X Factor ‘Nutter’ Shirlena Johnson Proves Why We Love Cynical Simon’s Show
SHIRLENA Johnson will not be on the X Factor again. The Tiger Wood’s look-alike’s mangled version of Mercy by Duffy was the most interesting thing on the show.
At one point she squatted down on the stage and while we looked for a telltale puddle, she grunted and sighed. Was this was the X Factor’s watershed moment (literally) when the show would go X-rated?
Well, no. The autotune machine in Simon Cowell’s head flashed into life and put Shirlene through to Boot Camp. Said he:
“I have to say I love you – you’re completely crazy, but I like that.”
Now that she has been kicked out for having mental illness (something she denies), he adds:
“I’m devastated. It’s heartbreaking. Shirlena desperately wanted to do this to make a better life for herself and her daughter. I feel she may now struggle to do that.”
Thanks, Simon, for proving that the X Factor is the most cynical show on the magic box – which is why the auditions make such good viewing.
