Former X Factor winner Steve Brookstein has hit out at the show and Simon Cowell in an impassioned Facebook message.
Brookstein, who won the first series of the programme in 2004 but was later dropped by Cowell, affirmed his support of Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' for Christmas number one.
He wrote: "Before X Factor gimps have a go, I will tell you this and I sware (sic) on my son's life, I was not bothered that my single 'Against All Odds' went to number one and I wasn't bothered that my album went to number one. I just wanted to make good music - and not the pop schlop associated with Cowell.
"Unfortunately. I was dropped because I wouldn't play the game. Now to my point - X Factor is on for four months - surely winning the show and getting a deal is enough for any artist."
Brookstein added: "To release for Christmas is just mega rich Simon Cowell doing a **** you to Santa Claus, Rudolph, all the little elves, Frosty and not forgetting Baby Jesus. What a douche!"

To be fair on him, the show wasnt the same back then, they just forgot about him, rather than help him

There is laid back and easy going but then there is lazy and unmotivated which is Steve. G4, Cassie and Tabby were way better than Steve! However I will hand it to Steve that he is probs a BIT better than Leon Jackson. Well it is just after Steve won.. I did not believe we could get another **** undeserving winner and we did!

Well what a wasted contract when Cassie or Tabby could have had it. I would have said G4 but they were successful anyways after the X Factor :D

I preferred Steve - he had a nice soulful voice! Don't even remember the others you mentioned - they had such an impact! :joker:

I agree with the last thing he says though, it should be a xmas song for number 1.
Against all odds in the name of N-Dubz new album :hugesmile:
He's a douche because he hates X Factor? ****ing grow up.

No he is not - Olly fans hating on Joe just because he beat Olly - that's bitter! :joker:

Phil Collins sang Against all Odds way better! I think it should be a christmas song or I did like the originality to Shayne Ward's winning song. However maybe they don't want a Christmas song because they don't want it on the X Factor winner's albulm? I think X Factor finalists should all cover a christmas song together, like they did in Pop Idol.

Well I liked Stacey, Olly and Joe. Did not really mind who won. Hey I think we would all be bitter if we won the most popular talent show and then after a few months our fame and talent just shrivelled up :joker:

I don't get the hate for this man, I think he had a very good voice.
Not bothered when he went to number one? Yep, bet he wasn't bothered when everything flopped for him.
God, how disrespectful to the people who bought the CD.

No you idiot.
Because hes being a bitter little jealous bitch because he failed and Simon dumped him.
He wouldnt be saying any of that if he had became as sucessful as Shayne,Alex or Leona.

How is it disrespectful? If they bought the CD because they liked it - then they got their moneys worth!

The X Factor and Big Brother are similar. You go on these shows to get something out of it after. The majority want more than "the experience" but in reality the majority flop and once work shrivells up people become bitter and some start slating the x factor or slating big brother saying "its past it sell by date"

Bull - you are all making a lot of uninformed assumptions!

Thats why shes amazing :joker:
But saying how hes overly confident and full of crap etc, she was spot on. It just took us a few years to realise it. He thinks hes gods gift to X Factor and the best thing to come out of it but axed way too soon, and although with some of the stuff he says he does have a point to an extent but he comes across as very bitter, disrespectful and desperate. Rowetta had him summed up in an article yesterday basically saying don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Pmsl, I never watched the first 2 series with much interest, I started getting into it at the end of series 3, lmao at Sharon cant believe I missed this. She seems to be right about him though, even though she was a bit of a bitch saying it :laugh: Was her rant the cause of Steve winning?
I liked Sharon as a judge though :tongue:
AND I miss Kate!!!
No you idiot.

I don't know the story with this guy but apparently you do, how did he fail? He said he wouldn't play the game, which sounds to me like he refused to stay quiet and take it like a bitch.

Everyone knows he did, he became unknown, hes the only X Factor winner not to go to Christmas #1.
He just flopped like Leon.

he Never got on with Simon.
It seemed like he did.

It seemed like Steve was on a right high after XF. He got the record deal which is what he wanted.

He just flopped like Leon.
That wasn't a rhetorical question, by the way.
Well now saying that he DIDN'T get no.1 conflicts with the OP. That's why I didn't understand why he had failed.

To be fair though it was thye first series and getting a Xmas number one wasnt the biggest agenda then.

Since when did getting the Christmas no 1 become so important? He is a winner - because he won the x-factor! How many people can say that! I bet you never win the x-factor Patrick! So what does that make you then?
