X Factor frontrunner Jahmene Douglas's attack on the show has come back to haunt him.

The wailing 21-year-old told his YouTube followers last year that Simon Cowell's contest was 'not about singing'.

Instead, he hailed rival show American Idol as a real talent hunt. He commented on the video-sharing website: 'X Factor's not about singing so much; you've seen what people get through to the live shows.

'Compare it to American Idol... they sing.

'It's hard in a country that favours indie music, but this year I'll try harder, see where I end up,' he added.

According to the bookies, Jahmene is currently one of the favourites to win this year's competition, with only fellow front-runner Ella Henderson having better odds then him at this stage.

William Hill currently put him at 6/4 to win, with Ella at 11/8 and James Arthur rounding off the top three at 4/1.

'There is a definite top three emerging now for X-Factor glory and it would be a big surprise if the final was not contested between Ella, Jahmene and James,' said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
