Cowell bans songs from American Idol

X Factor / ITV

Simon Cowell has said that he is so sick of hearing some songs that he has banned them.

Apparently the recording industry mogul is so sick of hearing particular songs sung over and over again by American Idol contestants that he has taken steps to get them banned. He has even said that he feels like he would throw up his own intestines if he heard particular songs again.

He said: "We've banned certain songs. Falling, Alicia Keys. I never want to hear that song again in my life. I cannot stand it. I'm allergic to it.

"And I Believe I Can Fly, R Kelly."
