Music's brilliant, isn't it? Look at the great artists of the last 50 years: Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Frankie Cocozza, Led Zeppelin, Alexandra Burke, Destiny's Child, Ray Quinn. What do they all have in common? They were all discovered on TV talent shows.
But now X Factor judge and Take That lyric-meister-general Gary Barlow has taken matters into his own hands and has gone out into the world looking to discover talent for himself. Like a madman!
He's been visiting Commonwealth countries to record performances for the official "Hurrah, the Queen's still alive" track he is co-writing with Andrew "The Phantom Menace" Lloyd Webber, which will be played at the Queen's Quartz Jubilee Concert in June.
While he's there, he's been rooting out the finest young talent from the Commonwealth and he thinks he might finally have found one young rapper with 'The X Factor'.
That's right, he had to travel around the world to do it but he finally found his man in a wiry ginger lad of questionable parentage. Now all that remains is for Barlow to convince the imaginatively titled "Prince Harry" to lay down his rhymes over the top of Barlow-Lloyd-Webber's insipid Royalist Chugathon.
Harry told reporters that he "can't sing" but after Barlow cracked a joke about smacking a tambourine, the young Prince decided to hit the Take That front man with a lyrical bombardment that hasn't been seen since Jay-Z's early releases. It is thought that the Prince has no interest in destroying his credibility by appearing on a commercial collaboration at this time but Barlow hopes he will be able to convince him.
Of course, Harry has other things on his mind. He's currently in Jamaica as part of his Diamond Jubilee tour, representing the Queen in the Commonwealth countries that she can't be bothered to visit, just to remind them that they still live in a world where Post-Empire Britannia rules the airwaves.
