TV personality Sharon Osbourne feels there has had enough of small screen sing-offs.
The original 'X Factor' judge said she cannot even watch the show anymore because she is sick of seeing desperate wannabes try to convince celebrities that they really have talent, reported Contactmusic.
"If one more person stands in front of me and sings... I tell you, I've had it with people singing at me and I've had it watching people singing on Tv...
"And they've all got something wrong - they've either got one lung, one kidney... They've all got somebody sick in hospital and it's like, 'Oh Lord, just shut up and sing!' But then, when they sing, it's like, 'Please stop it, I can't take it anymore'," she said.
Osbourne, 61, singles out revolving chair show 'The Voice' as the worst of the singing shows on TV, insisting it's not enough for modern stars just to be able to sing well.
"They're (producers) making it like it's just the voice, everything that matters is the voice. Well, hold on here, that's great when you're ugly and you're, like 9,000 pounds. What the hell are we gonna do with you?
"I'm seeing some guy that looks like Meat Loaf's offspring throwing himself around onstage on some bloody talent show and everybody's going, 'You rock, you rock!' It's like, 'Oh, shut up love, send him home. Send him to a bar in Vegas.
