Ellison said: "I gave it a good go because I've always wanted to be a singer. When I got into pop I found it wasn't so much about the singing as about how cool you were. How can you expect to be given a fair chance when no one will give your record airplay."

Fair chances are given to good singers, dear.

Slllluuuurrrrrrrp

In kinda related news, Simon Cowell was overheard on the blower to American Idol producers, ranting that there's very little talent among those that have auditioned for the 'talent' show. Cowell apparently said that most hopefuls were "...just a bunch of untalented Usher wannabes".

I want to be Usher. Please.
