Soldier tipped as new \'X Factor\' winner
 
Quote:
A soldier who served in Iraq is already being tipped as a potential winner of the new X Factor series.

Izi, 22, visited the Wales auditions and caused a stir in the waiting area before impressing the judges with a performance of Lean On Me, which he followed up with another Bill Withers hit, Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone.

Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and new judge Dannii Minogue have already put him through to the boot camp stage, and believe that he has the potential to go all the way.

A show source told the Daily Star: "It's the first time we've had a soldier. He arrived at the auditions in Wales dressed in combats and he raised quite a few eyebrows. He's very good looking and everyone was buzzing around him when they found out that he had served in Iraq, telling him how brave he was.

"The judges were amazed by his talents. He is certainly a fave for the final. And he'll be a natural for the X Factor boot camp."

Oh god. I hate people that have sob stories just to win...

Ruth*Star 03-08-2007 10:48 PM
I don't like people with sob stories, i like people with singing ability to win not because they have a little sob story.

Billy 03-08-2007 10:50 PM
In sayin that I liked NIkitta, but she was a good singer aswell as I normally hate people with sob stories

So you guys are saying just cos hes been in Iraq, he doesnt deserve to live his dream?

Nice

LargeAndInCharge 23-08-2007 07:18 PM
no i dont think they are saying that but it comes across that way.

in iraq its **** and its no sob story

Tom4784 23-08-2007 07:20 PM
Good for him if he has talents, but turning up in combat gear? I can tell you now he is trying to milk it to get through.

LargeAndInCharge 23-08-2007 07:21 PM
explain why he would milk it dezzy

Tom4784 23-08-2007 07:23 PM
Because he made it a point to say he fought in Iraq, he said it so it would help his chances obviously. Which is despicable to say people have died over there and it sounds like he is using it to help him win a talent show.

Wasted 23-08-2007 07:25 PM
We should wait until we actually see him before judging if he deserves it or not. I usually ignore any background stories and pick my favourites based on talent, I don't favour or go against anyone because any kind of background story they have.

LargeAndInCharge 23-08-2007 07:25 PM
well yes there was no need to go to the auditions in his combat gear really

Good Luck to him but we havent even heard him sing so he could be crap

If he's tipped as a winner I doubt he's crap. LOL

He was on this week's show, and he wasn't great at all. If he gets far without showing any huge improvement, then it's only because of his story.

GlitterEyes 28-08-2007 12:16 PM
I didn't think he was that bad or that good either. He was a nice enough sounding and looking guy who has potential. He was one in about 5 sob stories we have had so I hope people are not hypocritical in liking one and yet complaining about anothers story lol.

sexy_leigh 29-08-2007 11:43 AM
he weren't good and i know that if he had been a normal person who sang like that no way would he have gotten through and it's unfair for those that have to their sob story to get through!!!

Matt08 29-08-2007 10:04 PM
I think sometimes people like him use their stories to win things.

Matt 03-10-2007 03:08 PM
Well, this quite obviously wasn't true - he didn't even make it through boot camp part 1! :laugh2:
