Mum-of-five wants to choose her own songs
Wednesday, 5 November 2008
Rachel Hylton is said to be refusing to work with Dannii Minogue on The X Factor.
The mum-of-five, who was in the bottom two on Saturday, is thought to be upset about her mentor’s song choices.
‘There is total breakdown in communication between the two girls,’ says a source.
‘She is desperate to win the competition but she feels she has no chance if Dannii keeps giving her the wrong tracks to perform.
‘It has been bubbling under for weeks, ever since Dannii gave her the Robyn track Every Heartbeat to sing which really didn’t complement her amazing voice.
'But it was the final straw when she ended up in the bottom two. She demanded Dannii had to go.’
Simon Cowell, 49, is even believed to have tried to act as a mediator to ease tensions between Rachel, 26, and Dannii, 37.
‘He does realise she can be a handful and that Dannii has a difficult time trying to handle that,’ the source tells the Daily Mirror.
'The way Dannii has dealt with Rachel has really put her mentoring skills under the spotlight.’
But show bosses have rubbished the claims.
‘Despite rumours in today's press we can confirm that Rachel has not "dumped" her mentor Dannii Minogue, in fact the two have been working closely together all week,' reads a statement.
'Being in the bottom two last week knocked Rachel's confidence and the pair have agreed that Rachel will have more ownership over her song choice and styling of the performance this weekend but she is still very much part of Team Minogue.'

I am probably one of the shows biggest fans, but really last week Austin this week Laura what an earth is going on? Why are people voting the real tallant off! 2 Questions why is Rachel still in, lets face it she can't sing, she has a bad attitude and what sort of role model is she for todays kids?? The second, what has happened to Louis Walsh he keeps throwing his toys out of his pram when things aren't going his way. I think something may have to change with show for next year it's all about sob stories and not about finding real tallent! Give the contest to Rachel and Britain will find themselves with another Amy Winehouse......don't we have enough problems!!!!
diana is fit as **** and she has the best voice i hate rachel. i wish she had larynitus instead of diana go DIANA you fittern
this is so sad. this girl will never ever be as big as robyn. atleast she has platinum and gold records from UK, USA, Canada, this girl will never see that kind of success.. and let´s face it. robyn got her international success because she is original and wants to do things in her way. not that some idiotic record company says what she should do. these x-factor winner know nothing about that. and i have to say that simon proved once gain that he´s moron who does not know anything about personal music. if he calls "with every heartbeat" rubbish he´s out of his mind.
