Just noticing this now, she was getting away with a lot whilst Katie survived for so long.

Even going way back to the judges house, it was why Katie got through as opposed to Cher that the media seemed to be making a lot of.

In retrospect now that Katie has gone, you realise that Katie wasnt that bad, was more talented that Cher, a lot more likable and was probably a lot easier to work with than what Cher is proving

ive been saying this from the start and on here more times than that, the only reason katie was kept in time and again was so that she took all the press flack leaving cher a clear run to the final unscathed.

Yup, the media were having a go at both of them to start with but then the hate was all directed towards Katie whilst Cher managed to stay low. But now Cher is back in the limelight and we're remembering how awful she really was...

Katie was Cher's shield. Katie took the flak whilst Cher got shoved though every week.

...and by the way, I wasn't a Katie fan.

Yes, shocking how so many folk forgot to fully concentrate their irrational hatred on Cher for quite a few weeks

Either that, or the media need a new scape goat now Katie has gone, and Cher is the most 'controversial' female contestant left.

It's misogyny more than anything else that kept Katie in the papers, and now Cher. Sure, she seems like a brat, but I don't think that warrants the majority of ridiculously embillished stories that are now emerging.

Shocking isnt it, considering how likable she is.

Who could fail to be capitivated by the "sneer"

That exactly what I was thinking. Im not a Katie fan at all. But as someone said, she was just desperate for fame and to achieve her dreams. Cheris just plain nasty and thinks shes the best things God ever created.

Vote Mary to get rid of the prat

Not really, if Cher got through and Katie didn't and Gamu took her place then everyone would have been content. Cher was always bound to get through and she didn't FORGET her words, she just wasn't fit on the day so there's a complete difference between the two. Maybe Cher isn't the most likeable of characters but she hasn't slept with the majority of the music industry to get where she is, she has worked hard and maybe she's not come from a privelidged background, but what has that got to do with anything? "A lot easier to work with" I'm sure that Katie had a strop every week and broke down during rehearsal which is the same as Cher so you're totally contradicting yourself.

Yeah- 100%

I wasn't a huge fan of Katie but towards the end I warmed to her a little- really liked her performance of Help

Can't see that happening with Cher

It may even have been the reason Katie was kept in so long by Cowell : to deflect criticism away from Cher.

Substitute the word 'attention' for the word 'criticism' and you may be right.

However, as much as i dodnt really like Katie's singing on a lot of her performances, I think more or less everything written about her was rubbish.

I think the same about Cher.

"Some people get confused between the performance and the real person" was Cher's words. It seems you're of those people who distingquish between a performance and the off-stage personality.

We do have a fickle crowd here. People didn't vote for Katie as they thought she was being "fake" and there is numerous old topics of "Kakie Kate" if you back a few weeks.

Anyone watching post X-Factor interviews knows who wrong those threads were, how wrong the tabloids and how wrong the caller who decided to jump down Cheryl's throat for mentoring Katie.

Now the Digital Spy hate figure has left then the hate mob needs someone else to vent on about .

Is this place acutally populated by people over the 18+ as some of the posters need mummy to put on the naughty step.

Lol

I know, the crotch grabbing, snarling and faux Malvern Massif accent really does endear me.... oh hang on.
