Kylie thinks ‘X Factor’ contestants should be “less styled”

Kylie Minogue wishes that contestants on ‘The X Factor’ were as ‘real’ throughout the series as they are in the auditions.

The popstar, whose sister Dannii transformed this year’s winner Matt Cardle from a scruffy painter to a polished pop icon, thinks that the recent hopefuls were too “groomed”.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Kylie revealed: “There’s a noticeable change with what they’ve done with the contestants from the start of the live shows.

“In previous years, they were a bit more... I want to say dorky, but I don’t mean that in a bad way,” she explained. “They were a bit more as they were in real life, less styled and groomed.

“They’ve definitely all had new looks from the first live show in this series.

“But it’s different and part of me thinks: ‘Oh, I want them to be more like they were in the auditions.'”
