Sharon Osbourne slams Simon Cowell and his fake talent shows in x-rated fiery rant

Sharon Osbourne Accuses Simon Cowell’s Talent Shows of Being “Dated”

Reality television personality Sharon Osbourne has voiced strong criticism against Simon Cowell’s talent competition programs, branding them as “dated.” The 72-year-old, known for her appearances on reality TV, collaborated with the music executive on various projects between 2004 and 2017, including The X Factor and a brief stint on America’s Got Talent.

Their professional relationship reportedly deteriorated in 2019 following Osbourne’s claim that Cowell dismissed her from The X Factor’s judging panel due to her age. Despite Cowell’s subsequent attempts to reconcile, he publicly stated to The Mirror at the time that he would always consider her “a good friend.”

Osbourne’s Critique of Cowell’s Talent Show Format

Osbourne has now openly shared her opinions on Cowell’s extensive portfolio of talent shows. In a recent interview with Music Week, she urged Cowell to “stop with the pantomime” evident in popular programs like Britain’s Got Talent.

She stated, “It’s formulaic, it’s for TV, it’s not ‘real’. The manufactured drama becomes tiresome. It’s predictable. Take America’s Got Talent, for example – everyone knows who’s performing, contestants are prepped beforehand. It’s like, ‘Enough with the fake drama and staged tears.’ If the shows were authentic, they would be far superior. The premise is brilliant, but it needs to be genuine, organic, and less like a staged performance. It feels very behind the times.”

Osbourne further expressed her longstanding aversion to boybands, stating, “I have never appreciated boybands, considering their artistic merit and output. I dislike the concept because it’s so manufactured.”

Simon Cowell’s Vision for Talent Shows

Although The X Factor concluded in December 2018, Cowell has expressed optimism about the continued success of Britain’s Got Talent for years to come. Speaking in April of the previous year to BANG Showbiz and other media outlets, he reflected on the show’s longevity: “Initially, I thought, ‘If we achieve three or four years with this, it would be incredible.’ Then, reaching ten years felt like a major milestone.”

Global Appeal and “Viral Moments”

Cowell elaborated on the show’s enduring appeal, stating, “I believe the global participation, with contestants from all over the world, contributes significantly. Beyond winning the competition, the opportunity for a viral moment that can transform lives overnight is a powerful motivator.”

He concluded, “This is why I anticipate people returning year after year, striving to improve and compete. The standard of acts is rising, and the show’s inclusive nature, welcoming participants of all ages, suggests it has a long and prosperous future.”
