Nikk Mager has hit out at the X Factor judges who trashed him on Saturday night, claiming that he will be this years Darius Danesh.

I really do admire his spirit, but based on his performance of The Rose during his X Factor audition, he really isn’t as good as he thinks he is.

I mean, he is no Ant or Seb after all Nikk can sing in tune, but he is not fabulous and his voice seemed strained at some of the top notes in the song.

What is interesting though is that Nikk has met Simon Cowell before, and even ate dinner in his house on two occasions. That definitely didn’t come across during Saturday night’s show. In fact Simon asked Cheryl who he was and how she knew him, when he was obviously aware all along.

Nikk is sure he was stitched up by Louis and Simon, and that may be true, but in the end I think they made the right decision. He is nowhere as good as fellow auditionee Austin Drage and would not have made it through to the final stages of the show.
