X-Factor reject Anastasia Baker isn’t a happy bunny.
Check out her interview with tabloid rag The Sun.
Admittedly Anastasia does come off as sounding a little jealous, but for the most part she speaks the truth, and she has every right to feel angry. However I have to disagree when she describes Cher Lloyd as being “unique”. A slightly crazed teenager who mimics her favourite US Hip Hop/R&B acts while performing their songs in an off keys fashion is far from “unique” in my book!
I think it’s safe to say that Anastasia has now been effectively blacklisted.. well at least here in the UK.

I think that it is easy to palm this woman off as being bitter, but she’s speaking the truth, i think that much of this “Cheryl Racism” was whipped up by the media, but there is gonna be a feeling of favouritism, and a feeling that you can’t win, e when everybody can see that you that you are more talented & dedicated than someone else, and you can’t progress, and they do.
why would she do this?…has she quit singing cause she just ran her mouth on the most powerful ppl in UK music..i hope she atleast got paid.
OKAY!! Suffice to say that Anastasia is very disappointed. Two things – I think she has played right into The Sun’s hands. They are not interested in Anastasia – the real story is Cheryl Cole and Cher and they are using Anastasia to get some info on the two of them. Secondly, Anastatsia has been through X Factor for five years?!! Really? I think she really needs to look at other ways of getting into the music industry. X Factor is not the only route. Also I wonder if she actually thought about what would happen if she got into the live final. How long would she last? Two weeks or three and then she would disappear into anonymity like all the other people whose names fail me. Anastasia is not only talented but a beautiful lady and I think somewhere along the line someone will see that and give her a break that she and all the other sisters who busted their asses on X Factor so deserve.

Keep, keep On…. Never Say Die….
When in the midst of sorrow
You can’t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring
You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this cannot weigh me down *
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic
If things around you crumble
No, you don’t have to stumble and fall
Keep pushing on and don’t you look back
I know the storms and strife
Cloud up your outlook on life
Just think ahead and you’ll be inspired
To reach higher and higher.
You’ll always do your best
If you learn to never say never
You maybe down, but you’re not out.
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky (you can win child!)
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic
Don’t you let no body stop you…..
Be optimistic
You can win, Yes
Never say die….

How would you know? Were you at boot camp – did you see Cher out partying or not packing a coat? I think what this woman is saying may be the truth, but who can really say, it could also be lies.
Well it’s obvious that Anastasia is just bitter, but she has a right to be, however, if she ever gets into the music industry she needs to be more media-savvy. The Sun are just exploiting her anger and frustration to sell their newspaper.. oh sorry i meant “newspaper”. I feel bad that she fell for it. Now she’s certainly blown her chance of getting on the show again and she’ll just have to find some other way. I mean, it’s actually quite sickening that she sees X factor as the only way to get what she wants. It’s just a quick and dirty road to Average Town.
