Don't agree with this either. These are Syco's current artists:

# Westlife (2002–present)
# Il Divo (2004–present)
# Shayne Ward (2005–present)
# Leona Lewis (2006–present)
# Alexandra Burke (2008–present)
# Andrew Johnston (2008–present)
# Susan Boyle (2009–present)
# Joe McElderry (2009–present)
# Olly Murs (2010–present)
# Labrinth (2010–present)[6]
# Jackie Evancho (2010-present)

Seven of those are artists from TV talent shows. Their previous artists are exactly the same, except there's eight:

* Gareth Gates (2002–2006, dropped/left)[8]
* Steve Brookstein (2004–2005, dropped)
* Bianca Ryan (2006–2008, dropped/left)
* Angelis (2006–2007, dropped/disbanded)
* Leon Jackson (2007–2009, dropped)
* Same Difference (2007–2009, dropped)[9]
* George Sampson (2008–2009, dropped)[10]
* Rhydian (2007–2010, left)[11]
* Paul Potts (2007–2010, dropped/left)[12]
* Escala (2008–2010, dropped)

All the attention will be on them. And the fact that they don't make their own music is irrelevant, considering 90% of mainstream artists nowadays don't make their own music. It's the world we live in - that's the way the market works.



Regarding her voice - fair enough.

Regarding the 'other talented girls' - I disagree, as although they had good vocal talent, they had no stage presence or personality and Katie's image is/was far superior to theirs. I genuinely think Cheryl picked the right three initially, they were easily the most diverse and interesting of the eight - that's something that not only makes a good category, but it makes a good show as well - and of course entertainment is the main factor in creating this show.

Regarding the 'sod it' - like I said, how do you think she feels after being subjected to weeks and weeks of unnecessary abuse and bile being spouted at her in the press and online? She must feel hated. And for someone that's done nothing wrong, except star in a television show [where Cheryl decided to put her through, not herself] and be ambitious - that's got to be hard to deal with. People act like she's murdered someone. It's no surprise that one day she would get fed up with it and so she just happened to think aloud 'sod it'. I think she expected she would be going anyway [like we all did, including myself] - and so there was, essentially, no 'point'.

They are my reasons for disliking her, why are you so sure that's her reason for saying sod it? Do you not think it's more likely that it was because...........she........I dunno........forgot the words to the song.............again?

No - or else she would've just given up completely or said so, like she did last time, wouldn't she?

I think the fact that she brokedown in tears and distress both last week and this week proves that she is on the edge of being, if not emotionally unstable. And why would that be?

Not on a live show no I dont think so.

Cos she knows she's not good enough and the public want her out maybe? She'd want to toughen up a bit if she cant handle a nit of bad press, she wouldn't last two minutes in the spot light if that's the case

...or maybe that she's been on the receiving end of endless, disgusting comments and press, like I said?

A 'bit' of bad press? Really? There's been far more than just a 'bit' of bad press...

And to be fair all of these acts are just starting out in the spotlight, one minute they were nobodies and the next minute they've been thrown into the public eye. It's a very fast moving process and something that I'm sure everyone can imagine, takes a lot of getting used to. I'm sure once she's got used to the industry she'd adjust to the negative press she's bound to receive - but after five weeks in a TV talent show, I think you're asking for a bit much, to be quite honest.

what disgusting comments exactly? all I've seen is articles about her being melo dramatic which she seems to back up every week on the show and that she doesn't deserve to be on the show after messing up her audition which I fully agree with.

Danyl last year was subjected to worse press imo and he never fell apart like she did

Well for starters the nickname 'Weasel' isn't exactly nice, is it? And then there's the small matter of people on internet forums criticising her appearance [mainly her chin] - both examples of what bullies in schools tend to pick on. And then there's the people that have called her, or insinuated that she is a 'slag' - hardly the nicest of comments either.

Oh and then there's the tags of the 'Most Hated Reality TV Contestant Ever' or 'National Hate Figure' in the press. How would that make someone feel?

Danyl received nowhere near as bad [or as much] press as Katie does.

Oh get a grip Jack, she's not the first nor will she be the last, X-Factor, BB or any reality show contestant to get mocked. If she can't take the heat she needs to get out of the kitchen.
