We already knew he wasn’t keen on him but we didn’t expect Simon Cowell to show who his least favourite X Factor contestant is!
According to reports this morning Simon Cowell has made no plans to help launch Christopher Maloney’s music career despite putting a lot of thought into both Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur.
Christopher is a bit of a surprise finalist but has plenty of public support.
Louis Walsh revealed that his close friend isn’t interested in the Liverpudlian: “I spoke to Simon this week. I know he loves James and Jahmene, but I don’t remember him talking about Chris.”
To add insult to injury the former Westlife manager also said he doesn’t think Christopher has what it takes to make it big: “I don’t think he is a star. He is like Tony Christie. He is a good singer but he is not Tom Jones. I am just being honest.”
Jahmene has come a long way since his audition.
Despite the rumours and the negative criticism he has been receiving on the show, the 34-year-old former cruise ship singer is staying positive.
“Simon signs off the winner’s single. I’ve recorded it so that’s enough said, isn’t it? To be honest, Simon does what he wants to do, it’s his show… At the end of the day, if he didn’t want me in it I wouldn’t be there.”
James has impressed the judges with his uniqe take on popular tunes.
He added: “There’s always got to be a pantomime villain every year and it’s just unfortunate that this year it’s got to be me… I do care though. It does affect me. I still go back to my hotel room and feel like crap.”
Thankfully for him Simon and Louis don’t decide who wins, the public do, and we’re sure this little tug on the heartstrings won’t hurt his cause either!
