Simon Cowell voices fear over auditions for his new boy band talent show


p to audition for his latest talent quest. The entertainment tycoon, who's on the hunt for a new pop sensation akin to One Direction, a band he famously put together on The X Factor 14 years ago is launching a brand-new show to find fresh musical talent.

Despite his track record, Simon is feeling the pressure in this social media age, worrying that young hopefuls might prefer to stay in their bedrooms rather than step onto the stage. Even in a music scene currently ruled by solo female powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo, the ' Britain's Got Talent' judge is certain there's room for another chart-topping boy band. Simon even suggests that if One Direction, who the music mogul formed out of solo contestants on the X Factor in 2010, were to emerge today, they'd be an even bigger hit.
