Wagner X Factor support hots up
Saturday 27th November 2010, 11:29AM GMT.
More than 60,000 fans have now signed up to an internet campaign in support of eccentric X Factor contender Wagner Carrilho as he seeks to keep his place in the TV contest tonight.
The official web page for the former PE teacher from Pensnett on the social network website Facebook now has some 60,397 members, including supporters from across the world.
Another page on the site called Wagner To Win has now signed up almost 45,000 supporters of the Brazilian-born singer.
Meanwhile, 20,000 have joined a group called Rage Against The X Factor, Vote For Wagner, Keep Him In.
The 54-year-old is thought to have been attracting huge numbers of votes in the show as part of a campaign to undermine X Factor boss Simon Cowell and bookies have slashed the odds on him winning to 10-1.

Wake up all you X factor fan fools….. you are being taken advantage of, the results are set the winner is already known !
The talentless Wagner is there for the advantage of ratings only.

This show has lost all its credibility now – its like listening to bad karaoke from the remaining artists, Its more about the judges and their egos than the potential artists. Cheryl Tramp Stamp Cole sickens me and its about time, she was rejected by the British public – she has no talent or appeal whatsoever and makes me feel ashamed to be from Newcastle.
This is uber-chav television at its best.

If Wagner had a heart or a thought for his fellow contestants he would bow out and live on the fame and fortune he can make and let a real singer win. His so called fans can pay his subsidised one bedroomed disabled bungalow rent and invalidity benefit. Let’s five real talent a chance.

You must be kidding no-one has any talent on XFACTOR… If they are good enough they would get picked up by someone after serving time doing the rounds at pubs and clubs like real talent of the past has had to do… Dont remember the Beatles,Oasis, Rolling Stones etc… ever appearing on such pathetic programme as that drivvle on a saturday night. Its a fix and always will be thats the only way he could have got rid of Wagner was to make sure he was in the bottom 3. Wagner was awful but at least he took the mickey out of the programme
