A BOMBSHELL is about to explode at the Brits.


Leading contender for the Outstanding Contribution award next year is X Factor supremo SIMON COWELL — a man who has never written a song.

The controversial choice will polarise the music industry, much of which despises Cowell’s brand of manufactured pop.

Previous winners include legends PAUL McCARTNEY, DAVID BOWIE, FLEETWOOD MAC, U2, STING, TOM JONES, PAUL WELLER, THE BEE GEES and OASIS.

GEORGE MICHAEL was originally lined up for the award after hanging up his mic following his 25 Live tour.

But his erratic evening antics have seen his name scored off the list.

Multi-millionaire music mogul Simon has been sounded out by the Brits Committee — a panel of the great and good in the music industry — to see if he would accept the gong.

And Mr Nasty was extremely positive about the approach, telling them he would love to take a bow at the glittering Earls Court bash next February.

A source said: “If Cowell gets the big gong it will cause an almighty stink in the music game.

“He will be the first svengali to win rather than an artist — the publicity worldwide would be enormous.

“X Factor is looking like it is having another weak year in terms of new stars so he is open to the idea.

“The timing is perfect to highlight the success of LEONA LEWIS in the US.”

I suppose it is one way to make sure Leona turns up at the February ceremony and, er, WESTLIFE.

And in his defence, Simon does have the biggest influence on the charts today.

Critics would argue ZIG & ZAG, THE POWER RANGERS, STEVE BROOKSTEIN, MICHELLE McMANUS and ROBSON and JEROME is not the greatest of rosters.

Perhaps this should be the year for rock lords LED ZEPPELIN or PINK FLOYD to be recognised.


Zep have been massively influential with bands such as KINGS OF LEON, RACONTEURS and OASIS and the death of Floyd founder member RICHARD WRIGHT should be marked in some way.

It will be a spectacular U-turn by the high-trousered one if he does show up.

Back in 2002 he said: “I hate the Brit Awards. The whole voting system is peculiar.

“The Brits is the most boring night of my life. Same people, same outfits, same gossip.”

You only sing when you’re winning, eh Simon?
