During the first Pop Idol a couple of years back they were debating Rik waller (who disappeared without trace), and Pete Waterman was trying to say he shouldn't be a Pop Idol. He said "if I brought Meat Loaf to you, you wouldn't sign him up" and Simon Fuller turned round and said "yeah, but someone did sign him up and look at him now!"
So the people in the know appreciate him!
