Louis Walsh has said that music mogul Simon Cowell wouldn’t be able to spot a talent as big as Elvis Presley.
Walsh – who was fired and then rehired by Cowell as an X-Factor judge earlier this year – said that Cowell wouldn’t want to take a gamble on someone like Elvis.
“If Elvis had auditioned I'd have put him through because I get it. He has the looks, the voice, the charisma. But I don't think Simon would have put him through. He wouldn't get it,” reports WENN.
Walsh continued: "Not unless it was very obvious - because that's what he likes. Sharon would have loved him. She loves quirky rock and roll."
The news comes after Cowell revealed plans to make a movie inspired by reality TV talent shows.
