Jamie Afro - X-Factor depressed and demoralised me.

Jamie Archer aka Jamie Afro has said he found his experience on the X-Factor "depressing" and "demoralising".

Speaking after he was voted of the show yesterday, Jamie said: "It was really demoralising for me, because it made me feel like 'Is it me? Am I being difficult? No-one knows what to do with me - maybe there just aren't any songs?' but I just got on with it really."

He denied reports that he had planned to walk of the show but admitted his relationship with Simon Cowell, his mentor on the show, occasionally came to boiling point.

"I didn't say I was leaving, I just said 'Maybe it's the wrong show for me'. It was after we did Unchained Melody and we tried it, and I had to change my song last minute.

"I said at this point 'Maybe this show isn't really the right show for me because we keep having to change my song, which means we quite clearly don't know what to do with me'."

Jamie Archer Heads to LA as Simon decides

It was the final stage in the selection process for the X-Factor finalists. Simon Cowell is the mentor for the over-25 group and he has flown Jamie Archer and five other contestant to his opulent home in LA.

On hand to greet them was Sinitta who seemed to be doing some sort of biblical impression and had come dressed as Eve or what else can you have made of her palm fonds





Well as distracting as it might have been, Jamie kept his eye on the job and realising as the Dermot O'Leary continues to remind us that this is a life changing opportunity for the 'fro.

Simon felt it was a heart felt version of Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out and that was enough to ensure Jamie was on his way back to London as one of the twelve finalists.
