Katie Waissel's Grandmother is a Prostitute?
I know it's harsh, and probably tabloid junk but this has got to be my favourite X Factor story this year! I can't help feeling sorry for Katie though. I am still not her biggest fan but I can certainly see how this latest news would bring her right back to square one with the public again. She was excellent during Saturday night's X Factor and for thsi story to come out now must be mortifying.
At the same time though, there is a suppressed giggle inside me. Not because it's funny that Katie Waissel has been embarrassed. It's simply the idea that there is a website in existence called Vintage Vamps, featuring mature ladies in rather risque outfits. Good luck to them, I guess, but....wow.

Goodbye Aiden! #xfactor
I didn't write a recap of tonight's result because the site I write for is having some issues at the moment, so I will just say as much I can muster about tonight's result. I am gutted that Aiden is out of the competition. If audiences want something different, Aiden is the man. I get that in terms of oddities, Katie was probably the lesser of two evils in eyes of the viewers - she is at least fairly easy on the eye and looks like she is having fun. Aiden generally looks drunk or scary - but his voice is stunning, it just needs a touch more control. I desperately hope this isn't the last we hear from him but I fear he is so far from the mainstream he just won't fit :(

Dear X Factor...
...Your 'don't vote Katie out ' rule is starting to become obvious. Dannii is clearly the only judge with ears and backbone. Katie Waissel is NOT interesting, entertaining and clearly not who the public want to see again based on the epic amount of jeering from the crowd and being in the bottom two three times. I admit Treyc probably wouldn't have won but she deserved the chance to stay longer.
Simon Cowell has admitted he enjoys controversy - but he began the X Factor as a TALENT show. Clearly he is happy to go against what he originally believed in for the sake of headlines.
Cheryl Cole totally copped out - though I understand why she didnt want to choose and it wouldnt have changed the result anyway. But even so - she was asked the question and should have answered it.
Louis Walsh called Katie "style over substance" and keeping her on was dumb.
Writing about Katie Waissel is interesting, granted. I don't want to be one of those internet bullies I keep hearing about - but when a single act who isn't ever going to be the next big thing is blatantly allowed to break the rules then continue through the competition after having fluffed her words and sang out of tune, people will be pissed off. Simples. As such, I will still be reporting on her antics - but doing so as impartially as I can manage.
Well, I'll try.
It's not that I dislike her as a person - because we dont even know who she is. But that is where the dislike comes in. That and her singing is average at best when other people - like Gamu - were denied a place in the live shows. Its not so much the feeling that she stole Gamu's place because that could have been blamed on any of the girls. Its simply that she is not good enough, IMO.

Robert Pattinson Backs X Factor Wagner
Robert Pattinson Backs X Factor Wagner
This is by far the funniest celebrity news story I have read in ages! Clearly this is just a simple case of piss taking but I think Robert Pattinson sums up the feelings of many of the X Factor voters who now see the show for the mockery it has become! If this news helps Wagner stay in the competition, it will only become even funnier. :D

Katie Waissel was Always a "Monster"
Katie Waissel Was Always a "Monster"
If you click on the story above, you will find a relatively calm report about the latest Katie Waissel scandal. Outside of that article, I want to say how much I think the X Factor is a complete and utter con.
The stories about whether or not Katie Waissel already had the inside track on the show have been rife - linking to them all with the "evidence" about how she had been on tour with former X Factor runner up Andy Abraham and that she had met Brian Friedman and Sony execs before would take forever.
While I am still completely addicted to the X Factor and am done with being irritated by the outcomes, there seems to be some kind of mass manipulation going on. If Simon Cowell says something is excellent, regardless of what we have heard, for some reason we always believe it. It might be because he is rarely awestruck that when he is we trust his word. In my opinion, that is why Katie Waissel is still in the competition. Let's be honest - she has really only put on one credible vocal through the show so far and that was when she sang Etta James. Her performance of the Jungle Book song was entertaining, sure. But vocally, it sucked. Simon Cowell comparing Katie Waissel to Gwen Stefani is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard. Gwen Stefani can actually sing. She is quirky, yet genuine - at least that is how she comes across.
My plea to the public this week - PLEASE judge on what you hear and not what the judges say. It is our votes that make the difference.

Weekend X Factor roundup!
Well, well, well! Another entertaining X Factor weekend is now over and the results are in! Before I get to that though, here is my X Factor Live Show week Three Roundup. I thought the show itself was actually quite good, though how most of those songs are "guilty pleasures" I have no clue. Many were classics! Cher Lloyd, Rebecca Ferguson, Treyc Cohen, Paige Richardson and Matt Cardle stood out for me by a mile - though there were good performances from pretty much everyone.
Katie Waissel - oh God. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed her performance of her ridiculous song but her singing is not doing it for me. I want to be convinced that she is not just a tabloid junkies dream but it hasn't happened yet. She does seem like a nice girl, but one who tries too hard and that may be the problem. *sigh* I guess we'll have to wait and see what she comes up with next time!
X Factor Week Three Results Show
Meh is all I can say to this really. The wrong people were in the bottom two and that always sucks.
I would also like to pick up on some other news that broke on Saturday. There is/was a Cher Lloyd hate video spreading its way around the internet. While I have not been her biggest fan, I wrote an article tackling the claims, not because I have overall proof that it is all lies, but just to pick up on some of the things that are merely speculation. Take a look! Cher Lloyd Hate Video - Twisted Facts, Rumours and Unfairness
Thats all for now, folks!
