I  so agree with lynne barrett-lee and ssx. I too have been a massive X Factor and Simon fan since it all began but following AUSTIN so unjustly being take out of the show, I too have lost interest and question the credibility of the show! HOW CAN THESE TOP PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAVE LET THE PHENOMENAL AUSTIN DRAGE WALK AWAY? They are so wrapped up in their own glory and have put their success in the show before AUSTIN'S dream and his future! ...Cheryl & Louis in particular!

I agree with all the other comments, Austin is one of the best singers I have ever listened to and find it hard to believe he has been voted off. Let's hope that SC has seen his potential and signs him so that we can all benefit from his talents for years to come.

I for one am looking forward to Austin becoming a credible peformer with a long career. My family and I will not be watching the X Factor again.

I guess the X Factor team has published this video to discredit Austin and justify the appalling decision made by the judges. Let me get this right - it's acceptable to vote a good performer off to give a bad performer another chance?!!!!!!! Austin is better off out of this farce - he's too good for a karaoke show like this. The X Factor no longer has credibility - EVERYONE was talking about terrible this decision was. The good thing is that Austin's talents are being widely discussed.

I remain SO disappointed by what happened last week - and like many others here am completely disallusioned about the consistency and professionalism of the judges - Cheryl and Louis specifically, in getting rid of one of the biggest talents in the competition. Having followed the show since will Young, this is the first time I've lost all interest and respect for the TV you're making here. I hope head honcho SC signs Austin forthwith, and restires our faith. Such a loss.

Mid-week and we are fast approaching Live Show 5. We have so far lost Bad Lashes, Girlband, Scott Bruton and most recently Austin Drage. Who do we think will survive this saturday's show, and any Mariah Carey classic's you'd love to hear? X
