Cowell: 'Critics Are Right About Grease Talent Show'
Music mogul Simon Cowell has hit out at his own TV talent show GREASE IS THE WORD, insisting critics are right to "slaughter" it.
Cowell serves as executive producer on the British reality show, which is searching for two stars to appear in a revival of Grease in London's West End.
But the American Idol judge is disappointed with the outcome of Grease Is The Word, claiming the show is a failure because its format is too close to his other reality TV programmes, like The X Factor and Pop Idol.
He says, "Grease Is The Word is not going as well as I had hoped. It has been slaughtered by the critics and rightly so. It is far too similar to our other formats."
