DEAR SIMON CORWELL, WE HAVE A BOB DYLAN IN THE .........

Dear Simon Corwell,

It is indeed a great shame to read that you have to drop the 6 year old Connie “pure magic” Talbot from a recording career with Sony-BMG because she is “too young”.


Britain's Got Talent - Connie Talbot

The Warong Kopi would like to propose an alternative for Connie.
You should consider our present music sensation from the shores of your old British colony of Malaya – Namewee, a 24 year old who is currently residing in Taiwan.
His song writing and rapping ability has become the most talk about musical performance in Malaysia. It has even attracted far more attention than the government sponsored theatrical tribute to our First Prime Minister.
He certainly has caught the attention and imagination of Malaysia’s cabinet ministers and even our current Prime Minister has shown much interest in him when he mentioned his music during his news conference.
Taking the cue from their boss, some of the ministers would have spent sleepless night, lying awake with Namewee rapping in their head over and over again.
Such is his influence, that even those who do not have any knowledge of Mandarin hurried to view his six minute video and they sure were impressed judging from the comments that were left at the video site.
The Warong Kopi is delighted that Namewee has built for himself a global audience, now that the international mass media have given him space in their write ups.
Do pay a visit to his site and you will probably agree with me that we have a Bob Dylan in the making.

Yours Sincerely,
Warong Kopi.


Simon Cowell Makes Little Girl Cry

The ever snarky Simon Cowell is back in the headlines, this time for supposedly dashing the dreams of a six-year-old contestant on Britain's Got Talent.
Gap-toothed wunderkind Connie Talbot wowed audiences with her performance of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" on the British reality competition, leading Cowell to announce that he saw a record contract in her future.

"This girl is special," Cowell said on the show.
"I have never felt such a powerful silence in my life as when Connie sang. It was pure magic."

Cowell indicated that he was interested in signing the youngster to his Syco Music imprint on Sony BMG, even predicting that she would outsell Joss Stone within a year.
"Despite what we were initially told, Simon and his management team have changed their minds," Connie's dad, Gavin Talbot, told reporters.
