		Hence the presence of Fuller, who, unlike his young clients, spurns publicity, routinely turns down interview requests - this is the first he has given since last summer - and dislikes being photographed.
		He too is wandering about singing Clarkson's praises: "She's a homegrown girl with a big voice but not a big attitude." The primary difference between the Simons is that Fuller would be acutely uncomfortable with the idea of being the subject of the final This is Your Life, as Cowell was last week.
		The 42-year-old Fuller's powers of persuasion are legendary, and have made him one of the handful of pop managers who are as famous as their clients.
