Simon Cowell Almost Stole Away Britney’s Breakout Hit
Before he was fulfiling the dreams of a generation of pop wannabes on ‘Pop Idol’ and ‘American Idol’, Simon Cowell was making and breaking careers. In today’s edition of The Mirror, the 43-year-old music boss with the Midas touch and the razor-sharp tongue talks candidly about the stars he made – and the ones he let slip through his fingers. Cowell spoke of the song that slipped away only to launch the huge career of Britney Spears saying, “When I heard ‘Baby One More Time’ as a demo, I offered the songwriter a £65,000 Mercedes if he would give me that song. I would have recorded it with Five and it would have changed their career, but Britney got it and look what it did for her.”
