Sad Laura's moonlit flit

09 Nov 08

 

Laura White left the X Factor house at 4am this morning.

Devastated Laura White was "shocked and gutted" when the public voted her out of The X Factor competition last night.

The 21 year-old from Atherton near Bolton lost the judges' vote 3-1 after finding herself in the bottom two in Mariah Carey week. And, previously thought of as a show favourite, it was hard for Laura to take in the heart-wrenching news she was suddenly out.

Usually X Factor contestants return to the house for a good night's sleep before facing a round of interviews on the Sunday morning. But Laura was so sad she fled to family who were staying nearby.

Laura told us, "I was devastated."

"I went back to the house to see all the contestants, and say goodbye to them. I packed my bags and went to stay with my family."

"I was heartbroken. I just wanted to be with my mum".

just read your Laura update.. you need to stand corrected the public did not vote her out..your biased, save your own crummy act judges did, and after slating ruth for Mariah scary week, and the week before saying the only good thing about ruth was her dress!! then had the cheek to keep her in because she puts up a fight... how rubish is that.. we all know this is a singing contest..Laura was clearly the better singer.. you sad bunch of losers have really lost public respect..and viewers.

Laura - I do hope you read this - You will get your big break and make it in the record industry - your voice will be heard in the future and I wish you all the luck. Will buy your first record release.....

Laura I wish you nothing but the best - you have an amazing talent and deserve to have your music heard. Pls do not let Louis and Simon dishearten you - they both made a fool of themselves on Sat night. I used to resepct them but no more, it was a disgrace. Heard your songs on memusic - fantastic

This is all Louis Walsh's falut!!! he's doing it on purpose!!! Is this show about the participants or about the judges??? they say they will vote fairly and yet when it comes down to the bottom two even if a participant does not do well, their mentor vote for them? does that makes any sense??? its about the participants not the judges!!!! we and the judges should vote for the ones who have an acutal talent like Laura white... and coming back to louis walsh, remember hes the one who voted...cont.

Laura, you have the best voice by far. We remember you from the auditions when you absolutely blew us away. We just cannot understand why you ended up in the bottom 2 - or Ruth for that matter! If it's about talent, and everybody we know agrees that Laura has the best voice - what went wrong. Did the count get messed up? It simply doesn't make sense. We're boycotting the show now - it's not worth watching anymore!

hello Laura, it was an absoulote joke that u were voted off by the judges on sat. U have alot of talent. and i dont understand y louis voted u out, i think the x factor has an hidden agenda this year. maybe it it a blessing in desguise, as sometimes reality tv is not always the way to go in the music industry these days. And at least the public know who u are. Cheryl seems so genuine on the show, and still down to earth. I hope you still get signed with someone. lia glasgow x

Simon and Louis should be ashamed of themselves. We watched Leona Lewis win X Factor deservedly because she had an amazing voice, she didn't however have an amazing personality or massive amounts of charisma and Laura White came out of that same mould. I think all the viewers know that Laura was voted out for one reason only and that was because she was going to win. It's sad that a show like X Factor can't hold its credability. I for one won't watch anymore!
