“I’m not interested in a single word he says, but I am interested in what he sings,” Cowell told Yahoo. “I’ve heard it, it’s good, he’s going to do well.”
Cowell also got verklempt discussing One Direction’s next (rumored to be their last) video for “History.”
“I just saw the video last night and, God, it makes you feel emotional,” he said. “When that drops you’re going to see another lease of life for that record.”
