And should he if asked?

I think it would be a nice gesture to have the pioneer talent show winner, still around after so many years who's just recorded a stonking 4th album. I've just heard it and am amazed. I just read the Will Young interview on here, and think it would be a great time for Simon and Will to bury the hatchet.

Well it's really the only prime time promo slot on telly apart from SCD and he has a new album to promote and another single will be out by December. Would there be a space with Leon, Rhydian, SD, Leona, Alicia Keyes and Britney in the pipeline? I hear Boyzone want on too.

Yeah, I think it would be good to have him on, he can show that you can be succesful and have longevity without making it in the US.

As Queen Maeve points out, there is a huge queue of Syco acts to appear, possibly as many as 5. Then you have Cheryl who will get Girls Aloud on and Louis will probably get Boyzone on.

That takes us up to the very late stages of the competition when Britney is rumoured to be on and then there is just one slot left before the final. I think they'll probably try and get another international star that will generate press coverage.*

There is always a chance of course. Will is signed to SBMG and there is still the Cowell connection (albeit more distantly now) through Ronagold. So it is still in Cowell's best interests for him to do well. Given that he can sing well, he might be a candidate to do the duets in the final when they need someone reliable?

* Given their much hyped past rivalry, there might actually be quite alot of publicity to be had from Cowell and Will Young coming face to face again.

I actually think it would be a masterstroke
