Beyonce Has No Talent ?, AI's Simon Cowell Says I'm Sorry Sasha Fierce

BeyonceWe might have forgotten about Simon Cowell's tongue lashing a few years back but Beyonce probably hasn't -- mainly because she was the subject of the 'talentless' rant.

"I find the whole thing mystifying. She's not sexy, she hasn't got a great body and she's not a great singer," Cowell told Esquire.

According to the Daily Express, Simon had to eat those very words when forced to ask the "I Am...Sasha Fierce" singer to perform on the 'The X-Factor.'

In fact, Simon had at least two people to apologize to as Beyonce's father, Matthew Knowles rang in him in stating "Simon wouldn't know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face."

There is no official confirmation of said apology, however, the UK's Daily Express says 'Sasha Fierce' demanded an apology before 'putting a ring' on that stage.

Knowing Cowell, the same judge who has told numerous contestants to keep their day job or worse on American Idol, DE says Cowell only backed down after producers practically demanded a big star to raise the season's ratings, especially after Britney Spears' unfavorable performance.

Insiders say the only performer with that kind of pulling power was Beyonce'.

A source close to Beyonce even admits: “It’s debatable whether she’d have agreed to the X Factor at all if she didn’t have a CD to promote.


“There’s been bad blood between her entire family and Cowell ever since his ridiculous rant in Esquire. Believe me, it took a lot of apologizing on his part to swing it. At the end of the day, she realized she has a big fan base in Britain. She’s appearing for them, not for Simon Cowell."

There you have it. Simon Cowell apologizing, can we get that on tape ?

  3. JCVEGAS says:

    Is Beyonce referring to Kanye West's d*** in the song EGO? It sure does sound like it. Since when does an ego have physical dimensions? I wonder how JZ feels listening to that song. It seems like Beyonce has lowered her standards.

  4. joshai says:

    Britney or Beyonce both suck. I'm sorry, but they're both commercialized, plain, watered down performers. I find it funny that the same type of people on the 'white' side who like britney (girls, and gay kids) are the same type on the 'black side' (girls, and gay black kids). do a websearch on bgclive if ya don't believe me.

  5. kt says:

    Beyonce' is a beautiful woman who works hard, BUT CAN'T SING VERY WELL. She is probably the MOST OVERATTED artist of our time.

  6. rockstar says:

  8. LuckyStar007 says:

    So let me get this straight...Simon thinks BRITNEY is more talented than Beyonce? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Oh my lord, that's a hoot. I'm no fan of Beyonce but she's got more talent in her pinkie toe than Brit does in her whole body. At least Beyonce knows how to sing, dance, put on a great live performance almost every time, and write. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Simon may know what sells, but he doesn't know s*** about music.

  9. Carlea says:

    For real, Simon. .. I've been saying that for years. She can shake her butt, but all her steps are sooo choragraphed. Her songs are o.k.,but her vocals need some work. I don't know how she's done so well...honestly, take away the pound of makeup, lion's mane of fake hair, lingerie looking costumes...and what do you have? really? what? nothing you'd pay to see, bet that. She is so fake... Beyonce...Sasha...they are both fake...and neither can SANG!

  10. CEERECORDS says:

    beyonce has talent. But i have to agree with simon that beyonce cant sing.
