The producers should be feeling really ashamed of themselves. It makes me want him to win more. I urge people to vote 5x on every device to p*** off the producers even more😳😜😜😜😜😜😜
Conspiracy time.

By making it look like sabotage, it might possibly be done with subtlety to encourage people to vote more for Anton.

Anton given terrible song choice. Looks like he's been thrown under the bus. Public think "sod off" and vote even more for Anton. The end result?

Anton safely through to week 3 and Syco/ITV make a lot more money than they would've done had he been given a safe (MOR) song choice - thanks to people voting like crazy. I love how engineered X Factor has become. It just fascinates me how its all done to perfection.

They ended up doing the same to poor Nicholas McDonald but he'd done enough solid performances in the earlier weeks so people had pretty much decided who they liked by that point, before the "sabotage" started. He also made the final, so with all this in mind it's currently looking quite good for Anton to make the final 3 too.

Histastic - I don't think Anton can be compared with Nicky. Nicky had several solid weeks behind him. He had time to build up support. Plus he and Sam B led the votes all the way through and only Luke came close towards the end.

Anton has only had one performance, and the Sun story was released Monday morning. Week two and the derailing has begun with a song that he's messed up before. I'll be amazed if he reaches the final, unless like Chris Maloney everything they try do just bounces off

Personally I think he has one of the best voices this year so it's a shame if they do sabotage him

Surely it would be easy enough to establish if these stories are true or not. If they are true, I think people might well be put off. Nobody likes a fake.

Wow the song choices this week!! Are they expecting him to rap??? Jesus they aren't even subtly trying to throw him under the bus. Anyway I thought their favourite sabotage song was Candy.

Dan Wootton wrote the article in The Sun and he has often leaked stuff given to him by the Cowell camp. Guess Anton must have topped the vote last week.
I cannot bear that disgusting gutter journalist

I'm surprised he managed to remove his head from Peter Andres rear end long enough to actually write an article

He must be seriously hacked off that his golden geese both Andre and Cowell are really struggling.

Now if they'd given Anton Candy by Cameo then that might work as long as they made him wear the red codpiece

It's going to backfire. He looked like a kicked puppy after the critiques. I'll be surprised if he hits the bottom 3.

Why did they dress him up like a pimp? They really do want rid of him this week, don't they?

They prob thought public would find him irritating, and we find him endearing they prob thought they had enough dirt to derail him, but no one believes the Sun

So they have gone for the low blow and given him a ridiculous song which they think he will balls up, . They underestimate the GBP. Anton is well aware of media etc and has a lot of celebrity fans. He remains gracious and thankful.

The producers should be feeling really ashamed of themselves. It makes me want him to win more. I urge people to vote 5x on every device to p*** off the producers even more😳😜😜😜😜😜😜
I agree primarily because of their seemingly callous treatment of this singer who is twice the singer of any of the judges that are or profess to be able to sing shame.

I think they will leave him be for now. Let him impress for a few weeks- get the Grannies whooping and multivoting on their landlines. Then he will get the Lauren Platt/Chris Maloney/Janet Devlin/Mary Byrne bag of tricks to get him out.
You seem to be sure that only Grannies are voting for him interesting.

Stunk of sabotage. All About The Bass didn't work for him the first time, there was really no logical reason to repeat it, it's an odd choice to begin with for a forty something male with a soul voice. Bang Bang could have worked if he'd done the full song. Unfortunately the mash up was a car crash. He tried though, he really tried with the awful choice he was lumped with. Hope he survives this week I really do

What intrigues me is the idea that women are people with varying tastes in music until their child has a child, and then suddenly they all have the same taste.
