X Factor Judge Rakes a Contestant over the Coals

UPDATE:  Natalia Kills and Willy Moon have been fired from X-Factor New Zealand. Monday nights show began with the announcement that the two judges were gone.

The Original Story will tell you why.

One of the judges on X Factor, New Zealand, really did not like one of the contestants Sunday night.   Natalia Kills ripped the guy a new one, claiming he was a carbon copy of her husband, Willy Moon, who is also a judge.  Yes, we have the video.

The contestant is Joe Irvine and he just finished singing "Cry Me a River".  Listen as Natalia makes Simon Cowell sound like a nursery school teacher!

Throughout her tirade the crowd was on Joe's side. Natalia called the young man a "laughingstock"  "cheesy" and "disgusting."

Then her husband joined in calling the guy a mass murderer.  Willy Moon said, "It just feels a bit cheap and absurd. I mean, it's like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing. It's just a little bit creepy and I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everyone in the audience.

Jeeze they sound a bit full of themselves,  and I don't even know who they are!

Thank goodness one of the other judges stood up for the contestant and told him he was good!

The Twitter folks got in on the act too,condemning Natalia and Willy.

There is now a Change.org petition to get Natalia off the show.  The X Factor producers are also getting complaints about the husband and wife team.

Joe seems to be taking in stride, he tweeted this.

I hope Joe Irvine makes it through to the finals just to spite those two!
