the x-factor

[odm]

Same old story is,nt it? Though I do feel sorry for this woman and what happened to her dad etc, it would be in my opinion even MORE of a reason to be a mum to her little boy who she claims she could not settle down and be a mum to as she was always career driven. Well if she was so career driven why have a baby in the first place? I get fed up with these mothers who think the limelight is more important then their offspring. Not everyone rushes off to stick their face on the tv or magazines just because they think they have a bit of talent..and these women should be taking care of their children instead of running off in the night to seek their own fortune.

Now that the x factor 'dream' if thats what you want to call it has died down for Miss Kerry, you will see that she wants to go back to her home and 'be the mother' she should be for her child. I have no sympathy for this woman. I am a hard nosed biatch. I must be because I believe that if Kerry had won the x-factor she would have handed her kid over to anyone who would care to look after it in her absense while she propped herself up for any camera that wants to flash its bulb at her. I am very disappointed with people who think FAME is everything..they seem to lose sight of their senses in a very big way and even trade their families for a chance at the bigtime..Kerry now wants her old relationship back and her child. My advice to her is GET REAL and thank yourself for what you have in your own back yard..the grass will always be greener on the other side, but beware, your lawnmower may not be sharp enough!!!!

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - 'X Factor' reject Kerry McGregor claims competing on the TV talent show has cured her of her post-natal depression.

Wheelchair-bound Kerry, who turns 32 today (31.10.06), was voted out of the competition on Saturday (28.10.06) but says her time on the programme helped her win her struggle against the depression she has suffered since her son Joshua was born 18-months ago.

Kerry said: "Being on 'X Factor' has been the natural high I needed to go home and be the mother Joshua needs.

"I had the baby blues for the best part of a year. I found it difficult to adjust to being a full-time mum as I was always so career-driven.

"I love my son dearly and I would never trade him for the world. I'm proud of the experience on 'X factor' and I'm sure he will benefit."

Kerry was left reliant on a wheelchair after she broke her back when she was just 13.

The pretty blonde singer also told how her father was tragically killed by a drunk driver when she was just six.

Kerry now hopes to persuade Joshua's father, Dean Robertson, to give their relationship a second chance.

She said: "I would like to think we could get back together. That would be the perfect fairytale ending."

Simon Cowell has said that he wants to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, regardless of whether she can sing.

The X-Factor judge revealed his hopes of creating a music career for the supermodel after reportedly watching her perform with her boyfriend and Babyshambles singer, Pete Doherty, at a recent Dublin concert.

'I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not,' the usually sharp-tongued music mogul and critic is quoted as saying in reports.

'The thing about Kate is that she's a star - it's the 'Kate factor'.People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting.'

Nonetheless, Cowell added that there was 'no way' he would sign up her lover Doherty, who is becoming better known for his off-stage partying than his music.

'I doubt he'd turn up for anything,' said Cowell.

Unlike her celebrity boyfriend, it seems that everyone wants a slice of Croydon-born Moss at present.



This is the sort of thing that makes a total mockery out of musicians and is consequent proof that you do not have to have talent in a particular field to be famous for something. Kate is already famous, but singer, she is not.

mmmmmm!!

Cowell frustrated with 'X Factor' voters
Saturday, November 11 2006, 10:47 UTC - by Daniel Kilkelly


X Factor star Simon Cowell has hit out at The MacDonald Brothers once again.

The show's judge has become frustrated with voters for saving the Ayrshire boys, who have received constant criticism from Sharon Osbourne and himself since the live shows began.

"All I can assume is that everyone in Scotland is watching this show with the volume turned down because no one can tell me they are in the show because they are good singers," he complained.

"The reality of it is that the brothers could stand on stage and bark and they would still be in the competition."

The X Factor airs at 6.35pm and 8.55pm tonight on

Andy Abraham criticises latest 'X Factor'
Saturday, November 4 2006, 16:40 UTC - by Daniel Kilkelly


Andy Abraham has admitted that he is disappointed by the current series of The X Factor.

The soul singer, last year's runner-up, has criticised producers for introducing themed nights each week rather than allowing contestants to sing what they feel comfortable with. Abrahams had also hoped that a wider variety of personalities would make it through to the live stages.

"I think some of the elements of The X Factor this year are not as good as last year," he told The Sun. "Being a themed series may not work so well and some of the songs are not working. The acts that have made it on must have good voices, but I don't think this is necessarily coming across on the show this year."

He added: "We had so many personalities last year like Chico and Brenda. Shayne was the teen idol, and I was the soul man. There are just not as many personalities this year."

Ashley bears Louis Walsh "no hard feelings"
Tuesday, November 7 2006, 14:02 UTC - by Ben Rawson-Jones

Ashley McKenzie bears "no hard feelings" towards X Factor judge Louis Walsh for axing him on Saturday - and would have done the same himself.

"At the end of the day, I would have done the same thing," McKenzie revealed to us, following Walsh's controversial decision to axe the 20-year-old singer and save Robert Allen instead. Simon Cowell branded the move "spiteful."

"He's a professional, he's a good man, he put me through, he kept me here last week - so there's no hard feelings whatsoever," admitted McKenzie. "It's a gameshow... it's not my life. He didn't sentence me to death, he just took me off the show."

Just one last thing. Ashley Mackenzie was my choice for winner..because he is original and he has that star quality. It appears that Simon Cowell is going into talks with Ashely pretty soon... I can spot a winner when I see one...

Can i just say i am annoyed to say the least - i thought Ray did brilliant tonight and should never have been in the bottom 2. I feel that Eton Road absolutely qualified to be for a performance that was beyond silly, everything was fine until the piece by the boy in the dark hair, WHAT WAS THAT?

Nikkita was singing great and not who i would have chosen to be bottom, Ben and Leona sang excellent and Leona stole it for me tonight as she is getting better and better and is in no way copying anyone's voice - its her own and i think it lovely.

Robert was great but to be honest he did go flat somewhere along the line and The Mcdonald Brothers i found were great tonight and deserved to stay.

Again 2 of the wrong people in the Bottom 2 - should have been Eton Road and Robert.

OMG Are my boys still in wow i havent watched it yet
