X Factor Fix!
The X Factor has been accused of playing up to and fixing situations for the cameras.
‘X Factor’ reject Debbie Stevens threw a glass of water over Westlife manager Louis Walsh on Saturday night’s show but insists Sharon Osbourne told her to do it.
Debbie, 18, revealed to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “After my audition went really badly Sharon took me in hand and led me out of the room because she could see I was upset.
“When we got outside I told her I was so angry with Louis for saying I would never be a star I felt like I wanted to throw water over him.
“What they didn’t show on telly was that Sharon told me: ‘You go ahead. Do it! Soak him, but use Simon’s glass because it’s got more water in it’.â€?
This revelation comes hot on the heels of last weeks news that Sharon Osbourne had refilmed the scenes where she learned of a devastating fire in her home. Reality TV? Maybe not!

disapointed with sharon instigating common assault from contestants on her fellow judges.
next year i hope she wont have a handgun in her purse, cos if she does she will be saying to disgruntled contestants
” I’ve got a gun, go in there and shoot louis, etc etc ”

X Factor is the biggest so-called reality TV fix I think this country has ever witnessed. Each year they produce an average ‘pop star’ who records one semi-decent single, one rubbish album and then disapears into the ether. Leona was ok and there’s no denying she has a voice but why was she allowed to release a single on a Wednesday? Or am I missing something in that normally all singles are released on a Monday? This is the only way Leonas single got to number 1 this year, an early release and the show ending days before Xmas. If X Factor finals were staged in November there is no way the single would get into the top 5 let alone make no. 1 by Xmas. Take That were a far better bet for this years Christmas no 1 (hence they has the no. 1 album for Xmas) and I am saddened by the fact that a band with real, genuine talent were pipped to the post at the last minute by a wannabe who no one will remember this time next year. Steve Brookstein anyone? Thought not.

Emily,
WELL SAID!!! couldn’t have put it better myself!!
Why can’t they find someone who sings original material anyway not copies others like loads of other wannabe singers have done before. It’s getting really boring and people will realise one day. Leona WILL fade into the background like all the others. Anyway all the groups etc. who have come second in all these competitions have done so much better, take Liberty X as an example!!
