Nicole S, Tulisa dragged by former talent show judge

'Nobody respects Tulisa', says Neil Fox
Quote:
Dr' Neil Fox has backed Tulisa Contostavlos's firing from The X Factor, telling Digital Spy that nobody "has got any respect" for the troubled star.
Fox, who appeared alongside X Factor boss Simon Cowell as a Pop Idol judge in the early noughties, said that Sharon Osbourne was a superior replacement for the N-Dubz singer, who was arrested on drug fixing charges shortly after her axing in May.
Speaking to DS at the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, Fox commented: "I think you have a respect for Sharon Osbourne. No-one, to be fair, has got any respect for Tulisa.
"What has she done? Has she got a body of work that if she criticises you you can really take it on the chin? You kind of go, 'No - your last record didn't even make the Top 20'. You need judges [who] know what they're on about."
Fox also stated his belief that X Factor fans are more interested in how Nicole Scherzinger looks than her expert opinion.
"I think Nicole had a good year last year, but do I really give a monkeys what she says?" he asked. "I've got to be honest, no. Most people worry about what did she look like that week."
He added: "Gary's musical credibility is amazing but as a judge is he always going to say what he thinks, because he's got to remember he's got another Take That album coming out shortly."
Fox went on to say that although he thinks X Factor is "an awesome show", later series have been "too much about the judges" and "become lost in the money and the bling.
"X Factor was a great derivative from Pop Idol and it's become a massive show," he said. "Personally I think they've become a bit lost in the money and the bling, that's why people aren't watching anymore."
