Robert Pattinson turned down record deal with Simon Cowell

Robert Pattinson is no stranger to the microphone. As a matter of fact, he sounds pretty good! According to him, however, he thinks his music is depressing.

He was said to have turned down a record deal with Simon Cowell because his music is “too depressing” and not too many people would like it.

He said, “I love Simon, I think he is a great personality and I think his shows are entertaining. He is a clever guy and he created artists that he knows the public will like, that’s why I don’t think he could ever launch my music career. I am selfish with my music. I get my guitar and I play what I like, but the problem is I don’t think many other people would like it.”

He also revealed that he believes people would only appreciate his music when he’s dead. He added, “I am sure I’ll be one of those artists that people don’t pay any attention to while I’m alive, and when I am dead people will go, ‘Yeah man, that was a work of art.’”

Do you think he should try to launch a music career?

    I think Rob has a heart breaking voice. The little bit of his music (which I may or may not be wearing out on my iPod..) that’s out there is great. It has nothing to do with him being the “it” boy right now or the whole Twilight thing. Talent is talent. He seems to be the exception in young Hollywood. I’d be willing to bet beneath the awkward, silly personality you see in the media, he’s one of those people with an old soul. I think he was right not to venture into a record deal with Simon Cowell. Nothing against him personally, but the industry is too busy “gearing” artists toward something “marketable”. It’s less and less about the actual art of the music. Even if Rob never pursues a musical career-which I can totally see why he’d be hesitant to do it now, what with all the screaming fan girls and ridiculous overexposure of late-he still kicks ass.
    P.S.-I like how he says he’s selfish with his music. Can you imagine what would come of it if he tried to do the music career thing now?? Madness.
