There's been a lot of talk going round recently that X Factor hopefuls Katie Waissel and Cher Lloyd are pretty much hated by the general public - fellow finalist Matt Cardle is said today to have branded Katie a "fame hungry t***" (or something of the kind), whilst Cher has been booed out in public.
From what I see, both girls are fame-hungry and ambitious, and will stop at nothing to become the next Big Thing. And for that I applaud them.
Why is it in this country we are so ready to knock people down that want to be successful? You know, of all the X Factor contestants, Katie and Cher are the ones that I see true star quality in - they're confident, confident, confident, and you need that to survive in showbiz. It's a quality found in abundance in Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, the other Cher - you name it, they all have the same qualities as Cher Lloyd and Katie. They're ambitious, and they want their dream badly.
I'd be quite worried if they weren't fame hungry! If that were the case then they're definitely on the wrong show. If there's anybody on the X Factor who isn't seeking fame (Matt Cardle included), then they're lying. If any of them wanted to sing professionally to lots of people, they do not have to be on the X Factor to do that. They could quite easily do live gigs up and down the country, in Butlins for example. But it's quite obvious they all want fame and fortune, without exception. Katie and Cher just happen to have a lot more ambition over the rest of them, which they are probably jealous of.
I don't particularly favour Cher or Katie over any other, but they don't deserve the stick they are getting. They want to be rich, famous and successful, and who can blame them! Good for Katie for being fame-seeking - at least she has the guts to go for her dream full throttle. If I'm paying good money to go to someone's concert, I want to go and see someone who I know is enjoying the performance as much as I am, who is completely confident in themselves and will 100% deliver a good show and know it. That's what all successful artists do. That's what makes a popstar.
Hitch your wagon to a star, girls, and don't settle for anything less.
Vive ambition!
