she turned her back on reporters?

unbelievable:shocked:


she wanted her PR there so that she would not be stitched up by tabloids who have been told to get a negative story about cher?

unbelievable:shocked:

Her refusal to practice their song and wanting a pop song instead.. hmmm?
Katie may be in the right here?

If they contrived another Betty Boop on Benzos sleepwalking song then she may be wise to take a bigger risk.

I dunno.. play safe and do another 'sleeping marylin monroe talk-through' thing and hope to escape elimination?
or?
take a risk and attempt a big bright pop show?

[Niamh.]

No proximo it said : "Right now, Katie is refusing to practise at all and says she would just prefer to go on stage and sing a song first pop." Not that she wanted to sing a pop song, she just didn't want to rehearse

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

stupid cow :bored:

[fruit_cake]

practice won't make any difference because let's face it... shes sh1t

[Niamh.]

so true, I think she's just throwing a tantrum cos she knows her time is up

Oh I see.
Yeah my bad. I'm on a lot of pills right now.

OH... wow, well that is one contestant who can't get away with that sort of spontaneous 'first pop' attempt.

Matt could. Actually I think Treyc could pull that off. Rebecca probably could pull off such a thing.

Katie.. oh my... she needs more practice even when she HAS practiced :shocked:

Indeed, especially after being in the bottom 2 again last week, you would think all she'd be doing is practising!

[fruit_cake]

so true, I think she's just throwing a tantrum cos she knows her time is up

she'll do anything to maintain the drama

[Niamh.]

she'll do anything to maintain the drama

the drama pisses me off and the crying, just sing the song ffs!

Getting pretty sick of all these stories about her and comments on websites etc, it's essentially bullying and I think Sunday's show showed just how much it's affecting her. I don't even understand what there is to dislike about her? She appears to be a nice person, who is just a bit 'quirky' and outgoing, as well as ambitious - what's the problem with that?

But these aren't 'stories', they're total lies that have been spun and exaggerated from the smallest little incident. And everyone laps it up like fools and it gives these people a bad name. And even if this does turn out to be true [I could see the bit about her not liking the song choice being true] - what's the problem? Belle Amie refused to sing Simon's song and no one batted an eye lid. It's just because it's Katie that it's a problem. It's starting to piss me off.

Katie has had much worse press, probably worse then the 3 of them put together so you can't compare them 3 to her at all.

John? When did ANYONE ever write ANYTHING about him? Hardly anyone knew who he was [or cared]. Most of Wagner's have been positive, the only negative one I can recall was the 'leaked phonecall'. Cher has her fair share too, admittedly, but she has a lot of support to counterbalance that.

Just doing a Google News search of 'Katie Waissel' returns this: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&biw=1366&bih=613&q=katie%20waissel&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=nws:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=wn&fp=58316d9f4681ebad

I struggle to find more than one positive story there...it's all negative. And there's thousands of articles written about her. Every day.

No one's saying they can't write stories about her, but **** me at least write a positive one every so often, and don't write total bullsh!t either. What exactly has she done to receive all of the negativity surrounding her? You'd think she'd murdered someone. Aren't there more important negative stories in the world these papers should be covering rather than a talent show contestant that's done absolutely nothing wrong?

[Niamh.]

they also printed a story about wagner smoking canabis aswell.

No, the X Factor. At least with her I know I'd be going to a show where I was going to be entertained and would not be sent to sleep. And I could listen to interviews with her and be interested. All are factors which make up the 'X Factor'. It's not just the voice and that's it.

are you gonna tell me that she acts like that in real life?

Who are you to comment on how someone acts in 'real life'? Besides, do you think Lady Gaga acts like she does in 'real life' away from the spotlight?

Get a grip :sleep:

There was a story about John having a fight with Wagner over him spraying deodrant and John saying he was trying to damage his throat or something like that. Wagner also has had a story about threatening Harry in rehearsals.

And who out of the contestants have had positive stories written about them? Why should she get special treatment? She's already getting special treatment on the show, being put on last or close to last all the time:rolleyes:

If anything Rebecca should be complaining about the fact that she's almost always the first girl on and isn't getting enough credit from the judges on how good she is

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

yes wagner threatened harry :nono:

*comforts harry and takes advantage*

im actually going off lady gaga because shes taking her fakeness to far.

and i dont rate katie weasels voice much either,and i noticed you aint commented on the wagner smoking canabis story because you know its worse than anything thats been printed about katie.

[Niamh.]

Don't know how crying when you you are minutes away from finding out that your dreams might be crushed can make anyone a drama Queen, suppose that's just your logic though...

I didn't use that as an example , you did, eventhough that was annoying, I would be more referring to all these panic attacks she has and collapsing etc. If she cant take the heat get out of the kitchen

[Jack_]

There was a story about John having a fight with Wagner over him spraying deodrant and John saying he was trying to damage his throat or something like that. Wagner also has had a story about threatening Harry in rehearsals.

...well that sounds like a negative story regarding Wagner, not John. Never heard of the Harry thing either.

And who out of the contestants have had positive stories written about them? Why should she get special treatment? She's already getting special treatment on the show, being put on last or close to last all the time:rolleyes:

One Direction for a start. And Cher [well, some of it]. Matt's has been fairly positive too. It's not that the other contestants haven't had negative press, it's that Katie has had far, far more negative press than any of the others...infact the most negative press an XF contestant has ever received, IMO. One low-rate tabloid even stated she was the 'Most Hated Reality TV Contestant Ever' the other day [what a ****ing joke] - I mean, how do you think that's going to make someone feel?

I'm glad she's near enough always the last on - as she's interesting [we want something to look forward to to close the show, not something to fall asleep waiting for - I expect that's the producers reasoning behind it as well] and also deserves a chance. On top of all the negative press, sticking her on first would send her straight to the Bottom Two - no question.

If anything Rebecca should be complaining about the fact that she's almost always the first girl on and isn't getting enough credit from the judges on how good she is

But has Rebecca been in the Bottom Two/Three yet? No, so she has nothing to complain about, really. And to be honest apart from Week 3, I really don't think she has been [i]that good. She was better pre-live shows.

Why does it matter if an artist is 'fake' in front of the cameras/spotlight? It's the business, you're not going to get very far [in most cases], if you're a dull, irrelevant, non-entity. You've got to be a little bit interesting. That's the way the business works. Deal with it.

I didn't reply because I didn't see the post. But no, I don't think it's worse than anything that's been printed about Katie. People all over the country smoke cannabis every single day and no one bats an eyelid [except some of the police]- especially not me, I couldn't give a flying *****. Alcohol is technically more dangerous anyway. So why the fuss over Wagner? What difference does it make?

[Niamh.]

...well that sounds like a negative story regarding Wagner, not John. Never heard of the Harry thing either.

Well, not really cos it's was a pretty irrational and diva esque type thing to complain about! Have a look at todays X-Factor treads and you'll see a thread on the Harry thing.

yes you've named the people who've had a positive press but haven't told me what stories they were so I'm still none the wiser. And maybe she's had more negative press cos there's more negative things to write about her?

I'm glad she's near enough always the last on - as she's interesting [we want something to look forward to to close the show, not something to fall asleep waiting for - I expect that's the producers reasoning behind it as well] and also deserves a chance.

leona lewis is successful yet shes dull as dishwater,and as somebody else said what about the story where wagner threatens harry something (cant think of his last name)

How is she getting terrible spots? anywhere but first is pretty much fine

[Niamh.]

leona lewis is successful yet shes dull as dishwater,and as somebody else said what about the story where wagner threatens harry something (cant think of his last name)

Also, the only story I can think of for Matt was a negative one about him being arrested for possession of cocaine or something

[Niamh.]

not really, the earlier spots are the worst and she's been first girl on twice I think out of 4 shows

[Mystic Mock]

yeah i forgot that,did it turn out to be true?

Seen it. Fair point - but it's still not as much as Katie's receiving.

yes you've named the people who've had a positive press but haven't told me what stories they were so I'm still none the wiser. And maybe she's had more negative press cos there's more negative things to write about her?

Well One Direction being named the favourite is one for a start - as well as them receiving the 'backing' of Take That, Westlife, The Wanted etc.

What negative things are there to write about her exactly? Has she murdered anyone? Because that's the impression you'd get judging by some people's reactions and comments. So what if she's ambitious and outgoing, what's the big deal? And as for all these 'negative incidents' that keep being reported, please tell me you or anyone else on here doesn't believe them? It's tabloid crap.

I'm sure she's glad too at the special treatment she's getting cos she'd probably be gone now if it wasn't for that

Yeah, she would - and I really don't think the negative press helps people's perceptions of her. Infact I think it hinders it and people aren't giving her a fair chance. So yes, I'm sure she's glad and she deserves it too.

No she hasn't, even though she's getting terrible spots on the show, what does that tell you?

Wouldn't call them 'terrible', like Novo said as long it's not first there's not really a problem. And people like her anyway - like I said, people just aren't giving Katie a fair chance. She's a hell of a lot more interesting than Rebecca is anyway...

leona lewis is successful yet shes dull as dishwater,and as somebody else said what about the story where wagner threatens harry something (cant think of his last name)

But Leona has outstanding vocal talent - people like that will sail through with that talent alone. The others who have mediocre or just good voices need the 'X Factor' to back them up.

[Niamh.]

at the end of the day Jack, besides the fact that she's extremely annoying she just doesn't have the talent to come any where in the competition and I'll be very surprised if she isn't gone on Sunday for that reason alone.

But...Katie does have talent... :conf:

She's interesting, quirky, different, has a nice voice [not the strongest, but it's nice], and has stage presence. That's essentially what the 'X Factor' is.

Most mainstream artists nowadays don't have much talent - so what's the difference? That's the market they're going to be competing in.

[Novo]

Katie is Amazing [/Thread]

[tate]

As far as the press go, there are some folk who invite the attention - katie seems like one of these people.

The problem is, when you invite attention you put yourself at risk of negativity which is exactly what has happened to Katie.

She is so so desperate for fame that some people, journalists included, take an instant dislike to that trait

With regard to her talent, I like the quirkyness but quite frankly the over the top drama that surrounds her and her mediocre voice is a turn off for me

I, in all honesty, cannot be completely convinced that the panic attacks are not just a rouse for sympathy, votes and yet more attention

[Niamh.]

But the show is looking for a mainstream artist...

so? That's not why I watch it and if that's what they're looking for then it'll be Cher not katie

[Mystic Mock]

so? That's not why I watch it and if that's what they're looking for then it'll be Cher not katie

they will go for down the pop route again and get stupid direction to win.

[Jack_]

so? That's not why I watch it and if that's what they're looking for then it'll be Cher not katie

The point is that they're looking for a mainstream artist and Katie would be one of them, amongst others [whether they would be successful or not is irrelevant, they would still suit a mainstream market], and so thus wanting potential mainstream artists out of the competition pretty much goes against the entire point of the show...

In other words what you're saying is that you just watch the show for the 'talent', but then once the winner/other acts go into the mainstream music market you won't follow their progress because you don't care about mainstream artists? So I take it that applies to Matt as well?

The only potential mainstream artists this year are Cher, One Direction, Matt, Katie, Rebecca and possibly Aiden.

[Beastie]

ALL of them want to be in the final 8 at least. If not then they will lose out on a large pay packet to go on the X Factor tour.

Yes but what you're missing is that most people find Katie extremely annoying so why do you thin k that she would be a successful artist???

I wouldn't say I would follow the winners progress as such no, I haven't really liked any of the winners so far. I have heard Ollys new song though which I do like and as for Matt depends on what kind of music he realises after

[Jack_]

They find her 'extremely annoying' because of the crap they've lapped up in the tabloids. As I said, no one is giving her a fair chance...

And I never said 'successful', infact I specifically said whether they'd be succesful or not is irrelevant, they are still the only potential mainstream artists. Hypothetical success/failure doesn't come into it - they're the only potential mainstream artists and that's that.

I think its very ignorant to assume the only reason people find her annoying is because they lap up everything that is said in rags. Some people make their own opinion on what they SEE. And she comes across as a bit of a spoilt bitch to be honest :/

That said, I can give or take her. Her voice is OK but nothing special really. And the song choices for her have been terrible. I think cheryl is focusing on cher more for some odd reason...and just throwing anything at the other girls.

or because they see her every week on the show........

Yes - and each week they don't judge her performance, they just stick with their preconceived idea of 'her' using the crap they've lapped up in the tabloids.

so could anyone really.......

'So could anyone' what? Anyone could be a mainstream artist? :conf:

Says who? Just because YOU like her doesn't mean everyone else has to. People can dislike her for other reasons than because they read a nasty story in the papers you know...

I think the only terrible song choice she has had is We are the champions in the first week, She has sung a few Etta james songs though.. great songs but probably over half the audience that watch X factor have never heard them before... wouldn't even be suprised if most of them don't even know who she is to be honest.

I didn't like Katie and Cher when they went to Cheryl's house. Because neither of them could sing a full song.

Since the Live Shows I think they have both been so different and fantastic!!

They are not the most likeable people but they are two people I would LOVE to see on The X Factor tour.

Sadly though.. don't think Katie will be make it to the top 8 :(

The jungle book was terrible. Lovely performance, looked stunning, but to be honest that song wouldnt show anyones vocals off. This week was quite bad too.

Her surivival songs are great though, which makes me think she should be picking her own songs, it seems a bit like cheryl is knacking her up

I never said everyone - of course there'll be people that don't like her performances, and they're entitled to that opinion. But I would say a large majority have been influenced by the negative stories in the press. Stories that she's a 'slag' will put quite a lot of women off, a lot of girls I know has simply referred to her as a 'slag', the stories of her being up herself will also put some people off etc. It definitely has an effect. The press effects a lot of things. The more something is written about someone for example[whether negative or not], the more people discuss it and become aware of it. That's why people buy these tabloids/magazines - because they want to read the stories and 'believe' them. No one's going to buy something they know is lies are they? So they must believe them. I genuinely think it has an effect. Another example would be 'Sachsgate' with Ross and Brand - many people were complaining when they hadn't even listened to the audio, as a result of it being all over the press.

And I agree that the song choices have been terrible, hence why I hope [and somehow believe] there's some truth behind the claims that she's refused the choice this week. I'm glad she's done that, because like you said, her sing-off performances have been miles ahead of all the other performances she's done...

I have never read anything that suggests she is a slag :shocked:

Thats a bit below the belt.

This, as well as the James Blunt thing and there was an article in the News Of The World [I think] a few weeks back with pics of her pole dancing or something or other...

I know nothing at all of this james blunt thing either :S

Then again, I refuse to read the star and stuff, since they very rarely contain anything even close to the truth...

I don't pay any attention to anything written in the tabloids. she seems like a sweet young girl , must be a head trip being that young and on tv combined with an exhausting schedule, bound to bring out a few tensions and mini breakdowns. I don't really understand the anti Katie thing. she is not a particularly strong singer but always does a good performance, good luck to her.
