OZZY OSBOURNE Slams SIMON COWELL For 'Damning People'

May 22, 2007

24dash.com reports that Ozzy Osbourne has challenged sneering judge Simon Cowell of U.K. talent show "X-Factor": "You get up and perform."

Osbourne is furious that Cowell continually slags off kids who take part in the TV show auditions in search of a showbiz break.

Ozzy believes the show "damns" people just for trying their best. "Tell you what, Simon: get up there and show us how it's meant to be done," he stormed in Heat magazine.

The 58-year-old rock legend says he would never join his wife Sharon as a judge on the show because it puts too much pressure on contestants: "I don't like damning people; it is the worst fucking thing I have ever heard."

He adds: "People who put themselves on the 'X-Factor' have got guts; Those kids, they have got a lot of bottle to get up there in front of millions of people. I couldn't do it, and I'm 38 years in the business!"
