Cowell rants about Reed

Simon Cowell has lashed out at Lou Reed who may, or may not, have stopped Susan Boyle from singing his song ‘Perfect Day’ on ‘America’s Got Talent’.

I’m a bit confused about this story to be honest. Word had it on Friday that Reed – or someone working for him – insisted Boyle shouldn’t sing his song on the American telly show, leaving the Scottish warbler in tears. Since then, though, Reed’s people have denied any involvement in the fracas, blaming a licensing glitch. But not before Cowell had had a little rant about it.

Asked about the whole thing by Radio 2, he said this weekend: “This is so petty, so pathetic. Loads of people have covered this song. This is a fantastic version. He’s now saying, ‘If I’d have known, I’d have given permission’. Well Lou, if you’re listening, do we have permission to put the song on next week?”
