WATCH: Ben Camille Weighs In On Last Weekend’s Alex Alden X Factor Drama
X Factor Malta judge Alex Alden has definitely been the talk of the town (or country) in the last two days, after her emotional outburst on live TV. For the past few days, there has only been one word on the tip of everyone’s tongue; “Really?”
Among the people who did come to Alex’s defence, however, was X Factor host Ben Camille
Ben took to Instagram on Monday to show support for his colleague and friend, claiming that he was “upset about the way people are commenting” on the situation. While he pointed out that he doesn’t always agree with Alex’s opinion, there’s definitely “a way and a way” to go about things.
“Some comments are just uncalled for. Il-paroli fil-vojt, vojt.”
Ben also reminded everyone that the judges are human and are very passionate about what they do and who they work with. The reality is that Alex lost all three of her acts in the first two shows, and it would be more worrying if she did not get upset at this.
“Can you imagine if she wasn’t passionate?” Ben asks, “Imagine if she was just like ‘ah ok unlucky, bye 4th Line, see you‘.”
Ben also reminded everyone that elimination is the nature of the competition
Apart from that, two more acts would be eliminated this week, in what he called “the beauty and the horrible part of the show”.
So, if you don’t want to see your favourite act eliminated, there’s only one thing to do: vote. And get ready for some more upset judges as they’re forced to say goodbye to members of their team.
