PAUL MCCARTNEY TALKS "X FACTOR"

In a recent interview with The Irish Sun, Paul McCartney discussed his reasons for appearing on the television series X Factor. "At first," said Paul, "when we talked about going on X Factor, it was a bit of a worry, I must say. It was, like, 'People say we shouldn't do that. They say you are too big for a show like that. It'll ruin your reputation,' and I thought about it. But then I'm always getting told that: 'Don't go to perform in Israel,' or 'You can't do this or that.' Then if someone tells me not to do it, I want to do it more. They said, 'Don't do X Factor' and I said, 'Wait a minute, let's check it out.' I started asking people in the street. They all said, 'Oh, do that, it's great.' I'm a fan of normal people and normal people usually get it right." The episode featuring Paul was viewed by over 20 million people.
