Fans of The X-Factor contestant Brain “Astronomical Kid” Bradley were shocked at his terrible attitude during last week’s results show.
The spoiled 15-year-old threw a mini-tantrum onstage and refused to perform when he landed in the bottom 2. His meltdown was reminiscent of troubled singer Chris Brown’s most famous antics. The Brooklyn teen’s cocky attitude was an alarming indication of what is to come when he faces real pressure from the music industry.
Astro is a perfect example of a kid raised in the narcissistic street culture of Hip Hop, where they have no morals or values.
Astro, as he’s called, apologized to his “fans” and said the X-Factor was “punishing” him for something that occurred “behind the scenes.”
“Just look at the numbers” he bragged during a recent interview. “I don’t see how you can have the most followers on Twitter out of everybody in the competition and get voted in the bottom 2. So, I thought something was jiggy.”
After judge Simon Cowell scolded Astro for his bad behavior and told him not to disrespect his mother on national TV, Astro revealed that it was his mother who encouraged him to quit the show.
“She knew what was going on,” he says. “She was tellin’ me, ‘Just leave. You need to leave and go home.’ It’s stupid, you know. But I told my mom, ‘Let’s at least try it one more time. Let’s get one more week in.’ ”
It’s clear that Astro needs a reality check, which is something that his immature mom, and his fawning followers on Twitter.com can give him.
