Ashley McKenzie Could Be Kicked Off X Factor 2006!
X Factor contestant Ashley McKenzie could be kicked off the show after a having a furious bust-up with mentor Simon Cowell.
The former model reportedly lost his temper with Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell, over the songs he was given to sing for tomorrow nights show.
The outburst was said to be so heated that Simon Cowell personal bodyguards had to step in and calm things down.
An eye witness said: “We couldn’t believe what was happening. Ashley was fuming.”
The source added: “Ashley’s got some nerve – actually daring to question Simon Cowell, who has been behind so many huge acts. He should have just shut up.”

Is simon only nasty cos he’s got big burly bodyguards to protect him ?
Because we all could say nasty things if we then ran behind a six foot four muscles man’s back.

Hairy scary? That just about sums Ashley up.
Imagine him without the hair – still a star?
He looks a right Mary to me.
Sings like one, too!
Ashley cant sing. Just a guy with pretty good PR, much like squirrels who in my opinion he resembles.
I loovvvvvvve Ashley because he has got the great style and has the X factor. My vote definetly for him

I’ve heard that Ashley is gay is this true?
WE LOVE ASHLEY LOUIS YOUR SOOO WRONG!!!
I felt sad for Ashley, It was hard for Louis, and Ashley had a very complicated song to sing,however, ASHLEY was virtually sacrificed by SIMON who has been a shocking mentor to Ashley,Simon only wants Leona to win and he left because he knew he had ruined and stifled Ashley’s talent all these weeks with his rediculous themed weeks idea and burdening already anxious acts with songs they’d NEVER choose to sing themselves in a million years,ASHLEY has gone because of SIMON’S shocking mentoring and no other reason because Ashley is very talented but hasnt been ALLOWED by SIMON to shine,SHAYNE WARD wouldnt have won last year if these silly themed weeks had been done then.ROD,Newcastle.

Hi
I rarely watch TV, the only two shows i sit down to watch every week currently is X-factor and Vincent. The rest of my time is spent programming computers.
With my friendly introduction out of the way… here is my opinion ( please note my intention is not to offend, and this is just my own opinion.)
Before programming computer games, i had 8+ years of actual experience of playing in a male semi-pro duo as a keyboard player/backing vocalist at pubs/clubs/hotels and holiday camps.
Now…
We ( family, wife and friends )noticed that something very suspect was going on with Ashley and Cowell a few weeks ago( even at bootcamp Cowell was making excuses for him, even when Ashly was showing how unprofessional and crap he was then, compared to the quality of the rest in that group / camp).
IMO Ashley is nothing special, maybe Cowel fancies him as he rent boy but.. nothing i can see ( nothing that warrants his cockey unlikeable attitude. He isn’t even a good singer, he sounds like a lesbian opera singer that has had too much to drink. He cannot sing very well at all,that is when he DOES actually remember the words
He doesn’t sing, he shouts, it’s not even in tune half the time, and has no passion or conviction to any of the songs iv’e seen him so called perform.
He is in now way ( not even close )near the same league as Leona, Ben, or Robert is in ( now, Leona.. that is someone with STAR quality and vocal talent Simon
Oh sorry…whoops! Ash is more commercial even though he can’t bloody well sing! Makes me wish i was back in the 80’s, where the music industry wasn’t so controlled by idiots like you making decisions for real talent, and it was about talent and not JUST making money.
IMO he does NOT have any kind of star quality at all.
What your seeing folks, is the X-Factor coming to an end i think. The show is starting to feel like it’s a little fixed
After last weeks performance by Cowell (who acted like a little girl that had just been told off), i honestly doubt i would phone up and vote again, as i am starting to the think the show is fixed.
If anyone here recorded saturday’s show, please watch it again and you might see what me, my wife, friends and family who were all watching saw ( play it back a few times at the time just before, during and after Lewie made his decision).
Cowell basiclly ordered Lewie( not in so many words ) after he said i’m sending home Robert,to keep Ash in.
Basiclly saying to Lewie… “If you want to be a judge on my show next year, you will keep my golden boy in, and send home Rob, even though Rob is better than Ash”.
Lewie did the right thing and sent home the guy with the cockey attitude and bad hair style
If you pay carefull attention, you’ll also see parts where even the lovely Kate,and other judge Sharon look worried and uncomfortable about their jobs for challenging Simon, or speaking their minds.
… Just watch those parts again, and after to see what i’m talking about.
To cut this short, i HAD respect for Simon Cowell with the other shows, as i always thought he was an honest guy… and thought of Lewie as the clown.. It’s obvious that Simon has a personal/financial interest in Ashley and is using the competition to get there, i now think of Simon as the clown, and have more respect for Lewie.
Of course, it’s about money to all them, but at least Lewie had the gut’s to be his own man.
Personally, i think if there is a next years show, the other Simon, i.e the original Pop Star’s creator(that Cowell had the court case with for nicking his ideas for the X-Factor)should talk to ITV and producers about getting rid of cowell and bring back a judge that people can respect, such as Pete Waterman.
I think Lewie hit the nail on the head when he said the public is getting bored with him. The way he acted after Lewie sent Ashley home on Saturday, was as if ash was his boyfriend … JUST WATCH IT BACK GUYS!! LOL iv’e always thought Cowell was a bit of a mincer, hehe i know for a face he is really very short and wears shoes that have custom high built heels, to make him look taller, hence all the jokes by Ben Shepard, Sharon and Lewie
Anyway, can someone at ITV either have a good talk to Cowell or just bring back Pete Waterman for the next show. Because again IMO the show is starting to look like the FIX-Factor lately from where i’m watching.
Anyway, i am really routing for Leona, we all think she is a real star, Ben is great too and very talented, and Robert has a fantastic voice full of soul, and a great , likeable personality. The other guy’s left in the competion are talented too, though Leona, Ben and Robert SHOULD IMO( notice i say *should* be the three finals).
As said, my respect for Cowell has gone now after Saturday, he has started to talk crap, and try to convince people watching at home that crap is good just because he has a commerciall interest in Ashley… probably long before the show actually went to the live shows…
take care,
GP.
Totally agree with GP, i can’t really get my head around this Ash thing. I don’t think he has a great voice, i think its quite weird and out of tune. Robert to me is so much better. I lost respect for Simon on Saturday too, I thought it was ridiculous the way he acted. Louis was absolutely right and he was very dignified too. I think he is very honest – Simon seems to be a control freak. Well done Louis. I don’t even think Ash should have been in the final, he really can’t sing very well!!
OMGG! ASHLEYS TOO BUFF.. U NOO ABOUT CROYTOWN HEHE! CNT BELIEVE WAT LOUIS DID HES A NEEK .. NAA JUS JOKING WELL ASHLEY YOUR 2 BUFF AND GOT EVERYTHINK GOIN FOW U X
Everyone is entitled to their opinion GP and mine is that Ashley did have the X Factor. It’s not just a good voice – although his is – it’s about that little extra. Sparkle, pazaz, call it what you want but he has it in bucket loads. That will be the reason why Simon wanted him to stay, not because he is a ‘mincer’ in your words (rather offensive actually)
Kind Regards
Lu x
p.s learn how to spell Louis if you have so much respect for him.
wooooooooooooooo
ashleys wel hot!!!
Louis is a weasel…..
He is revolting to watch & the only reason he voted off Ashley was to get at Simon & to kiss Sharon’s arse…
I personally couldn’t choose b/wn Robert & Ashley..but as soon as we saw it was Simon v Sharon’s contestant leaving, u just knew that Loius would kick off Simon’s
& will the whole of Scotland pls stop voting for the McDonald bro’s……I mean are they really gonna buy the lads cd’s if they won….me thinks not… the judges refer to them as ‘nice’….& another word for nice is ‘bland’
Agree with you entirely GP, I was just saying exactly the same thing to my partner.
Did you notice the look Simon Cowel had? I felt that Simon was too emotionally involved with Ashley. Was it the money Ashley would make for him?? or just that Ashley was kicked out of the contest? it is anyones guess. But I did think that Simon Cowel was acting very strange and yes I am beginning to think the contest might be rigged.
Surely the judges are not supposed to be biased otherwise how can they be judges??
Yet Simon was clearly out of order telling Louis to keep Ashley. He was also out of order when he said before boot camp, that he had made a mistake and requested that Ray be brought back. Ray was found in emotional bits, Ray was beside himself, and that lovely personality of his had disapeared. Sure Ray cheered up but he must have been on an emotional roller coaster!
I didn’t like the way he treated Ray, it seemed that he was toying with his feelings. Simon Cowel has a duty of care to his contestants.
Niether could I understand Ashley’s diction, and was he using sign language when he was singing? I wonder if Ashley has a hearing loss? do play it back. Ashley has personality, he is original in his delivery, attractive personality, but no talent in singing. His breathing is weak and he needs to strengthen his vocal range.
Perhaps he would be a better actor than singer?
Robert has a beautiful voice. My partner cannot stand the X Factor, however when Robert came on my partner stopped in his tracks and said ‘I’d vote for him’ We think he is great and what a performer. I hope that heaven smiles on that man and gives Simon Cowel a reality check.
Ben looks like the milk man, and nothing like a ‘rocker’ no charisma or magnetism. And yes, if he is so good then why couldn’t he sing with the swing band?? they broke their own rules and he was let off, because it would be too difficult for him?? and they think he is good??? I think his voice is over the top and he will do himself an injury should he continue in that way. He is apparently tipped to win. I hope not.
I do like Eaton Road and would like to hear Anthony sing more.
I do think that the X tra Factor has lost it and yes it is on its way out.
I will not be voting anymore, cos Simon Cowel has enough money he doesn’t need mine. I have lost confidence in the whole set up. They should be careful because it could be seen that if they change the rules of judging with seeming impunity, then it might be deemed that the X Factor is taking the publics money by deception!!! bet they hadn’t thought of that…….Murrymint
Just read comments.Lifetime’s experience!Small wonder world is in such a mess!
FX-factor.Can anyone tell me why it’s cool/sane not to be able to spell?The point?If you want to speak in another language, get your messed-up heads together and learn one!At least try to get a life!
Can’t believe anyone over 6 year’s of age can be so sad+ naive about the commercial aspects of the X-factor.Wake up!The game is the same for Sharon/Louis/Simon.All is never what it seems you ‘eejits’and the psychology behind all the huffs-puffs and dramas are contrived to influence the herd response and to produce the gabbling..Couldn’t call it discussion.
The point is it showcases some talent.Cowell’s comments are sanity and there’s a LOT of great talent out there that will never make the Xfactor or any such like.
There’s even more rubbish to excite the dumb-and dumber, who have neither the intelligence nor talent to even stir their lazy selves to attempt to join the world of the living and communicate anything beyond sad, infantile gobbledegook that would disgrace even a remotely trained parrot.Wake up,look and listen and focus on how you are failing.It is not smart, not productive.Are you all really SO pathetic.Respect costs zilch.Give yourself some!
ASHLEY failed due to SIMONS shocking mentoring,Simon has ruined Ashkleys chance with rediculous songs in these silly themed weeks, SIMON has turned into a professional bully to any who disagree with him or who he doesnt care for. His behaviour was shocking on Saturday but the main reason for it was he knows only too well HE has ruined Ashleys hopes and also SIMON hshowed his true unsavoury colours on S aturday too. he has no credibility left.He is also an atrocious mentor, its time he qiuit X factor and allowed good manners and decency in from someone else.ROD,Newcastle
Omg!! I No, Cant Believe Hes Gone!! He Was Wkdness!
Do Any Of Yoo No If He Has A Record Deal? Cuz He Must Get 1!!!
BET ASHLEY IS OVER THE MOON HE IS OUT IF SIMON REALLY IS GOING TO HAVE A BARRY MANILOW THEMED WEEK. Ashley would have hated that.SIMON has lost it totally as even he slams BARRY MANILOW. Hypocritical and these hated theme weeks just go on and on.ROD,Newcastle
