Talks are underway to launch Will, the ‘Pop Idol’ champion, in the United States, according to Simon Cowell who looks after the popstar’s profession.

Simon said he thinks Will may have to change his musical focus if he is to snap up the American audiences.

Speaking to the press, Simon said “He will definitely have longevity. I think he will move from the pop world to singing soul. It’s all about having the right songwriters for Will”.

Can’t wait for more pop idols? Well, Simon did not fail to mention that he’s also busy preparing for the next series of Pop Idol. “We’re going to tweak it slightly so that it will be as big a success as the first time round.”
