X Factor: What Austin Drage as Been Up To This Week……
Austin Drage - X Factor 2008
X Factor singer, Austin Drage knew he took a big risk with his song last week and is still upset that Cheryl didn’t like the arrangement, but he’s realised he can’t please everyone and would rather take a risk than just be a ”karaoke” singer.
He’s got a big routine this week and has been working closely with Brian on his performance. For Austin being in the competition means he’s finally making his Mum and Dad proud/happy, after years of causing them grief whilst he was at school.
Austin has really grown up in the X Factor house, and is spending less time messing around with Scott and Eoghan and more time concentrating on his performance.
Austin is still the night owl of the house though going to bed much later than anyone else, although the harmonica that was driving everyone mad has been confiscated so he’s no longer keeping the whole house awake each night!

Austin should not of bin voted off the xfactor!!
He is absolutley amazing and gorgeous, i love him.
I hope he gets a record deal or contract as he will be very succesful.
In my opinion Louis Walsh only voted off Scott and Austin so Simon would be down to the same acts as him, he could of made it fair and put it through to deadlock but he didnt. Also Louis was on a t.v show a few weeks back saying how he doesnt like people who try to get the sympathy votes and yet he sat there and but Daniel Evans through and nearly burst into tears even though he has never gave positive comments to Daniel through out the series. Jls are great and might be the best act on the xfactor now, along with Diana, Alexandra, Laura, Eoughan.
i totally agree austin shouldnt of been voted off, he was one of the best singers in that competition.
i absoloutely love austin and i was 100% behind him 2 win.
i think now austin is gone i think jls,diana and laura could definetly win!!
i also love the hero single they did it was so brilliant!!
Austin is an undeniable rare talent and I think if Simon gives him a contract and allows him to do his own thing he will go far. He is the one X factor contestant that I looked forward to seeing week after week, and not only was I never diappointed but I was blown away every time by his passion and raw talent. He was born to do this. I dont know what Louis and Cheryl were talking about when they said 1.He didnt connect with the public and, 2. He didnt sing with emotion. I think he sings every word ike he means it and coped brilliantly with whatever song was thrown at him week after week, unlike others like Rachel, etc. As for him not comnnecting with the public, well the well publicised public uproar and outrage at Austin being voted out speaks for itself!
Austin should at the very least have made it to the top 3. So many people, on this and other sites have said that when they tried to vote in for Austin they couldnt get through and when they finally did then it registered as a vote for someone else! There is definitely something suspicious going on there, Im not saying it is some sort of ITV conspiracy, but perhaps just a computer fault? It has happened before on other voting shows! His performances have been consistently original and phenomenal, proving his talent and his versatility. His performance of Billie-Jean was OUTSTANDING. Better than Chris Cornell and David Cook from American Idol (I have done my research, lol). Everyone I know thought so, and yet Louis ripped him to shreds talking about the arrangement! Clearly Louis doesnt know what he is talking about and it was just a chance for him to have a dig at Simons contestant. Austin also comes across as such a down-to-earth and sweet gentleman. Without a doubt, the most talented male ever to enter any of these competitions. He is also a musician and a songwriter, unlike many other stars who have made it big simply by standing in front of a mic and singing other peoples songs. Check out clips from some of his band’s live gigs on youtube – very soulful. If Simon has any sense he should give Austin a contract. Im sure he will come up with some brilliant songs if given the chance and not cheesy pop songs, but something with more of an edge. Failing that he should be brought back to the programme, and not be forced out because of faulty phone lines, sympathy votes for other contestants by the public, and tactical voting by the judges who see him as a threat! They should seriously get over themselves and their rivalry and realise they are crushing a genuinely gifted young man’s dreams!
Much love to Austin, best of luck in the future, you deserve only good things to come to you and plenty of success. P.S. Saw you in Snatch, loved your Irish accent, was so cute! Sorry we cant vote from the Republic of Ireland but just want you to know IRELAND LOVES YOU BABE!
