It didn't take long for controversy to erupt from The X-Factor, but after Astro landed in the bottom 2 last week, and subsequently threw a temper tantrum on national TV, a can of worms had been opened.
After his bottom 2 outburst on last Thursday's show, Astro tweeted, “Its funny how people are quick to judge not knowing whats going on behind the scenes. Maybe I should have given my Disney smile instead!”
What Astro was talking about, was a conflict backstage with the show's producers. Due to sponsorship endorsements, Astro isn't allowed to air any other Earphone brands besides Sony's, however he chose to wear his own Dr. Dre earphones instead.
According to Astro, he thinks he was put in the Bottom 2 by producers as punishment for not following the rules.
In an interview with the New York post, Astro stated, “I don’t see how you can have the most followers on Twitter out of everybody in the competition and get voted in the bottom two. So, I thought something was jiggy.”
Astro's mother is supposedly telling him to quit the competition, and is also apparently siding with Astro in the ordeal, “She knew what was going on. She was tellin’ me, ‘Just leave. You need to leave and go home."
Astro states that if he's in the bottom 2 this week, he will perform because he will really know he was in the Bottom 2.
Tonight could be the end for him anyway, because of the Double Elimination. If he IS in the Bottom 3 tomorrow night, there is a chance he might end up getting the lowest number of votes.
I know Astro is very talented and very young, which could be adding to all the drama, but no one likes a Drama King, or arrogance.
