Scott James is backing Joe McElderry to win tomorrow’s X Factor final. Scott told the Gazette, a local Teesside paper, that he would  “eat his hat in Stockton town centre” if  Joe McElderry doesn’t win the competition.

Scott himself has been in the studio recording a new song, Through My Eyes – a brand new original song written by an Australian mum whose daughter also has autism. He performed the single, which is scheduled for release in the New Year,  when he officially switched on the Daisy Chain Christmas lights at Calf Fallow Farm in Norton.

Scott has become very involved with the local charity, which helps children who have asperges and autism, after his stint on the X Factor earlier in the year.

Lisa Marshall, events manager at Daisy Chain,  said Scott had become the favourite of many of the youngsters. “They really look up to him and ask him for autographs. We are so pleased to have his support and he really connects with a lot of the children.”

Hundreds of pounds were raised for Daisy Chain at the lights switch on. The lights will be on next Friday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm together with Christmas gift stalls and a visit from Santa, followed by a Carol service.

Scott James did not make into the final 24 because the judges did not want to repeat the “Susan Boyle controversy” said his voice coach Linzi Hunter talking to the Northern Echo.

Scott James was knocked out of the X Factor last night show after he forgot the words during a performance.

Ms Hunter told the Northern Echo: “There were one or two problems during boot camp and I think they were worried about ending up with a repeat of what happened with Susan Boyle.

“He had a panic attack and forgot the words. They offered him the chance to come back an hour later, but Scott did not want to be singled out, so he carried on.

“It might have been a different story if he had come along before Susan Boyle, but I think they were worried how he would cope with the live shows.”

However, Ms Hunter maintained: “I do honestly think they helped him.

Scott had his own room at Boot camp.

“People without any problems would struggle in that situation and I do not think he was ready for winning, but it would have been nice to get to the live shows.

“He is disappointed, but he is already thinking about what to do next. He has had a lot of offers. The response has been amazing, and everyone has been so supportive.

“He has a good future ahead of him and he would like to go on X Factor again one day.”

Now Scott has been seen, his talent his evident. Perhaps he won’t even need to go on the X Factor again.
