Diamond White was one of the first contestants eliminated from season 2 of The X Factor, leaving fans and viewers shocked and outraged! While Britney Spears claims the decision to let one of her protege go was “hard to do,” she had her reasons for cutting Diamond.
“It was really just dreadful [sending her home], because I love Diamond, but one had to go so you have to make that decision and it’s really tough because they’re so incredibly talented, you know. She has an amazing voice for such a young age and it’s really hard to do that,” Britney told HollywoodLife.com. In light of Diamond’s elimination, Arin Ray was saved.
So where did the two differ?
“I was… um… I was looking for that eye of the tiger, that it factor, that something that just kind of wows you and takes you in and you just kind of know. So that’s why I made my decision,” Britney added.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Britney make the right decision by sending Diamond home?
Britney didn't decide though, producers are the ones who make all the decisions about who gets eliminated and they help the contestants rehearse and come up with their performances. Britney doesn't spend hours helping them put a show together she just films a small segment with her team so it makes it look like she has been helping them the whole time.
I still don't think she made the right choice in sending her home, but does it really matter. We're all going to forget about all of these contestants after the show ends anyways
