Simon Cowell Gives X Factor Judge Gary Barlow A Second Chance

The book that Simon Cowell must be regretting to have got involved in claimed that Gary Barlow nearly got sacked last year but it seems Simon Cowell is giving the X Factor judge a second chance to get his act together.

This is great news for Gary Barlow and could be great news for the X Factor show as long as this year’s show allows Gary Barlow to speak freely instead of following a script. On last year’s X Factor show it seemed he was a bit plastic and seemed half of the things he was saying was from a script which made the Take That star seemed very dull and more like a robot than someone who was experienced in the music industry.
