'X Factor's Daniel slams 'ignorant' Osbourne

Axed X Factor hopeful Daniel De Bourg has lashed out at Sharon Osbourne, insisting that the judge "doesn't really know much" about the music business.

De Bourg, who was eliminated from the ITV1 singing contest on Saturday, admitted that he has shunned Osbourne's advice since she advised him to perform a dance routine to a downtempo rock ballad.

He told DS: "I take everything that Sharon says with a pinch of salt, because she doesn't really know much about the music industry, especially soulful music.

"After I'd performed Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' at boot camp, she said to me: 'You're a dance teacher. Why don't you dance when you sing?' I was like, 'I just sang 'Chasing Cars'. What the hell? Do you want me to pirouette?' That's why I take everything she says with a pinch of salt."
