Oh brilliant, every year the Sun do their best to trash a contestant, and people still buy in to it. 1) Can he sing? - Yes. 2) Will he win? - No idea at the moment. 3) Does his backstory matter? - Only if you are too gullible not to realise that this entire program is built on dishonesty. The Sun would do better to investigate, why the auditions were re-mixed, why last night there was manipulation of the sound and backing, why most of the contestants are music industry rejects and not talented people who have just walked in off the road. Those are the real issues. Take the useless rag down the bottom of the garden and burn it. |

Exactly what I thought. I bet he was top 3 of the vote. Possibly even at the very top

Are there still some people out there that they believe anything that is written in The Sun? It is a paper made up of fantasy stories, and not fit for purpose other than chip paper.

I haven't read The Sun story but wasn't there a similar thing with Matt Cardle, he said he had taken in a family or been taken in or something sad, and there were stories that he had made it up?

This is what I hate about The XFactor. They have been waiting on this story! Now they want rid of Anton, or to make him less popular,. They put an article in on Monday morning. Probably got another story on him for Saturday morning, to really put the boot in. I am sure they put contestants through for headlines as well as entertainment..

Reminds me of Tesco Mary - who despite the efforts to sabotage her still beat One Direction in the public vote most weeks. Who knows what might have become of her had she had 1 per cent of the support from Cowell which 1D did.
Wrong place wrong time - Cowell didn't need another Susan Boyle. |

Who cares? It's completely irrelevant. It's like when they ruined Misha B's chances when Tulisa and Louis were absolutely vile towards her with their comments...it was completely uncalled for and there was no need.

Hmmm. From Popbitch earlier this week:
The whole idea of this series was to seem younger and cooler (hence the Grimmy/Rita reboot) but it's the stories of the oldies that have seemed to go over best with the audience. Plans are geared towards a young winner this year, so which "overs" did they pick? Max, as early cannon fodder; Bupsi, this year's take on Wagner; and Anton. Anton might make for good TV, but we're told he's slated to take the Maloney position. And if he looks to be challenging a more youthful winner? Word is they have enough ammo to take him out. |

Makes me so mad when stories start to come out, the papers always seem to go out their way with X factor contestants, has he killed anyone?? No, so just leave the poor guy alone, there's reasons for everything we do in our lives, the papers lie all the time, believe me I know

I doubt Tesco Mary would have made a 1/10000000 of what 1D have made for Cowell
Believe me, I wasn't a fan at all and she isn't to my taste but she was absolutely screwed over by TPTB because they saw Cher Lloyd and 1D as cash cows. |

Never liked the man from day one, and not in the least bit surprised to hear that he is reported to have been providing a false back story. I get the impression that he is the type of individual that will do almost anything to get his own way . Hopefully he will soon be dumped out of the competition and disappear back into obscurity.

Guys I do know The Sun has a close relationship with Cowell and this "leak" isn't just by coincidence. That said, it seems like such an unbelieveable thing to lie about, and I wouldn't expect even them to make something like this up.

Do I think he is a star? No. Do I think he could win? No. |
