BASSEY SLAMS TV TALENT SHOWS
DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY has fired a blistering attack against TV talent shows - insisting talent ranks second to fame for today's celebrities.
DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY
The Welsh singing superstar has no time for reality shows such as American Pop Idol and The X Factor, and is stunned at the lack of 'real' talent in modern pop stars.
She fumes, "Today people just want to get on reality TV shows and make money. Talent doesn't matter anymore.
"Anyone can get on these shows. Tall people, skinny people, fat people - and then someone makes millions out of them and their lives are ruined. I hate it, I really hate it."
