A while ago you may recall that Elton John decided to take one almighty flair of the nostrils at TV talent shows, particularly X Factor, American Idol and Britain?s Got Talent. Basically anything fronted or created by Simon Cowell then.
In an interview Elts called the shows ?boring? and ?brain crippling? and he criticised them for quashing upcoming independent talent. He also said he?d rather have his ?c*** bitten off by an Alsatian than watch the X Factor?.
Well last night Cowell appeared on Piers Morgan?s show in the US and he decided to hit back some of Elton?s criticisms of his show.
?Well, look. This is somebody who charges what, a million dollars a private gig? Two million dollars, you know? I don?t know whether he?s concerned about himself ? maybe he is? said Simon.
?But they always bleat on that we?re not giving other people a chance. And I always want to say to them, ?I tell you what, you just made a million dollars off your last private gig. Go and give it to a bunch of young musicians you care about, put them in the studio. Go and nurture them. Go and spend some time looking after them. Then I?ll buy your argument. They?re only worried about themselves."
He has kind of got a point there ? although we don?t like to admit it?
