Simon Cowell Bans 5 Songs From The X-Factor

News

During a conference call to promote X-Factor before its debut on September 21, Simon Cowell revealed a list of songs that should never be sung during auditions again.  The lucky group includes Jason Mraz, The Righteous Brothers, R. Kelly, Etta James and John Legend.  The lesson appears to be that even people with actual talent aren’t immune to Simon’s criticisms either.
