Simon Cowell Blasts Elton John

Simon Cowell has spoken out against Sir Elton John for criticising reality talent shows such as 'The X Factor'.

Simon Cowell has blasted Sir Elton John for criticising TV talent shows.

The 'X Factor' boss – who has previously also judged ‘American Idol’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ - accused the 'Rocket Man' singer of being selfish and money-orientated after he accused the shows of being boring and exploiting the artists who take part.

He said: "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."

Simon, 51, also insists he won’t take critics such as Elton seriously until they use their wealth and success to help aspiring musicians in the same way his shows do. more
