Simon Cowell snubs Austin Drage
Monday, 3 November 2008
Simon Cowell didn't have any time to spare on Saturday night when Austin Drage was voted off.
Even though he was Austin's mentor he didn't seem to want to spend time with him.
Austin later told the official X Factor website: "He didn't have time. He had to shoot off. Haven't spoken to him. I'm not worried about it."
At least Cheryl Cole is treating her acts much better. She has invited Alexandra, Laura and Diana to her house for tea, bought them mobiles so they can contact her 24/7 and given them expensive presents.
Cheryl has been picking the perfect songs for her acts whereas Simon has made a few bad choices.
Austin wasn't a fan of his last song: "I knew the song wasn't right for me and I mentioned that. They did offer to change it, but I decided to trust in my mentor. I should have gone with my gut instinct.
"I don't really think I had a best song during the competition, I didn't feel I had the chance to show what I can do at my best. I could have performed other songs a lot better.
"But you've got to take it on the chin and accept that that's how it goes."
