Outspoken windbag Simon Cowell has said In an interview on the UK’s Classic FM that Welsh songstress Charlotte Church has thrown her singing career away.

“She was our representative. And this was a girl who in my opinion, with a bit of training and some work, could have been a massive massive operatic star for the next few years because she’s really talented. To me, it appears as if she’s thrown it all away for this different career. She’s crazy.”(source)

Church recently announce she was taking a year off from music to concentrate on her television career. Channel 4 has given her two more series of The Charlotte Church Show for next year. Cowell was being interviewed because he has yet another TV show starting. My guess it’s some sort of talent show.

And of course some pictures of Ms. Church in her bikini. Just for good measure.
