X Factor: Katie Waissel insists “I’m just a girl, I’m not fake!”
Katie Waissel made an emotional plea to X Factor viewers in her official video diary today.
The 24 year old has had a difficult week. After being placed in the bottom two on Sunday night’s show and forced to compete in the sing off against Belle Amie, Waissel reportedly suffered from debilitating panic attacks which led to the filming of the X Factor charity single being delayed.
Speaking to the show’s official website, Katie hit out at claims that she is engaged in attention seeking behaviour, insisting ‘I’m just a girl.” She went on to beg fans of the show to ignore the rumours and just concentrate on her singing.
She said:
“I’m still only human, I keep saying I’m just a girl. I’m not an actress, I’m not fake and I’ve got no hidden agenda and when I sing, just take it for what it is. I know I’m not the best singer in the world but I have a passion and I really feel like I deserve to be here.”
Speaking about her sing off performance of Etta James’ ‘Trust In Me’, Katie admitted that she thinks the song worked, because she was ‘content’ with it. Does that imply that she wasn’t happy with Cheryl’s previous song choices? She said:
“I saw a quote somewhere saying “Music is where there is harmony,” and I read that to mean that when you’re happy and when you’re content with something that you’re going to sing and you believe in it and you believe the words and the story that’s been written, then it works.
Even though I like to have fun, I want to be taken seriously as well. So I think that when it came to my save me song, it kind of saved my dignity again.”
Katie finished the diary saying:
“I know that this video diary hasn’t been the happiest but I can’t help if I wear my heart on my sleeve.”

katie is dam ugly have you seen her ears shet looks like an elve crossed with a witch she is an absolute drama quuen and a disgrace
I can’t believe all the rude insults being thrown around here. I bet none of you would have the balls to say this to Katie face to face. What a sorry bunch of ingnorant people you are. Love ‘em or not, the contestants are real people with real feelings…
I admit she’s probably gotten the short end of the stick with the media ripping her apart, but it had to start somewhere! and all the diva like antics-panic attacks hasn’t helped her reputation. And she admits it, she’s not the best singer, so bye!
Time to go Hatie
celebritieism is too traumatic..you should step down and follow your own path. you don’t need to be on a celebrity making machine show..write songs and do your thing.
I am American..and everybody hates her over here too. She sucks…get rid of her. She can’t sing and is a ugly rude person. Bye bye loser!
My Gosh, what is wrong with all you people? SHE IS JUST HUMAN. If I was in Katie’s position, i wouldn’t be strong enough to handle all this criticism and I probably would have gone suicidal.
This ugly witch is a fame seeking narcisist. Hope she goes this weekend.
I HATE HER. SO MUCH. SO SO MUCH.
oh ffs, go away already you horrendous woman. you’ve come across as fake, a drama queen and you annoy a lot of people. hope she goes this weekend, bored of seeing someone so undeserving get the limelight, far better contestants who should be getting the press. katie is vile.
Hmm she really *is* a fake. She wants to be Madonna. Madonna is a fake too. She’s not a great singer but the tabloids love her so she will probably be famous because we all love to hate drama queens!
I thought Katie sang very well in the sing off, but I couldn’t bear to watch her desperate antics. Just stop it Katie its really pathetic and annoying, i can honestly say i have never seen such desperation. Mind you, give the girl an Oscar for that performance….. Tears, shaking, nearly fainting, the shaky desperate walk -great stuff!
Silly attention seeker :/
