X Factor judge Dannii Minogue says that she has finally worked out why her acts keep getting voted off the show. She thinks that her girls are doomed, because they aren’t interesting enough.

Dannii told The Sun:

“Maybe it’s not enough to be nice and beautiful and sing well and be hard-working and turn up and not cause any problems.

“Maybe you’re meant to cause a lot of problems and controversy and get the headlines.” She said she had blamed herself for Sunday’s night’s shock result.

“The first thing was that I was just disappointed in myself – what didn’t I show about Lucie which left her in a position where she hadn’t got enough votes?

“I was angry with myself because I hadn’t done the job well enough. That performance and the one before – I felt she’d really arrived, but it was too late.”

Dannii also revealed that Simon Cowell is standing by his decision to save John and Edward Grimes on last week’s show.

She said: “I spoke to him yesterday and he says that it was a decision that he made in the heat of the moment and if he ends up with Jedward for the recording act then that’s what he ends up with!

“But he still stands by his decision and I’ve just got to go out there and fight harder.”

She added: “I would never have done what he did but I guess at the time you make a decision and you have to live by that.

“And he certainly is living by it this week – he’s finding it a bit uncomfortable. But I would say to everybody in country now, ‘Don’t get angry, get voting!’”
