Washington, Dec 16 : Sir Elton John has blasted reality show `X Factor', insisting that he would rather lose his genitals than watch it.
The `Rocket Man' is due to perform a concert in London on New Year''s Eve - with the 2008 X Factor winner Alexandra Burke also lined up to appear at the gig.
But he has risked sparking a row with organisers by blasting the TV show, in which contestants battle for a record contract by singing their own versions of classic songs in a weekly knock-out competition, reports Contactmusic.
