Elton John against X Factor and talent: “I'm the worst, go and play in the pubs rather”

For young artists talent are not an opportunity. “I'm the worst.” Elton John says so in an interview with the English edition of Rolling Stone with Brandi Carlile, with whom he is approached to release the album Who believes in Angels?.

Instead of participating in the talent, says John, the artists who want to emerge should “try to play live. This is how it improves as musicians and as authors. And it doesn't matter if you perform in front of 40 people. Indeed, the more experience you do by playing in empty places and the better it is ».

At the time of the bluesology, says the musician, “he did not come to see anyone, but that experience helped me when I became Elton John, because I had made my bones. Taking the bones is fundamental. The worst thing that can happen to you in this environment are things like X Factor And instant fame on TV, when you have no experience in playing live. They place you on stage, you go there and you can't do it. It's the worst. American Idol It's the worst. Risk. Go playing in the pubs ».
