X Factor: Video Proof That Paige Richardson Is A Little Lenny Henry
X FACTOR: Louis Walsh, aka ‘big Archie Andrews, says Paije Richardson is “a little Lenny Henry”.
Lenny Henry – the TV comedienne and showbiz luvvie? Why is Paije like him? Is it because he’s on a TV talent show (Henry was discovered on New Faces)? But Henry didn’t sing. Walsh says that Richardson’s singing reminds him of a Little Lenny Henry, and who the hell wants to listen to that?
Well, Louis Walsh, obviously.
He must be referring to this and not that fact that all black people look the same on stage and that Rebecca Ferguson is like a little Oprah Winfrey and Katie Waissel is just like a little Golda Meir.

@dairy Fortunately I’m not a betting person!
However I do think that it was outrageous that Paije went out this week – he certainly did not deserve Louis rejection and as a result we will never know what the public vote was! I thought both performances he gave this week were great!
Paije has a great soulful voice and he is always in tune (unlike a few of the other unmentionable contestants!) I hope he at least gets a music contract out of this.

Does anyone else think Paige looks like a young Tracey Chapman? Or perhaps like the hippo from Fantasia?

ah but Lenny Henry DID sing – as his alter-ego Theophilus P Wildebeest….. but Lenny’s effort was a lot more thrusty and a lot less bouncy than young Paije – I remember distinctly the duet with Tom Jones….
