RAMSBOTTOM – SINGING ASBO


We’ve just heard about a story which reminded us of Alex Sturrock’s ASBO piece we ran last year. 19-year-old X Factor reject Emma Chawner and her family have been kicked out of their house in Ramsbottom, Lancashire because the neighbours couldn’t stand the (post-K-Fed) Britney Spears lookalike’s tuneless all-night singing sessions anymore. It’s like she’s been given a singing ASBO. But worse.

After failing to get through on the show last year, Emma got singing lessons and practiced at home regularly in late-night karaoke sessions so she could wow the X Factor judges. But she still got turned down again on this year’s show.

Anyway, her neighbours have had enough and want her to take her painful, slightly creepy crooning elsewhere before she gets into practice mode for X Factor in 2009.

Watch her original audition below.
