‘You’re 30 next year! Ha ha’: Simon Cowell’s cheeky birthday message to Cheryl… 10,000 feet high!
He’s certainly one for grand gestures, and following Cheryl Cole’s cheeky and very public dig about his age on his last birthday, Simon Cowell was determined to one-up her.

The X Factor mogul enlisted a sky writer to scrawl an equally ridiculing message to Cheryl in the sky above her Las Vegas hotel this week.

He remind Cheryl that her next birthday will be a very significant milestone, writing: ‘Cheryl – Congratulations. You’re 30 next year! Ha ha ha’.

    Love Amelia’s song!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ACMLXLYSSX73RNYQOUZWSO2I4U Enough already!

    It is nice that some older X Factor artists and a couple of newer ones are getting attention, but what happened to their current 5 million dollar winner.   Playing least in sight and rumors flying all over the place about losing weight, etc.  WTH?  This is sending a strange message to contestants…place high enough to get noticed but don’t win the thing.

    Just not feeling Amelia’s single. The melody stays within the same small range note-wise the entire three minutes. The verses and the chorus have the pretty much the same melodic contour, making it one long trudge of a song.

    Hope this is okay to post. In a round about way I came across little Connie Talbot’s audition tape from Xfactor UK.  I looked her up and she is 11 now with a new single. That kid is magic.  I hope she get’s her big break!!!

    Is X Factor UK shown in the US???  I’m just wondering why MJ blogs on this show.

    I liked Amelia’s song at the beginning of the song but it got repetitive and old quickly.

    X Factor UK doesn’t play in the US, but thanks to the internet and live streaming it has managed to pick up a fan base.  I truly appreciate MJ’s willingness to have it covered on her blog. 

    ETA: And many, many, many thanks to Mateja for writing it.

    I didn’t know.  But yes that’s very nice that MJ covers it.  I was always wondering, where the heck is this show??  Now my daughter is in love with 1D and I think that they are so cute.  Also a fan of Connie, the cute little girl from 2007.  But I haven’t really been a follower of the show.
