Fluer now trying to play the "depression" card? smh

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its an insult to those who actually suffer from this dreadful disease. What she had was fear of having to do a days hard graft. Unbelievable

:nono:

X Factor finalist Fleur East may be flying high this week as she tours the country with her battle bus.

But the brunette beauty has more than just the chance of a record deal to thank for her super mood, after she revealed how the show saved her from depression.

The tiresome brunette - who will compete in this weekend's final alongside Ben Haenow and Andrea Faustini - became depressed as she struggled to land gigs and feared she would never sing again.

She told The Mirror's 3AM girls: 'The beginning of this year was my lowest point. I was waking up at whatever time and watching repeats of Friends in my pyjamas all day, every day.

'There was nothing in my diary - no gigs, nothing going on. I was like, "What am I going to do with my life?" I was so scared. I knew if I got a normal job, I would never sing again.'

There was no motivation in me - there wasn't even any drive to get up in the morning because what's the point? I was definitely depressed. Looking back, I'm like, "Who was that?'''

Of course she must of been depressed after 10+ years trying to reach her dream and never getting it? Now finally she has got there, I'm so happy for her :love:

They always play the sympathy card to get votes. :bored:

That isn't depression, having a dream and failing to fulfill it is far from grounds for depression, she was angsty/upset over it. If she had an actual tragedy like her loved ones dying that sent her spiraling into depression... Also, getting a record deal and getting 'mad bank yo' couldn't cure genuine depression, quite frankly nothing can. I've never suffered from it but even I can see this :tongue:

Congratulations to her though, shame she tried to garner some n'awwws at the expense of those with the actual disease.

There is different types of depression :shrug:

[Mystic Mock]

I can't believe that I'm defending Fleur again, but this source is from the Daily Mail so how do people know if she really said this?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Aw. Depression can hit anyone for any number of reasons. It's coming to the point though where it becoming hard to differentiate just being tired, lazy and unmotivated with depression because the word depression is being used so freely. So anytime you're not thriving nowadays is seen as depression.

But can news outlets learn how to be comfortable with "the black beauty"? (actually they associated that phrase with horses) If I become famous tomorrow I don't want to be referred to as the the brunette beauty.

[Crimson Dynamo]

It was from an interview she did with the 3 am girls on the daily mirror

she obviously has no idea what depression really is and tbh she should have an adult with her when she speaks to the press to edit out BS

[Crimson Dynamo]

Watch the docu on Spike Milligan tonight ( a real legend) and see what depression really is

The bitterness towards her is hilarious on here :laugh:

well if you can perhaps explain why?....

[GoldHeart]

well if you can perhaps explain why?....

are you serious? if i have to explain myself then clearly i wont get anywhere with you because you will just disagree anyway seen as you find nothing wrong but ok :sleep:

you mention a random story about Fleur "suffering from depression"

number 1
i dont know if this is true because i never read that toilet newspaper and if it is true why are you yet again putting the boot in Fleur ? what if she really did suffer from depression in her life?

number 2 this is irrelevant what's this got to do with xfactor or Fleur as a contestant

number 3 if it was a different contestant would this get the same complaints on here??? hmmm so i find it interesting
because i bet anything if it was another person then they would immediately get sympathy but because some of you already dislike Fleur

this is like a desperate poor attempt at trying to ruin Fleur's reputation

[Heaven = Winner]

Some of Fleur's haters being so desperate to pull out every dirty trick in the book just to try and damage her reputation and her massive chance of winning the show. A shame :/

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf not all of Fleur's haters are taking the piss on this thread, I do think that threads like this will create a martyr out of her though.

That is why I said some and not all :joker:

[Headie]

Only the same as Ben having ill children in his VT and crying over it all, and Andrea constantly going on about being homesick.

[LukeB]

Even though I love Lauren, She had on her VT about her parents splitting up, where is her thread?

[GoldHeart]

Even though I love Lauren, She had on her VT about her parents splitting up, where is her thread?

that's why the OP is clutching at straws and like i said its a desperate way of giving Fleur a bad name :sleep:

they complain about Fleur having this "sob story" when every year a bunch of contestants do it but its hypocritical how Fleur once again is given a hard time on here again she's being targeted on here unfairly
and the arguments towards her are stupid jibberish

[Mystic Mock]

Even though I love Lauren, She had on her VT about her parents splitting up, where is her thread?

She already had enough stick for not being able to dance on a singing competition.

And people did use it as a beating stick against her.

The female contestants always get nitpicked at the most on these shows, it's something we've got to get used to I suppose.

The only thing that male contestants suffer from on here is building big fanbases.

How do you explain people picking on Andrea then is he not male :whistle:

[Mystic Mock]

Andrea suffers from what I said on my last post though, males struggle to get fanbases on the Forums, they don't have to be hated necessarily, but they never get huge fanbases for some reason on the Forums.

Andrea does well to have about 10% on here in particular who normally struggle with any male contestant.

are you kidding me? You have a very selective memory Mock, what about poor Danyl Johnson and the hatchet job that was done on him, the bully accusations and all

[JoshBB]

It's a mental illness, not a disease, and also you cannot look into her mind so trying to "undiagnose" someone as depressed over just a few hours footage is very narrow-minded in my opinion.

[Mystic Mock]

That was the production not the public.

[GoldHeart]

who was Danyl Johnson??? :conf:
must of been in the year i didn't watch xfactor

[Mystic Mock]

He was in the year with Jedward and Olly Murs, did you watch that year or are you a newer fan of the show?

[Mystic Mock]

If you like Andrea I think you would also like Danyl Johnson as they're pretty similar to me.

[GoldHeart]

Jedward annoyed me too much so i missed most of that series :bored:
but i watched the final

[Mystic Mock]

Yeah you just missed Danyl then as he leaves in the semi-final.

If you don't mind me saying?

[GoldHeart]

If you like Andrea I think you would also like Danyl Johnson as they're pretty similar to me.

i just googled him i remember him now
didn't Danni make a comment about him changing the lyrics to a song ?

Danni irritated me
