Alisha gets boot
By Kevin Widdop
SHOCKED Sharon Osbourne was left without
an act in X Factor last night as Alisha Bennett was voted off.
Gym receptionist Alisha, 23, said: “I did all that I can
do.”
Sharon - now left to vote on the other judges’ acts - said:
“I will now be the only impartial judge. I have got nothing
to win or lose.”
READ ALISHA'S FINAL
INTERVIEW
Alisha got her marching orders - with Louis Walsh giving the casting
vote - after being left in the final two with Simon Cowell’s
girl band Hope.
Louis told her: “It’s a really hard decision - I
either break one girl’s heart or five girls’ hearts.”
ALISHA TELLS OF HIGHS, LOWS AND FUTURE PLANS
Alisha from Wembley, North London, sang Young Hearts Run Free
by Candi Staton.
Hope had belted out Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) by
Abba as contestants battled it out in disco week.
Sharon and Simon had earlier clashed over whether roller skaters
had been used effectively in Alisha's performance. They were ditched
for the sing-off.
Simon said: "It was a complete and utter mess.
"It would help if you got people who could roller skate and
there was one point when they were all falling about you.
"And you sang out of tune, Alisha."
Sharon fired back: "You [SIMON]hire, you fire.
"It's not up to me who hires the dancers. I get a pay cheque
every week, that's all."
Simon added: "You could have stopped it from happening, of
course you could."
As Alisha's best bits were shown, an emotional Sharon put her
hand on her heart and said: "I can't say it on camera.
"She knows what's in here.
"She's a class act, she really is.”
