Simon Cowell should hang his head in shame

You should be ashamed of yourself, Simon Cowell.

For weeks you've been ranting that the X Factor is a singing competition and Jedward don't deserve votes. And last night you praised Lucie for her great performance.

So why on earth didn't you vote to keep her in? Instead you looked insufferably smug, milking your power for all it was worth, before saying you wanted to see the twins - who you called vile little creatures, remember? - come back.

Your behaviour is inconsistent and mean. Lucie should still be in the X Factor.
