Shirley Bassey slates The X FactorThe songs of Dame Shirley Bassey may feature regularly on 'The X Factor', but the legendary diva herself isn't quite ready to endorse TV talent shows. Speaking to Mandrake at the Fashion for the Brave charity event in Mayfair, the icon admitted that: “It is a totally different business now to the one I entered all those years ago.” However, she went on to add that TV talent shows have: "managed to destroy two entertainment mediums at once – not just music but TV.” When asked if she would ever consider going on 'The X Factor' to be a judge, the 'Diamonds Are Forever' singer replied: "I could never do it. Tell people they are bad and hurt their feelings? That’s not me." You can watch Dame Shirley Bassey performing 'Goldfinger' live at Glastonbury below:
