Lady Gaga is backing Misha B to win this year’s X Factor series, she has revealed.

The ‘Marry The Night’ hitmaker appeared on the ITV show last weekend, performing her latest single and hugging desperate wannabe Kitty brucknell when she was later eliminated.

In an interview for Alan Carr’s Chatty Man, the pop queen revealed that she thinks Kelly Rowland’s act Misha B should win, explaining:

“She has a beautiful voice.”

Gaga added:

“Everyone has a different contribution to the music industry so it will be interesting to see how they do.”

Misha is currently the bookies favourite to leave the X Factor this weekend, but Kelly is trying to change all that and before Bryan’s performance tomorrow, we will be shown footage of her and Misha crying together over their estranged parents. We imagine that she’s hoping to capture some sympathy votes for the Mancunian singer.

Lady Gaga also explained why she felt the need to comfort impersonator Kitty Bricknell on stage last weekend, and said that she empathised with the hopeful, because she has suffered ‘rejection’ so many times herself. She added:

“When she heard she was voted out, I felt really bad and terrible because I know how rejection feels in this business.”

However, while it has been claimed that the star offered to collaborate with Kitty, when asked about this on the Channel 4 show, a confused Gaga replied: “I haven’t duetted with anyone.”
