Ex-'X Factor' Singer Says Deal Cut For His Exit

India TV News  

Los Angeles, Nov 2: Former “The X Factor” contestant Dexter Haygood said he wasn't pushed off Fox's new singing contest. According to Haygood, 49, who was part of mentor-judge Nicole Scherzinger's group of age 30-plus contestants, he told Scherzinger two days before last Wednesday's live performance show that he was dissatisfied with “X Factor.” “I wanted to leave the show because I was unhappy that I was unable to be a rock artist. Fox gave “X Factor” a lavish promotional launch but the show hasn't lived up to the 20 million weekly viewers predicted by Cowell, with 12.1 million watching last Tuesday's show. Although Haygood said he was willing to play along before he was cut, he decided he owed it to himself and fans he made through “X Factor” to tell his side of events.
