I'm not sure why it's any of their business, but former X-Factor contestants G4 have criticised judges Simon Cowell and Walsh for taking up too much time in this year's contest with their continuous fake feud.
The popera group's Ben Thapa told the Sun: "Watching the show is frustrating, because we know the judges aren't like that backstage. It's pure pantomime. Simon and Louis are actually really good mates and work on several projects together. It's silly. The judges are hogging more airtime than the contestants."
Bandmate Matt Stiff continued: "Backstage Simon would say we were great, but then on camera say nothing. I don't think he wanted us to win and by choosing what he said on camera he knew he had the power to sway votes. He is the ringmaster."
Jonathan Ansell added: "When the contestants walk on stage the audience clap - that's what the X Factor is about. But then the famous singers come on and it's all whoops and cheers. The show is not about them. Simon needs to give the new talent support, not the old talent."
