X Factor - Controversy for Contostavlos!

So did anyone watch X Factor on Saturday night? I definitely did! In fact, it has been the hot topic between me and, well, anyone I can possibly talk to about it!
The new judges are, in my opinion, brilliant. I went to see the X Factor auditions live in Cardiff a few months ago and didn't expect much at all from a judging panel including the never quitting Louis Walsh and the new line up of Tulisa Contostavlos (N-Dubz,) Gary Barlow (Take That,) and Kelly Rowland (Destiny's Child.) But obviously, I was mistaken.
The judges make the X Factor even funnier and more exciting than before, although Simon Cowell will be missed, but I'm sure he won't fail to make a come back at some point in the series.
Saturday's show was kicked off with an array of singing geniuses including Janet Devlin , a sixteen year old girl who sang 'Your Song' so beautifully that is brought tears to my eyes.
Along with the talent that surprised Saturday's audience, there was inevitably the let down performances. In other words, the people who think they can sing, but they really can't.
The most memorable performance of Saturday's show was of course an audition with some well loved drama included,  man named George Gerasimou, who claimed to have calmed down since the last time he auditioned for the X Factor in 2009, when he lost his temper with Simon Cowell, famously telling him to 'shut up'. However, George's performance proved that he had not changed at all, when he was stopped half way through his audition, his fiery temper came back with a vengeance.
George turned to Tulisa, saying “Why did you stop the music. Who are you? You’re just someone trying to replace Cheryl Cole." This obviously is not the right thing to say to the N-Dubz singer, who hit back saying: "I don't think your attitude has changed at all. You came and stood right next to me, and I felt a lot of aggression off you. You're very angry. It's not a good vibe.” Contostavlos continued, "You’re here to be judged, and you know what you’ve just done? You’ve embarrassed yourself to the entire nation. I worked myself up from Camden Town and that’s why I’m here today."
At this point in the show, I probably wasn't the only person jumping up out of their seat at home, shouting "Go Tulisa" at the TV screen.
She later admitted that "If it was 10 years ago I would have, (hit him) but I'm an X Factor judge now and I'm not allowed to do things like that."
Let's hope poor Tulisa doesn't get anymore comments about being Cheryl Cole's replacement, as it really seemed to hit her where it hurt, but can you blame her? She has been accused of copying Cheryl's clothes, shoes and hairstyles.
I, for one, will be looking forward to next week's show, and if it contains auditions like last weeks, it will definitely be one to watch!
