ELTON JOHN LASHES OUT AT THE X FACTOR
Elton John is lashing out at the British television talent show The X Factor, insisting he would rather lose his genitals than watch it. The rock icon is due to perform a concert in London England on New Year’s Eve, with the 2008 X Factor winner Alexandra Burke also lined up to appear at the event. But he has risked angering the organizers by blasting the show, in which contestants battle for a record contract by singing their own versions of classic songs in a weekly knock-out competition. During a show at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday, John said he would rather have his "c**k bitten off by an Alsatian (dog)" than watch the show, adding: "My balls too." And it’s not the first time the singer has slammed the program. . In 2006, he told a journalist: "The X Factor is a cruise ship show. I’ve got nothing against the people who go on - good luck to them. But I hate how they’re treated."
