Brian Friedman, creative director of ITV’s The X Factor has slammed judge Louis Walsh for being inconsistent with his acts and for choosing rubbish songs!
Friedman, who left his judges role to become the show’s creative director, said: “Daniel was set to go when Louis made him change.
“And to tell Same Difference he doesn’t like them because they are too cheesy and then make Daniel sing Build Me Up Buttercup; it’s a little inconsistent for my liking.”
It seems as though noone’s a big Louis fan this week. He offered up Daniel like a sacrificial lamb, by choosing that song he knew he would leave, but Louis was not concerned, as long as Niki survived!

X Factor boss man Simon Cowell is set to stir things up on this weeks show by getting rid of two acts instead of one.
A show insider said: “It’s really going to put the cat among the pigeons.
“It’s a bold move to do it so early in the series but Simon felt the gang needed a shock to make them work even harder. There will certainly be a lot more tension now.”

Head judge on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing TV show, Len Goodman has revealed his rage at the British public for placing Gabby Logan in the bottom two in last night’s show.
Speaking on BBC Two’s Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two programme Len stated:
“I’d like to say how sorry how sad I am that Gabby and James have had to come out of this competition,” he told show host Claudia Winkleman. “The real villains of this are the viewers. I was against the judges voting somebody out at the end. I liked the other method… especially now.”
“I really didn’t want to be put into that position,” he said of having to choose between two competent dancers in the bottom two. “I think it was a disgrace and I think the public… well, words fail me. Continue reading ‘Len Goodman Angry With Strictly Viewers‘ »

BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing has beat ITV’s X Factor in the television ratings for the second week running.
The BBC One reality show drew 7.9 million and 37 per cent of the TV audience, while The X Factor drew 7.1 million viewers, according to mediaguardian.co.uk figures.
Is the X factor running out of steam? Are people fed up with the judges massive egos and childlike antics? It would certainly appear that way!

All the couples danced either the Samba or the American Smooth, but once again one of those couples had to leave.
It was Gabby Logan and Penny Lancaster Stewart who found themselves in the bottom two competing in the dance off.
Of Gabby’s performance the judges said:
Len: “More bounce action needed… but by and large you did that Volta a little bit skippy, I thought you did a good job of a difficult dance ” Score: 8. Continue reading ‘Gabby Logan Leaves Strictly Come Dancing‘ »
