Osbourne Slams The X Factor
11/17/05
Rocker Ozzy Osbourne has slammed British TV talent show The X Factor
for "murdering music" - despite his fact his wife Sharon is a
judge on the program.
The rock matriarch and music moguls Simon
Cowell and Louis Walsh judge and mentor talented young hopefuls, but
Ozzy insists they are wasting their time and killing the UK music scene in
the process.
He says, "They never go anywhere. Look at that Steve (Brookstein)
from last year. I think he's back doing the pub circuit.
"X Factor is one big theatre, it's turning music into WWF (World
Wrestling Federation).
"It's about killing music to make light entertainment. It should
be about music and talent but it's not.
"It's all fine and dandy, I'm all for it if they enjoy it. But
it's got to have some effect on them if they end up not pursuing a musical
career and going back to the same milkman job or window cleaning
job."
