Outgoing X Factor singer, Austin Drage, has revealed that he feels cheated by Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh who voted him off the show on Saturday night.

The judges are supposed to cast their vote based on who sang their final song best, however both judges chose to save Rachel Hylon as they believed she has more talent than she has displayed so far.

In an interview yesterday, Unreality TV asked Austin if he felt cheated by the judges decision, he replied:

“Yeah, because I don’t think her potential is as much as mine, and I think I’ve showed plenty of potential since the first week. If they’d let it go to deadlock, I think I’d have ended up staying in the competition.

Rachel’s done one song well. I’ve done all my songs well, bar the last one, and that was a bad song on a night when it should have been a really funky song.”

When asked what song he would have like to sing on Saturday night Austin replied:

“I would have chosen Average White Band Let’s Go Round Again. It’s a great song.”
