X Factor judge Simon Cowell, has reportedly blasted this weeks X Factor as a disaster. He told ITV2 Xtra Factor host Fearne Cotton:

“I wasn’t in a great mood and I’ll tell you why,” he said. “Disco week has been an absolute disaster. The contestants are better than what I saw. And my frustration was that nobody, including my own acts, performed their best this week.

“Everyone let me down. I’ve seen better performances.”

He confirmed that the planned Motown show was being dropped: “We are changing Motown week to love songs. We would have had two old themes in two weeks and by doing love songs, it means the finalists can give modern performances. The trouble with Motown is it’s so narrow in your choice.

“We’ve got to give them a theme where every one of them can show the best of their capabilities. I think there are two or three in the competition who could sell a lot of records.”
