What is it exactly that makes people dislike Katie so much?Yes ,she is a bit of a drama queen,but so is Cher,I do admit I much prefer Katies voice to Chers,I know she has had lots of bad press,but so have the others and do we REALLY believe any of it?she is quite good looking,so what is it that makes people hate her so much?I am serious and curious.

[fruit_cake]

I don't see how she's good looking, but I don't hate her I'm pretty indifferent to her really

[Niamh.]

I really don't think she has a good voice at all, I hate the theatrics and I feel it was so wrong for her to get a place on the lives shows at all

[Tom4784]

The tabloids like to pick out people and turn them into villains, you can't have a compelling story without your heroes and villains. I disregard it all, It's all tosh written by soon to be obsolete failed journalists whose career is fading before their eyes as the print industry is dying a slow painful death.

Katie's fine, she's got an interesting voice and stage presence which is more then you can say for soem others. It's the fact the tabloids have poisoned the stupid masses who've never had an individual thought for themselves against her. If she was a man she'd be a lot more popular.

[Mystic Mock]

shes annoying,has no stage pressence and isnt the best singer.

im actually starting to prefer chers voice to katies.

I DO agree that her or Cher should not have gotten through,but since they did,I cannot see why she SEEMS to be hated by people.I also agree that the tabloids also interfere,but surely people have more sense than believe them.

[Lee.]

I like her and don't really get the hate for her either. I agree she isn't the greatest singer in the competition, but she does have msomething.. She looks the part and in my opinion is ver entertaining. I actually love her face

well, I just find her irritating in general, her voice(speaking), the whole drama of everything, the fact that she's been in the bottom 3 times (rightly so) but the judges still haven't gotten rid of her eventhough it's clearly what the public want

The public are idiots though, Katie should have stayed over the people she bested in the bottom 2 as they all were quite terrible. FYD might as well have been a dance troupe, Belle Amie were never going to go anywhere and Treyc had a decent voice but no artistic drive, she was a lounge singer at best.

[tate]

i think hate is too strong a word though i cannot warm to her or like the girld. for me personally it is the desperation ... she reeks of it and reminds me of them type of women who will sleep with footballers just to get their mugs in to the news of the world on a sunday

it is a personal thing i think. i dislike anyone with that vein running through them, people with nothing but fame in mind and would step over their own mother for press attention ... katie price is a prime example of this and i see katie in that same thread

i must also add, i have barely noticed her voice or how she looks due to all of this. it is a shame, imo, that some people are so fame hungry that they cannot see that the fact that even though they may be a lovely person it is overshadowed by all of the drama, theatrics, press stories etc

on her 1st audition i remember 3 seconds after she had come on stage saying to my husband "this girl is gonna be trouble" then after her pleas to sing at last i remember remarking "nightmare" - i still feel this way now

Fair enough,I quite like that huskiness in her voice,lol.I prefer Wagner to go as I think it is now coming to the point where good singers will be voted out.I know the voters want to piss the judges off,but surely getting rid of Cher or Katie would be more effective in that respect.

Belle Amie should have stayed over Katie as well as Treyc. The Public (idiots) are the ones who will eventually be buying the music that the contestants make so their say should count imo

[LeatherTrumpet]

she has a certain Je ne sais pas

[Jack_]

For once I agree with you on something - the press and comments across various websites etc she is receiving is bordering on bullying, IMO. Some of the bile spouted has been absolutely disgusting. And I fail to understand what there is to hate about her? She's not murdered anyone, she's not committed any crimes - she's just ambitious. What's to hate about that? Some people are acting like she's a serial killer - it's pathetic.

I agree with Dezzy when it comes to the tabloids though, and I cannot believe masses off people lap it up. It baffles me how many gullible fools there are that will just believe anything they read and then pass on these stories to other fools, in turn making more and more people believe them. I just find it so...odd, how can people be so stupid?

Katie has a decent voice, not the strongest, but a nice tone. More importantly she has stage presence and personality, which as someone else said is more than can be said for a lot of the other contestants. And she also has the right image. She has the 'X Factor' - some people seem to mistake this as being purely a singing competition. It's not.

So I'm not sure what it is - either people don't like ambition, they're jealous, or they're just simply lapping up what they read in the papers. Whatever it is - they need to find something else to do, quite frankly.

She obviously doesn't have the X-Factor though, if she did people would actually like her!

Eh? Belle Amie were terrible - no stage presence, nothing individual about them whatsoever. TreyC was just the same, really.

Your opinion. I liked Belle Amie

[Vicky.]

I dont hate her. I just dont particularly like her...I dont think she should still be there. thats all.

Though i can think of a couple who are worse than her

People do like her.. the minority of very clever people who can see when someone has the X factor.. unluckily the Idiots in the Majority can't see it

Or maybe, I'll put myself out on a limb here...maybe they just, dont like her?

You dont have to be jealous or believe everything in the papers to not think someone is great

...or not, because as I said masses of people are lapping up the stories in the press and then letting it hinder their opinion of her. You can deny it all you want, but that's the truth and there is no denying that tabloids have a very large effect on things on TV and in the media [and often a negative impact - like here].

The 'X Factor' is made up of a number of different factors - vocal talent, stage presence, image and personality. She has three of those and a decent vocal talent. That's near enough the 'X Factor'. Whether people 'like' her or not is irrelevant, the public are ****ing clueless when it comes to these shows [especially recently] - eleven series' of Big Brother proved that.

I disagree, BA and Treyc had no potential, they'll be lighting up the Butlins stage at best. With Katie she's at least got a direction and her own style and she knows what she is and what she wants to do as an artist and she's certainly better suited to the stage then the people she put paid to in the singoff.

If we based it off sales then we'd have rubbish dance based artists and Duck Sauce winning the X Factor, just because something sells well or is popular doesn't mean it's good.

[Stacey.]

I do actually like her voice... and she seems sort of sweet aswell.

[tate]

have to say that i agree that you cannot believe everything read in the tabloids, however there is no smoke without fire and that girl seems to be carrying a lit match and a can of petrol
