While rumors circle about what the exact cause of Whitney Houston’s death was, one rumor has been cleared up: was Whitney in the running to be a judge on X-Factor? Simon Cowell was on the Piers Morgan show last night shortly after the news of her death broke and addressed the show rumors. Find out what he said below.
“One of the names we were going to be talking about in [a Monday] meeting as a possible mentor on the new series of ‘X Factor’ was going to be Whitney Houston … Given the choice, I would have liked to have taken her under my wing as well, because she would have been the ultimate, ultimate mentor to any contestant coming on the show … She was undoubtedly the greatest superstars [sic] of all time. One of the greatest voices in our time we’re likely ever to hear.”
