Has Austin Drage wrecked his X Factor dreams?
Thursday, 9 October 2008
Poor Austin Drage hasn't even sung yet but he could be facing the boot on Saturday after the X Factor stylists ruined his chances.
All twelve acts have had makeovers to try and make them look glam but Austin's new look is terrible.
The other acts are all thrilled with their new looks but we think Austin should complain to show producers, otherwise he could lose all his female supporters.
His spooky fridge is a carbon copy of Tobey Maguire's evil look in Spiderman 3. We don't think X Factor fans are going to like it one bit.
Austin told the official X Factor website: "When I first saw my hair, I was like; it's all a bit Paul Weller meets A Flock of Seagulls.
"To start with, I wasn't keen. But I now know why it's good to trust other people's opinions."
Even Austin's family didn't approve of his new look.
He explains: "My friends and family had a bit of a laugh when they first saw me and gave me a bit of a ribbing - but now they say they like it".
"And it's grown on me. It was a lot of fun to do...and, you know, it's a hairstyle. I'm not going to be Duran Duran for the rest of my life!"
