Tony Bennett slams greed of 'X Factor'

Tony Bennett has slammed The X Factor for being motivated by financial greed at the cost of exploiting young talent.

"I’m a little disturbed that the businessmen are making a fortune, but after the first record, they drop the artist and go with the next," the veteran crooner told The Sun.

"It’s not fair because the artists all have such good potential. They all have the possibility of really becoming good performers if they just had the place they could break into and learn how to do it properly."

Earlier this month, 80-year-old Bennett guested on the singing competition and gave advice to contestants during rehearsals.
