I am not a supporter of Wagner as a performer, but Cheryl's comments last night were out-of-order, and it's time the producers took her to task for it. She's been spiralling out of control this series, imagining it is all about her, and therefore the place to air her dirty laundry and promote her tacky music. She should be made to retract what she said on Sunday and apologise to a contestant, live-on-air.
On last night's Xtra Factor a caller challenged Cheryl about her Saturday night outburst towards Wagner, where she had refused to judge his performance and instead commented on a press story about Cheryl's council estate background. Wagner had explained live-on-air that he had been selectively misquoted by an undercover reporter, and said his full comment had actually complimented her. It was THE way to deal with the spiteful madam, who could only attempt to smile graciously at his words, while being made to look an absolute fool.
But then she claimed last night that she knows what he really said to the reporter, and that it wasn't nice. How can she? Unless she has a tape recording to prove it, it can only be malicious hearsay behind-the-scenes, and there seems to be a few fellow contestants more than happy to stick the knife in, by whatever means. She should have given him the benefit of the doubt and buried the hatchet. To not do so, when she is going to be called upon to judge his performances in future, is unprofessional.
What she said last night implied that he had been lying the night before. That's a serious allegation to make in front of a large TV audience, especially when he was not there that time to defend himself. If I was him I'd be livid.

It may well be so, but that doesn't change the situation of his response being labelled a lie the following night on the Xtra Factor, at a time when he wasn't there to defend himself.
Princess Cheryl wanted to take poor old Wagner down did she?
Him getting through and Cher being in the sing-off was priceless, only wish Cher had gone - that would have been hilarious!
She should do the decent thing and make amends.
loved Cheryl and his staged response.
Why were they?(thats if he did say them)
"With great power comes great responsibility"
"Bullying is achieved by projecting inadequacy onto others through control and subjugation (criticism, exclusion, isolation etc). Bullying is sustained by abdication of responsibility (denial, counter-accusation, pretence of victimhood) and perpetuated by a climate of fear, ignorance, indifference, silence, denial, disbelief, deception, evasion of accountability, tolerance and reward (eg promotion) for the bully." Tim Field, 1999
perhaps you can take the girl out of the chavs, but not the chav out of the girl...
graceless.
Much as I don't like Wagner, it was a crass attempt from Cheryl to have a me, me , me moment, to discredit another contestant and to get more public sympathy with a look at me being harrassed by this strange man! She was there to judge his performance, not bring up a personal issue. I had not even heard bout that story, and frankly don't care.
She only proved that she has no class, no dignity. All she was interested in was seeing to it that Wagner grovelled before her. She looked so smug when Wager called her pretty! She really is just a self serving, self involved, self obsessed madam.
Cheryl was bang within her rights to challenge him on it.
Wagner may or may not have been misquoted. But the comments were attributed to him,
And Cheryl is the 'superstar' and should know better than most that you shouldn't believe what you read in the papers.
The stroppy little madam used her postition of authority (as a mentor) to make Wagner look bad. I am so glad it backfired on her... she is a mucky little cow I must say!!
Any last shred of slight ambivelance I had towards her character disappeared with those antics on Saturday night! She is a nasty little cow...
I'm not liking her at all this series, she's gone too far up her own backside. If what Wagner said was true I have to say I fully agree with it - she is bloody lucky. Aside from being very pretty and a reasonably good dancer I don't see much in the way of glittering talent at all.
How about as part of her penance, Cheryl should be made to nosh Wagner off in public?
Yes, you are absolutely right.
BUT not on live TV in front of millions of viewers. The sad vindictive little woman should be living up to her nations princess tag and keeping a dignified silence.
If she had any dicernable talent, she may be excused for these little 'erm mistakes, wrong maybe, but sometimes we just forgive talented people ..but to those who don't buy into the hype we she's just a talentless waste of space. and Wagner was right..she is a very, very lucky lady to be where she is.
or perhaps make his career with a Paris Hilton style video?
perhaps they could call it "Lord of the Ring"...
Just thinking about it - if she is so bitter about comments, why didn't she confront Louis on air after some of the things he said about her this year?
Whatever Wagner said, and whether he meant it or not, she could have spoken to him backstage, or during the week, and sorted things out. Instead she tries to belittle him by mugging him off on live television.
Silly c**t ended up looking like a right tit herself though.
Nation's sweetheart? Pull the other one. Over-rated, over-hyped lovechild of the media.
