Former contestant Craig Colton has praised X Factor judge Gary Barlow after he was voted off the competition last week. He admitted that the Take That singer has been of immense support to him and claimed that Barlow has vowed
to back him even after he is out of the reality show.
The singer insisted that Barlow has helped him become a great singer and has been the main inspiration. He also expressed his disappointment on being voted out as he thought he had the potential to go on and win the X Factor.
Craig Colton faced a shock exit this Sunday when he had to leave the competition after a public vote saw him behind fellow contestant Amelia Lily. The Liverpool man was widely being considered as the favourite to win the competition
until a week back but an average performance on James Bond track ‘Licence to Kill’ saw him in the bottom two.
Colton stated that Gary Barlow has been a great friend apart from being a mentor in the show. He insisted that Gary has helped him develop into a fine singer and added that he was fortunate enough to fall in his category in the
end.
The former contestant also talked of the amazing support he got from the judges and hailed the show for giving him the fame and recognition.
“He wasn’t just a mentor; he became a really good friend. Gary is going to help me. After Judges’ Houses, I kept in touch with Robbie as well. He’s been really supportive. I’m passionate about song writing and he’s been helping
me with that. He demonstrated on a few of his own tracks how he wrote them,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to The Sun.
The singer admitted that his choice of song in the last week could have been better. He added that the song is the most important thing to stay in the show but was convinced with his overall performance.
“If there is one lesson to be learned, it’s that song choice is everything in the competition,” he concluded.
The next Live Show will be held on Saturday.
