Simon blames Dannii for Stacey's departure

Dannii Minogue

X Factor boss Simon Cowell has blamed Stacey Solomon’s departure last night on her mentor and fellow judge Dannii Minogue, saying that she tried to make Stacey into ‘Leona Mark II’. Cowell added that he thought Stacey, who finished in 3rd place last night was ‘a really good singer’.

Cowell told News Of The World: “If Stacey were to win the show, we would have to go right back to where she started from when we first saw her.

“I would take her out of those stupid ballgowns and stop her trying to sound like Leona. I think she is a really good singer but all her originality has been stripped away from her.

“Dannii is trying to make her Leona Mark II and you can’t do that. When Stacey sang Coldplay she was so good they sent her a platinum disc. She needs to do something that’s interesting.”

Tonight Olly and Joe will battle it out to win the show, tune in to ITV1 from 7:30PM!
