Will Young Changed Opinion On Big Nasty After Fight

Will Young tells OK! magazine that his opinion of Simon Cowell changed after their heated exchange on Pop Idol, crediting the fight to his success on the British charts. “I guess my initial view of him changed after we had that infamous row,” he admits. “I’d sung ‘Light My Fire’ and he didn’t like it and called it ‘distinctly average’. He apologized to me the next week in front of millions of people and he didn’t have to do that. That meant a lot to me.”
