Futureproof star: "Hope can't sing"

Axed X Factor contestant Adam Chandler has claimed that the show's girl group Hope "can't sing".

Adam, who was a member of Futureproof, mocked the girls' skimpy outfits and suggestive routines after performing at the Triangle Shopping Centre, Manchester.

Futureproof were voted off in week three after competing against Hope in the final showdown. The judges decided that Hope had a better chance at long-term success and voted to save them.

"A lot of people were shocked we got voted out, particularly as Hope can't sing," Adam is quoted by The Sun as saying.

"Perhaps if we'd taken our tops off we'd still be in the competition. Or if we'd given Simon Cowell a lapdance."
