Simon Cowell today paid tribute to Whitney Houston and said the warning signs that she “still had problems” came after the singer made an erratic appearance on The X Factor in 2009.

Despite battling her personal demons, the Syco boss, 52, did reveal she was to be considered for a mentor role on the US version of the reality show – with discussion meetings to commence tomorrow.

He also alluded to iconic stars Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, saying the tragic passing of Whitney was simply “horrible”.

Pretty sure that Mr Cowell doesn’t really need my advice but gonna give it anyway….

62 year old Larry, is a world idol already, the air time his song has already had is causing such a stir.

My first Limerick.

Danny sees his TV…he sees it…

With a voice so rich and true, bringing an ovation with her brilliant debut….

Criticizing critics.
