Simon Cowell agreed to put his dignity on the
line for a good cause by singing in public.
At a charity benefit in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, billionaire Power Rangers creator Haim Saban
offered to make a $1million donation to the Friends of Israel
Defence Forces if Simon sang the show's theme tune with him.

The 54-year-old British star, whose girlfriend Lauren
Silverman is expecting a baby boy in February, delighted the packed room
of guests after he accepted the challenge.
Midway through his performance of Ron Wasserman's Go Go Power Rangers, Simon jokingly offered to donate
$100,000 of his own money if he was allowed to stop.
Saban then agreed he could stop singing for $250,000.

The music mogul was also recently persuaded to show off his
vocal talents by his fellow talent show judge Kelly Rowland during auditions
for the 'X Factor' in Denver, Colorado, after being urged to show off his
skills after he was less than impressed with one wannabe's attempt at singing
1940s classic 'Fools Rush In'.
Simon, who had previously vowed to never sing in public,
obliged and was praised by judges Paulina Rubio and Demi Lovato, who said his
rendition was "charming".
Kelly added: 'I knew that voice was always there.'
