X Factor judge, and producer, Simon Cowell isn’t very happy this week. He has been pretty vocal lately about NBC’s decision to run a 3-night season premiere of its hit singing competition The Voice, after Simon says they agreed to let X Factor have Wednesday and Thursday. The Voice aired last night, again tonight, and will tomorrow night. Simon believes that NBC is afraid of losing viewers to X Factor after fans watch the first episode.

In an interview on the Ellen Show, Simon actually boos the Voice and says how he really feels. Watch the interview below and let us know what you think is the better show: The Voice, which features Blake Shelton, or X Factor?

VIDEO: Taylor Swift And Zac Efron Sing To Ellen

Taylor Swift may be country music’s super-star solo act, but if she ever wants to do a due, she may have found herself a suitable singer.

Taylor joined “The Lorax” co-star Zac Efron on today’s Ellen DeGeneres Show.  Naturally, the two were there to talk about their movie, but where there’s Taylor, there are tunes.  In this case, Swift and Efron (who did plenty of singing in Disney’s “High School Musical” movies) sang a special serenade for Ellen.

Was the song improvised?  Probably not.  Is it funny?  Absolutely!
