Tony
Bennett Unimpressed by Simon Cowell's Nurturing Style
5/3/07
Singing legend Tony Bennett had an argument with Simon Cowell over the
music mogul's nurturing style of wannabe pop stars.
Bennett has advised contestants on American
Idol and British TV show The
X Factor - which are both judged by Cowell - and was surprised at the
speedy path of fame they take.
Bennett tells London's Time Out magazine, "I had it out with Simon
when I met him and I suggested that he should open up tiny clubs across
the countries so the kids could break in and learn properly.
"He said, 'Oh, I haven't got time for that, I'm too busy making
money.'"
