Friedman wants bigger 'X Factor' role

[Perdita]

X Factor's creative director Brian Friedman has claimed that he should get a chance to respond to the show's judges.

The choreographer admitted that he gets "frustrated" when his routines and staging are criticised on the live shows and wants an opportunity to argue back.

"The judges are allowed an opinion, but I get frustrated. I'd like to be able to fight my cause," Friedman explained. "I'm not afraid to take the blame for something they think is bad, because I stand by my vision.

"I love choreographing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to give my two cents, as I'm very opinionated. A balance between the two would be nice."

Friedman revealed that he was particularly annoyed when Cheryl Cole complained about his use of "dated" sequinned jackets in a routine for boyband JLS.

"I didn't think their jackets were dated at all," he said. "They were made recently, they fitted great, and they looked smooth.

"Who's Cheryl to say sequins are dated? Especially when Diana [Vickers] has been onstage in a beaded dress with crystals on her head. I thought Cheryl was a bit hypocritical. She was just doing it for the reaction."


Ohh, could mean more spats :lol:

they want to fire that useless pillock rather than give him a bigger role

I don't see the problem in it. I mean, not after every performer. But when they critisise the performance, give the guy a chance to defend his work. Must take a lot of effort to put it all together, even if you don't like him, he probably puts in more work than all of the judges do.

I agree with that, he is a professional and it is normal for us to not like everything he comes up with. He should be able to explain why he chose the costume/dance routine etc. which might make it easier for the viewers to understand what statement he tried to make.

Even though I don't like him, I think it would be nice to see his reasoning behind some of what he does with certain acts.. but personally, I really don't see the point in him being on the show - I liked the simple format when the singer's just sang and didn't bother with dancers and there was no hassle over what they wore etc... getting Brian Friedman involved just means we witness many of his bad ideas on stage, when I'm sure the contestants would be just fine without him.
