Have u guys seen this? What's your thoughts???

http://celebrity.uk.msn.com/news/cowell-show-will-seek-top-dj-talent-6

Simon Cowell has unveiled his latest TV project - a talent search to find top DJs.

The media mogul has joined forces with actor Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, to produce the new format, as he called DJs "the new rock stars".

The X Factor boss's firm, Syco Entertainment, has been working with Hollywood star Will's company, Overbrook, for more than a year to develop the live show, which they expect to launch internationally.

They will announce details of broadcasters in the US and UK in the near future.

Simon already has a strong partnership with ITV, which broadcasts his shows The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. The network also screened last year's game of luck, Red Or Black.

The new show comes in the wake of a blip in the ratings for the 2011 series of X Factor.

Simon - said to be worth around £200 million - said: "We have been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people.

"DJs are the new rock stars - it feels like the right time to make this show."

Jada said: "This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent."

Simon's TV formats have had huge success with local versions of Got Talent being aired in more than 50 countries. And 125 countries now broadcast the US version, America's Got Talent.

LOL fucking says it all really. someone needs to send in a perfectly mixed banging Hard House set... And when he does hear it, just watch Simons trousers rise up even further to pucker up into his arsehole to stop himself from shitting his pants.

"DJs are the new rock stars - it feels like the right time to make this show."

 

He's about 15 years too late yet he thinks he's got his finger on the pulse!!   Prick!  

 

I can  imagine alot of "DJ's"  turning up with there laptop and tracktor controller and then playing shitty dubstep.   

 

Real dj's don't exist now so having a talent show is absurd!  wink

I'd always thought that if nothing else Simon Cowell was astute. Obviously not, maybe those high waisted pants are cutting off the circulation to his head.

I'll cease calling myself a dj once this goes viral. Will be dull as arse and be full of dubstep and minimal.

Might dust off the hardcore techno vinyl just in case though! evil

It's just gonna be the DMC DJ Comp gone Britain's Got Talent.

Regardless of Cowell's obvious promotional skill its destined to be a failure (a dramatically disastrous one at that) because

 - DJing / turntablism isn't going to appeal to 90% of those who watch his other stuff
 - no credible brand or club would ever book a "DJ" who is only well known purely through winning a TV talent show without alienating their crowd
 - even the novelty factor couldn't save it from being bloody boring TV
 - the "superstar DJ" thing is over 10 years out of date as far as the mainstream is concerned

I'm slightly worried by the possibility of the nation's council kids turning into wannabe Whitbys overnight tbh, on the other hand maybe it might encourage some kids to actually go out clubbing and see what real DJing is all about? looking

it would be funny for someone to come out looking quite normal and drop the first tune - anything off deathchant records then look at the panel while smiling.

Then maybe drop in a little 70's disco for commercial purposes

Unless is DMC style it would be very boring to watch, and even then, would only appeal to those into turntablism. Can't see it entertaining millions of Brits at Saturday tea time. They clearly do want the next David Guetta or Havana Brown, so that's who will win. Wonder what the sob stories will be like.

when you have divs like Kate Moss hiring herself out 250k for half hour (I bet you a tenner she cant beat match to save her life!!!!), Callum Best who spends more time signing autographs and shaking hands than mixing (nothing to do with the bloke sitting on his laptop in the corner, honest!!!laughing) and that blind dude from big brother this show will more laughs than anything else

Perhaps not but if people are willing to pay her that much then I say good luck to her
