Aswell as viewers going aggro over the fact the show is using auto-tuned microphones, it has now been reprorted that auditionee Katie Waissel has lied to the show!
It turns out that Katie already has a recording contract and is about to release an album in the US!
If you remember the girl,when Cheryl asked her what experience she had, Katie replied:
"I sing all the time... anywhere that will have me I sing. I sing on trains with my guitar... I sing in the salon,' but failed to reveal her substantial professional experience"But today it's been revealed that Katie recorded a jazz album with US based Chamberlain Records.
Jason Silverman, her music manager, told News of the World:
She is in big trouble now! The bubbly singer stumbled through her performance, forgetting the words to Queen's 'We are the champions' and then wowed the judges with 'At last'."We're just about to release a record - it's brand new. She came to LA and we signed her to a two-record deal."

So the big question is will she be disqualified? The X-Factor has strict rules about contestant’s musical work, and Katie has basically broken the contract.A spokesman from the show has said:
"We are looking to the whole thing to see if a contract does exist and if there is found to be one, what the wording is.An existing record or management contract could result in Katie not being able to continue, but she is a fantastic contestant, and it demonstrates her determination to succeed in the business."
What a sneaky girl! Although she clearly wants to be famous really really bad! Do you think she should be disqualified?
