Simon Cowell forms female version of One Direction
After managing one of the best boy bands in music history, music tycoon and judge of “The X Factor Judge” and “Britain’s Got Talent” Simon Cowell has embarked on forming a female version of One Direction.
Cowell has tapped One Direction member Louis Tomlinson to help him in this endeavor.
Cowell told entertainment news sites Mirror and The Sun, “They (the female group) are unbelievably good. They are as good as I have ever heard.” When asked about Tomlinson, he said, “He has got fantastic instinct… I think he has got a real knack for this,” adding that Tomlinson, 24, told him about this idea over a year ago, and “he stuck with it.”
The 56-year-old tycoon also revealed that he had encouraged another One Direction band member, Harry Styles, to sign a solo record deal with Columbia. The 22-year old has also landed a role in the World War II film “Dunkirk,” which is directed by Christopher Nolan, People Magazine reported.
