Elton slams X Factor
Tuesday, February 9 2016 |
Ben Haenow got the chop from Simon Cowell’s record label – and Elton John reckons the problem with The X Factor winners is that the show doesn’t nourish their live performance skills.
Elton , of course, has no such troubles, with a glittering career that spans the decades. He tells 3am: “The problem with X Factor is you are just a TV product and you have no real experience of singing live. Leona Lewis was the only one really that cracked it live,” he says, adding that One Direction and Little Mix “are very good, obviously”.
Elton was speaking after turning in a brilliant three-night stint in Paris at the Olympia theatre over the weekend. The audience were wowed as he seamlessly wove tracks from his new album, Wonderful Crazy Night, with his back catalogue of hits including Your Song, Tiny Dancer and I’m Still Standing.
