Sir Paul McCartney to Make 'X Factor' Appearance?
- Posted on Nov 23rd 2009 5:27AM by Julian Marszalek
Though the more cruel and twisted TV viewer may be lamenting the departure from 'The X-Factor' of the double car crash that is Jedward -- that'll be John and Edward to their mum -- news is emerging that former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney is said to be in negotiations to perform on the hugely popular talent show.According to reports in the Daily Mirror, Sir Paul is said to be making a live appearance for a Beatles-themed show on Dec. 13.
An X Factor 'insider' told the tabloid: "The big plan by Simon Cowell is to get Sir Paul for the final, which would be just fantastic.
"Everybody knows The Beatles wrote some of the best songs in history, so it would be a sensational end for the series."
If true then Sir Paul's turn would certainly put a smile of X-Factor supremo Cowell's face. The svengali was reportedly stung by comments made by erstwhile Police frontman Sting who last week branded the show as being little more than a "karaoke contest."

How far back in your family's history does the inbreeding go?
Just because Mr Lennon (the middle class hero) seemed to love making vastly uninformed comments/statements it doesnt mean the millions of pea-brained fans he seems to have have to follow suit does it?

I really hope he doesn't do this. The X Factor is so cheap, and he certainly does not need the money they would ay him for performing on it. Surely he won't lower himself to that level?
They can go ahead and have their Beatles theme or whatever it is they want, but I sincerely hope he will not be on the show. Seeing Paul perform live is such a treat and something I would not want to miss, but the X Factor would just be using him for publicity and viewer ratings since he's such a big name. Ugh.
Don't do it Paul!

the prick who said lennon was the talented one in the beatles...for goodness sake...they were as talented as each other....however...in the end (the love you make is equal to the love you take) it was paul who shone more as lennon became more obscure with his lyrics...paul ended up writing the more memorable songs all the time....im not saying lennon didnt write any memorable ones with or without the beatles...but it was paul who gets most of the credit...like it or lump it..thats the way it is....and if you wanna argue...go listen to yesterday...

What's wrong? Did you get up today?
Paul is SOOO talented!!! Why in the world WOULD he retire??? He still has SOOO much to give! And does he ever give!!! He is also the kindest most gracious person anyone could ever hope to meet!!! He and Linda truly made the perfect couple.
I love Lennon still but life goes on and he, of all people, would want it to.

Each person brought something to the beatles. I will miss the ones that are gone and continue enjoying the ones still here. Rock on

Hold on there, girls.... I have been waiting for more than 40 years for Sir Paul to realize that he wants to sweep me away with him. So stand back, he's all mine!

What happened. McCartney get bored from doing nothing in the music field lately? He doesn't need the money unless his most recent marriage cost him more than the media has disclosed. What's next. Vacuumn sweeper or super glue or hair treatment ads on TV?
