So the rumour mill is in full force that Simon Cowell is a front runner to receive a Lifetime Contribution to the Music Industry at next year’s Brit Awards.  This little nugget of information has caused quite a stir amongst industry players including The Who front man Roger Daltrey, who claims ‘Cowell has done for music what Gordon Brown has done for the economy — nothing,’.  A statement that many serious musicians, artists and industry stalwarts will undoubtedly share but there’s no denying that Cowell is a shrewd marketeer who has made millions for the British music industry.

Problem is, could the man responsible for signing Sinitta & Zig & Zag really step up on that stage and accept an award for contribution to music with a straight face?  Well The Spice Girls did it so why not!
