Beyonce Knowles is all set to put her feud with Simon Cowell behind her and perform on next week’s X Factor final.

Simon once claimed that Beyonce was “not sexy” and “not a great singer”, causing her father and manager Matthew Knowles to respond with: “Simon wouldn’t know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face.”

A show source told The Sun: “Beyonce and Cowell can put their differences from years ago to one side. He is way past it.

“Beyonce singing live is something to behold and would just be brilliant.”

The new series of X Factor kicked off on Saturday and Simon Cowell stated that this years series would be the best yet!

Rumours have been floating around that various celebrities would be making an appearance over the next four months of the show, and today we have heard that Sir Elton John and Beyonce Knowles are amongst the stars lined up as judges.

That should make seriously good telly! I imagine that Elton John could be even more cutting than Simon Cowell if he wanted to!
