I don't care if he's ambassador of anything excepting to ask what is your source for this information?

With respect to his unhappy background and his age he really is going to need some kind of media training if he is going to become anything other than a very good (if a little bit dated for his age) singing voice......his interviewing style is very uncomfortable to watch and his sense of humour or ability to take himself anything less than 100% seriously only seems to extend to that nervous silly childlike giggle,there also seems to be a slightly righteous sounding moral stance creeping in too
.All in all disappointing.If it does become a problem, for both him and the charity/cause in question, I am sure this could be remedied in due course!!!! BTW Jahmene....congratulations!!!! |

^^ This
![]() I have a friend who is a councillor for women's aid. The work they do is incredible and at the moment my friend's is unpaid. She does it as she can see the difference it makes. If Jahmene's current celebrity status helps the charity in any way at all then I'm sure he'll be more than happy to do that and raise all the awareness he can. The other finalists will probably be on This Morning later this week as well I should think |

good for him but this is singing competition, becoming ambassador days before the final is bound to lead to suggestions of a convenient vote boosting exercise

Congratulations to Jahmene for becoming an ambassador for Woman's Aid. If there is anyone young kids should look up to, it is Jahmene for so many reasons

Good for him! Bored of the cynical moaning and wailing about Jahmene on here. He's doing a good thing and more power to him.

Thanks Cassy - that is exactly what I mean! Yes, he probably wouldnt have been made a new ambassador for the cause he is involved in had it not been for x factor, but I think it's a possitive thing. As for canvassing votes, I doubt that is the reason he is doing it. I'm sure he would love to win (IMO), but I'm also sure (IMO)that he will go far outside the show even if he doesn't win. Don't know much about this sort of thing, but wouldn't he have been asked or awarded/given the new ambassador role? Surely, he didnt ask for it?!
The other finalists will probably be on This Morning later this week as well I should think I'd say it's more a clever PR tactic on behalf of the charity to maximise awareness that the news has come out now, people are already aware of Jahmene's story so I don't think it will affect his vote really. Like you say I'm sure he'd have accepted the role offered whether he wins or doesn't. Whatever the reason it is a worthy charity to be a part of.

I found the interview thoroughly embarrassing. Completely wrong to happen before the final and so obviously done on purpose. His use of the song Ella sang as an example of exploitation was wide of the mark and he has a very narrow minded approach. Whilst I am sorry for his problems in life and for his loss I think that this was a very unfair advantage to put him on with Phillip and Holly at this stage. Why not after the programme has finished. His girly giggling is so annoying.

As you say they're all on tv this week, they're all canvassing for votes.

Personally I haven't a problem with Ella singing those lyrics, and if she did I'm sure she'd have said. I haven't seen the interview so I can't comment but if he was stating how it made him feel then why not? He flat out refused to sing another song and that's his perogative. He has explained his giggling before is a nervous reaction. I was under the impression from the OP that they were all appearing this week with interviews, is that not the case?

Why is it wrong that he has principles? Just because they're narrow to you doesn't mean they're narrow to everyone.

lots of men and women have principles these days ... they don't have to be as extreme and ridgid as Jemahne's to still be decent people
![]() He's not afraid to express his opinion or to stand up for what he believes in, that's a good thing IMO. |

![]() . , I'm talking about him refusing to be part of a group number as he doesn't approve of a 16 year old singing sexual lyrics just because he has particular views about sex

I saw the interview and I thought Jahmene came across as a lovely young man who has principles and would not compromise himself. Good for him. It takes courage to stand up against the majority. Congrats to him on the ambassador appointment.

he seems a lovely guy but that's ridiculous
It was the Katy Perry song the age of consent is 16 and if Ella was happy to sing it he shouldn't use her as the reason he didn't want to sing it |

![]() Considering Jahmene's upbringing which I think most would consider to be anything but society's view of 'normal.' He seems pretty well adjusted. |
