Friedman still an unprofessional ranter - The X Factor

googleking · 09-11-2009, 01:56

Keep hearing him on the radio news tonight, he says he is very annoyed that the twins went through.

What's wrong with this muppet? Why can he not stick to his job impartially and just do the dance routines and cut out the whinging to the newspapers and other media about them?

I have some customers on my books (I'm a freelancer) that I don't like, but I just get on and deal with them without slagging them off all the time.

I think Brian Friedman has still not recovered from the ego crushing he got when he was removed as a judge...now he's even more crushed that Jedward are more famous than him...

Hehe. He's a cocky little thing isn't he.

I agree with "little" but would substitute "leech" for "thing."

Why is Brian Friedman annoyed at the twins getting through? I should have thought that he would be pleased as they are his biggest production number each week and give him the chance to show off his 'creative direction' or whatever it is he is supposed to do.

Brian doesn't seem that bad to me. Chances are it's just some off the cuff soundbyte they got out of him after the show; even though he likes the twins, maybe he thought it should be more about the singing. If somebody isn't 100% consistent in what they say for months on end, doesn't make them unprofessional or cocky.

I watched J&E's sing off last night without all the dancers prancing around them and rather enjoyed it.
It's Brian Friedman's choreography that's ruining the show for me.

I thought so too - they're perfectly able to hold a stage without his choreography.

Maybe he's just realised the same thing!

He was probably embarresed because vocally it was possibly the best performance they gave! Also their dancing last night looked the same as when Brian gives them a routine minus the gimmics.

Who is this Brian Friedman that people are talking about on this thread?

oathy · 09-11-2009, 11:44

did you see that? He wants BACK as a judge??

thats the problem..Cowell Can be ruthless but with hangers on Like Friedman/Sinitta keeping them around they start to belive the BS.

Brians routines are so OTT and Freaky this year..he ruined Joes song with all that arty Farty crap going on behind him.

Think 'bald, big ears, scruffy stubble, teeth of a pirahna' and you'll get him.

He's behaving like choreographer Kevin Adams did on Fame Academy, particularly the second series, where he took every opportunity to rip into the contestants that he didn't like or that the show wanted to paint in a less than favourable light.

I didn't think it was his place to do so and I don't think it's Brian's.

Neither of them beat Sinitta for muppetry though.

Tut, tut, tut ... "creative director" is his title according to his column in Heat or similar magazine .... LOL LOL LOL

By the way, is it Brian who seems determined to have every act appear on stage by being lowered from some sort of prop????

Heat may need a dictionary.
If he is the ''creative director'', of the show, then he is also responsible for all tacky costumes, garish set colours ,lighting and possibly, camera work.[doubt the latter]
As a choreographer he appears to direct the dancers on stage, then plonk the contestants wherever there's any space left for them.
