According to an interview he gave to The Sun, Christopher Stone (The Singing Accountant), was subject to atrocious bullying whilst at school. If this is the case, then it is shameful. But should he be pulling at the nation's heart strings in this manner? Another question altogether. This is a talent show for crying out loud, not a weep fest.
I noted from the article:
Christopher won't name the school he attended in Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Why not? Naming and shaming the establishment might help if the problem still exists.
What do we make of statements like this one (also in the interview)
"My dad is on his pension now so I want to look after him a bit because he sacrificed so much for me. He's my bestest friend."
Bestest friend? He also is trained in baby talk as well as having had singing lessons it seems. All very contrived methinks. Singers need charisma to survive, not sympathy. Beware of The Singing Accountant and his SuBo strategy is my advice, otherwise true talent will not be triumphant in Cowell's circus of human dramas.
