Simon Cowell Defends BMG On Garethgate Controversy
Pop Idol judge Simon Cowell responded to the Sun’s demand for answers on Garethgate, which alleges BMG favoritism of the show’s loser Gareth Gates over Will Young. Cowell explained the JXL/Elvis remix deletion which helped Gareth reach #1 saying, “The release of the JXL remix had nothing to do with Will. Elvis was scheduled to fit in with the World Cup. And if Gareth and Elvis had come out in the same week, Gareth would have still got to No1. Gareth sold more records in Week 1 than Elvis.” As for whether either will be launched in America, Mr. Nasty said, “There are no plans at the moment for Gareth or Will in America.”
