t get through - he was gorgeous!
