X Factor: Simon Cowell Protects Dannii Minogue!
I was shocked and surprised last night, when Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne failed to taunt Dannii Minogue about her failing pop career and single flop that was released this week.
However, it all became clear when I read an article in the Sun claiming that Simon Cowell had threatened to cut power to the pairs microphones if they continued to bully Minogue.
A show source told the newspaper: “All week Sharon and Louis have been whispering about how to slip little comments in.”
The insider added: “They’ve been told their mics will be cut if they make a single comment about her pop career.”

Is this a talent show or a gimmicks show?
The best singers are being evicted and people who will never have a chance in today’s pop world are being kept in.
As far as I’m concerned this show is a farce and the only judge who is worthy of the name judge is Louis Walsh
If there had been any justice Nikki would have won the X factor because she has by far the best voice of the downbeats that are left.
Same Difference-what a joke, Leon-out of key most of the time,Rhydian-a continuation of Harry Secombe -about fifty years out of date
The judges are not paid to have digs at the judges but be mentors and judge talent, the trouble is egos and having a fourth judge has spoilt Sharon and Louis ganging up, they need to grow up and do the job they are being overpaid to do.
