The X Factor delivered more than its usual dose of diva when Whitney Houston took to the stage to belt out “Million Dollar Bill” recently. Her performance suffered quite a few snafus…it’s a wonder she was even able to get through it.
Watch the video above to see what you think. Is there any chance FOX will book her for American Idol 9?

Simon Cowell Blown Away by X-Factor Auditioner
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Gossip

Who’s got the tuneful chops to get the biggest compliment notoriously cruel Simon Cowell has ever uttered? It certainly didn’t happen on American Idol, where the judge is often put-out and aggravated during audition rounds. On a recent episode of the UK version of the show, The X-Factor, Cowell offered the most praise he’s ever given on TV.
“That was single-handedly the best first audition I have ever heard,” the judge told Danyl Johnson, 27. The singer stepped out on the stage to give a rollicking rendition of “With a Little Help from My Friends,” impressing panel and audience members alike.
It was so good, in fact, that Cowell was actually moved into giving a standing ovation. “He could be one of the best contestants we’ve ever had,” Cowell said of Johnson.
You can currently watch the video of Johnson’s audition on YouTube.

Is Simon Cowell Nearing His American Idol Exit?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol
Although many out there would be perfectly happy with one job, Simon Cowell has fronting at least three for some time now. But is this something the 49-year-old expects he can do indefinitely?
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Simon said it might not be realistically possible to maintain his work schedule on American Idol and his two UK programs. “It takes longer and longer to make these shows because you have to put more into them, and I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows a year, with the record label and the TV production company,” he explained.
But is Cowell seriously contemplating change (he does wear the same shirt every week), or is he just gearing up for another contract negotiation? “Most people do one show a year and I do three and they involve a lot of travelling. One may have to go. I don’t know which one. That is the problem, I like all of them. I can’t imagine not doing Britain’s Got Talent and I can’t imagine not doing X Factor. But I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end,” the judge hinted.
And while constant traveling might seem tiresome to some (he is known to take four transatlantic flights a week during the summer), Simon fully recognizes what he has. “I don’t want to come over as whiney because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs,” he clarified.
