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

We 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 ?

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.
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.
Beyonce' is a beautiful woman who works hard, BUT CAN'T SING VERY WELL. She is probably the MOST OVERATTED artist of our time.
cesar how u gonna say brit got more talent den beyonce i dont kno wat yall b listening 2 n mexico but in da u.s. we kno wat talent is an brit aint got any of dat
SIMON IS JUST A STUPID B***H U KNO HE DOESNT KNO TALENT I NEVER SEE HIM GETTING UP THERE SINGING HES JUST SO F***IN FAKE!!
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.
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!
beyonce has talent. But i have to agree with simon that beyonce cant sing.
Good for Simon. Beyonce hasn't delivered anything quality since her DAngerously In Love album. She fcuked up when she declined to work with The Neptunes for that album.
Besides, she puts out all of these misandric songs condescending on men and claiming that women are strong and independent.
Let's see how long women can remain strong and independent in this recession.
I'm out. '09
i would have NEVER apologized...yo Simon hold on to yo sheeit..i'll toast to that!
Wow! You're acting like you're getting some of Beyonce's millions. Is she your God or something? Get a grip sweetheart. It's only my opinion. Last time I checked we're all entitled to our own opinions...get a grip. It's not that serious. Why don't you enroll yourself in maybe 1-2 english classes before you start making ignorant comments. Ever hear of spell check? Guess not.
YOU ARE A HATER HATER. BEE KEEP MAKING MILLIONS MAKE IT RAIN ON YOUR HATERS!!!!
I think Simon can be a bit brutal when it comes to judging people but I have to agree with him on that Beyonce thing. She can't really sing. What makes her music nice are those catchy beats. As far as the big booty...she wears butt pads guys! And not to sound racist or anything but there are lots of talentless caucasian people who make lots of money. Y can't Beyonce?
SIMON U UGLY LOW LIFE PIECE OF SHIT. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD JUST KICK UR ASS. NOW I KNOW I CAN'T SING BUT IF I WAS ON UR SHOW AND YOU SAID SOMETHING TO ME I WOULD WOOP THE SHIT OUT OF YOU SOOO BAD U WOULD WISH UR LIFE WAS OVER. AND AS FOR BEYONCE' U CAN SING DON'T LET ANYONE TELL U DIFFERENT ESPECIALLY SOMEONE YOU NEVER HEARD SING NEXT TIME TELL HIS DUMB ASS TO SING SOMETHING ( CUS HE IS A HATER)
how the hell can simon say anything about beyonce the prat she is amazing her figure is amazing her voice is amazing and how can he say britney as more tallent she was blaitently mimeing on x facter it wasnt britney at all so he is just a plonker and i dont think he should be alowed on tv coz he talks utter crap
I also agree with Sam & Winder Upper below! It's already bad enough that B. receives hate within her own race, but to have Simon think of Britney as a bigger talent....Please!!!..and what straight man thinks Beyonce is fat with those curves, other than him!!!...With the Paula stalker tragedy, a new judge on the way and now this Beyonce/Britney controversy, American Idol appears to be at its crossroad!!
Samion is crazy . Beyonce is one of the most talented musicain out there how dare him insult her. he want a woman like Britney spears who cant sing , write a fiting song nor dance to be a mentor for the kids on American idol. can u believe that crap. Glad beyonce made him look like a fool.
Definitely not a Beyonce fan but I despise Simon more.
I agree with Sam below! R&B females sell just as many units as Pink and Taylor Swift. Anyway, its funny how Britney continues to have lame stage shows, but she still gets booked as the opener or headliner on TV...but Beyonce who rocks everytime, still has to prove herself as a black entertainer amist the Simon criticism!That's why Kanye threw a fit last year on MTV, because producers knew Britney wasn't ready but gave her higher regards than every other performer plus, Chris Brown was the one who ripped the stage! Hmmm! Do you give top billing to the ones who rock it everytime(African-American talent)....or do you give it to a Britney or a Taylor Swift who you know are questionable live performers!!Thank god for the BET & Soul Train awards!
Beyonce does to have talent.
You are so right, WinderUpper...They are always hating on African American talent...But people fail to realize that to be African American you have to have talent in the first place to even make it in the industry...Beyonce is very talented and for him to even compare Britney is an insult...LOL! Now he eating his words because he had no damn business saying that "lie" in the first place...And for the person who said Beyonce screams...Then why are you reading stories about her....Hater Much...
Beyonce has talent lots of it...her vocal skills may not be on a Jill Scott level but she's way above a britney spears and for the most part she writes alot of her own hits...now as for body please..Beyonce got body and legs and booty and a beautiful face, i aint into all the weave stuff but she's gorgeous none the less..Simon thinks sexy is a chick looking like she smokes crack skinny...now that's gross..Beyonce i love your confidence despite haters keep doin you

BEYONCE"S VOICE IS HORRIBLE its plain screamin no smoke no overdubbing no turner its almost as a girl singing in the bathroom.
this is coming from a guy who touts rank amatuer singers. no conception of true raw talent and artistry. beyonce is the female elvis.
I really cant stand that man he just urkes my nerves to the max he has no right to be telling anyone who cant sing especially when he probaly cant sing hiself!!!!!!!!! uglh!!!!
Simon sure likes to tell people how Beyonce can't sing. He is very bold for saying that crap. My question is this: CAN HE SING? I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF HIS DUMB A$$ CAN BUST A NOTE.
WTF simon lose his marbles saying BEYONCE KNOWLES can't sing SHE CAN SING way better than brittany sears she lip sing
SIMON DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC he puts on a act and makes ppl. think he know what he's talking about well....simon you just been expose b**** you say beyonce can't sing your wrong she can singer better than you whole family put together!!!!!!!!!!!! choke on that
simon is a little b**** for saying beyonce can't sing in the first place he's ass can't sing and don't know talent he should be kicked off american idol that report made me mad s***... and they shouldn't have put that on the internet anyways cause BEYONCE KNOWLES CAN SING HER ASS OFF thank you very much
