Last night on Xtra Factor they said Simon was alleged to ask us public NOT to vote for Chris Maloney.

If this is the case what chance has the poor man got at making a succesful album/single on Simons record label if Simon doesnt want Chirs there in the 1st place.

I am a big Simon Cowell fan but this news proper dissapointed me.

I am not a huge Chris fan he sings well and seems a nice person but the crap he has gone through is appaling and the show will be to blame if he was to suffer some kind of breakdown which I wiil not be surprised if it does happen

So long as it makes headlines, why would Cowell care? :yawn:

F+*" Him i say!!

all the chris talk is boring as hell. he is average and anyone voting for him for any reason other than they enjoy his performances is wasting their money.

Ah, the same $imon Cowell that a few short years ago, following his weekly battering of Jedward for being a joke act, had it in his power to send them home but opted to send it to deadlock, now wants the public NOT to vote for joke acts?

Well done Cowell, you've surpassed yourself.

By sending Jedward and Lucy to deadlock, lo and behold, Jedward had most votes. He wasn't going to send Jedward and Ollie to deadlock a couple of weeks later as the same thing happened — Jedward had more votes than Cowell's favourite.

Just saying.

Surely all know all is manipulated on X Factor?
