It finally happened, after years of poking and prodding, X Factor judge Simon Cowell finally took the stage and showed off his singing chops.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the situation arose after 56-year-old Russ Pouliot took the stage to sing Elvis Presley’s “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.” The sharp-tongued Britt told Pouliot that he “sounded like he was drowning.”
Fellow judge Demi Lovato was quick to come to his defense saying if he had a British accent he would sound just like Cowell. The father-to-be took the stage to sing a few bars of Elvis’ hit, but it didn’t make his fellow judge stop talking, instead, she continued to poke fun at Cowell.
The X Factor saw auditions in both Denver and Long Island. If you missed last night’s auditions you can check out our recap here. Also, be sure to check out Cowell’s rendition of “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” in the video below.
