And Finally
The Wanted apologise to Christina, turn their backs on Britney
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 2 May 2012
The Wanted have backtracked a little after calling Cristina Aguilera a “total bitch” for apparently not enjoying a performance of one of their songs.
As previously reported, Aguilera was seemingly unimpressed with the Brit boyband when they performed on the US version of ‘The Voice’, on which she is a judge, Tom Parker from the band told Now FM: “[Christina] is a total bitch. She might not be a bitch in real life, but to us, she was a total bitch. She just sat there and didn’t speak to us. She wouldn’t even look at us”.
But speaking to TMZ, Parker later admitted: “We shouldn’t have said it, to be honest with you. We just think manners cost nothing, you know what I mean? The rest of the judges were really nice and she didn’t look at us or even talk to us but we apologise for the comment but we get a bit frustrated. It’s just common courtesy”.
Having learned their lesson to think before they bitch, the group then went on to another interview engagement and promptly called Britney Spears out for what they deemed to be poor manners.
Although Siva Kaneswaran admitted that telling this story would mean breaching a “confidentiality thing”, he explained to Fresh 102.7. “I was in the hallway with my tour manager. Basically we were looking with a laptop, trying to get wi-fi, facing the middle of the hallway. [Britney’s] bouncers came down with her and told us to face the wall”.
Parker, eager not to lose his status as chief popstress offender butted in: “As Miss Spears is walking through. We’re like, come on!”
Kaneswaran finished the story forlornly: “We turned around and I faced a wall for about ten seconds until she got really far away”.
And I think we can all learn something from that.
