Gary Barlow: 'Last year's X Factor contestants became lazy"
Quote:
Gary Barlow has admitted that last year's X Factor contestants quickly became complacent.
In an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine, the Take That star revealed that he was surprised at how arrogant some of the hopefuls became.
"One of the biggest shocks for me last year was how quickly people become lazy once they get into this competition," he said.
"I found myself thinking, 'Hold on, this is just the start. You haven't made it yet. Even if you win it is just the start.'"
The 'Patience' singer mentored the boys category last year, which included controversial contestant Frankie Cocozza. The then 18-year-old - who was eventually disqualified from the competition - was frequently criticised for his weak performances and off-stage attitude.
"It is weird," Barlow said. "You take people off the street and put them in this bubble and they start to act like they have arrived.
"You can see them thinking, 'I was born to do this, I don't have to work at it'."
I understand how it is about Frankie, but how is he talking about Kitty though? She actually worked really hard.
She was always going to Louis with performance ideas and arrangements all the time.

Oh. I didn't know that. From what people told me about her, she was a diva and Lady Gaga wannabe.
