Andrew Lloyd Webber doesn’t agree with how Simon Cowell treats his contestants on The X Factor. He has blasted Cowell for “torturing” contestants.
The world famous composer blasted Simon Cowell for not developing contestants into artists and doesn’t feel as though he looks after them, he even refers to him as “tricking” participants on the show.
“He doesn’t work with the artists like I do. I’m here to get the best out of everybody,”
“All my acts call me Andrew, and they all call my mobile when they need help. There will be no tricks on this show. Over my dead body.”
Andrew has a new show to find the next act to represent Britain in The Eurovision Song Contest called Your Country Needs You.
“The mantra of the show is that we nurture, we don’t torture.”
“We have a live band and we have performers who will deliver live to the best of their ability. We don’t have off-stage backing singers who come in and maybe trace harmonies.”
