Another X-Factor winner dropped
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 18 April 2011
Joe What’s-His-Name has joined Thingimy and That Bloke on the list of former ‘X-Factor’ winners to be spat out by the Syco pop machine, or at least that’s what the tabloids were reporting last week.
Perhaps Team Syco are now too busy making proper music with Labrinth to be bothering with wannabe pop-boys, even the gay ones. Or perhaps Joe’s debut album – yes, he did release one – just didn’t sell enough units. Feeling bad for buying ‘Killing In The Name’ and depriving him of his one moment of pop glory now?
Initial tabloid reports said McElderry – for that is his name – was devastated to be dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label, though he subsequently told paps he was doing just fine. Fans shouldn’t worry too much, the word on the ground is that the South Shields Tesco is currently recruiting.
