This week was the X-Factor semi finals and with it all being down on public votes it was always going to be close. Remaining contestants Misha B, Amelia Lily, Marcus Collins & Little Mix all sung average and not one shone out of the crowd and made me go wow and want to pick up the phone.
But to be honest, when do they ever make me vote? In fact who does pay to vote for these contestants because I have never known anyone who does apart from those that are family or close family. Well after 'thousands' of supposed votes had poured in it came down to Misha B & Amelia Lily in the bottom two. Not unusual really that both of the best singers in the competition are in the bottom two as this is normally the case. Misha B ended up leaving the competition just one week before the finals.
Surprised? I wasn't. She had been tarred from the very beginning after being found out to be a so called bully and that will never win you votes will it! Previous rounds had seen her in the bottom two multiple times only to be saved by the judges who obviously knew she was one of the very best the competition had ever had. The bullying claims had done their damage and the whole nation knew about them as well due to the media plastering it all over the front pages & news.
It just shows how powerful the media is in this country. It can literally wreck hopes and dreams of every single one of us regardless of if what's printed is the truth or not. To the journalists, or should I say vultures, every potential story grabs another few thousand readers and that means more money in their back pockets as we as a nation love to read a good story especially when its revealing something about someone in the limelight. Misha B was just another victim of the media as her history came back to haunt her.
