Noel Gallagher has slated reality show The X Factor for failing to offer its contestants any career longevity in a new interview with the Radio Times. “If somebody is dangling this carrot of 'fame and fortune' in front of a checkout girl from Barnsley who can sing like Britney Spears then they're going to go for it, right, because they live in an a***hole,” the guitarist said. “No disrespect to Barnsley. You spend a year slogging around the country and then what? You can't go back to Barnsley and be a checkout girl cos that would look bad. So you end up either trying to be an actress or trying to sustain your profile by going on celebrity shows.” The Oasis mainman then turned his attention to judge Minogue. “You've got someone like Dannii Minogue telling you you're really talented - and if there's one person in the room who wouldn't know talent if it kicked them in the a*** it's Dannii Minogue!"
