Teen songstress Charlotte Church has publicly blasted reality TV talent show X-Factor, and has poured disdain on those who audition for stardom.

Speaking in her own documentary Charlotte Church: Confessions Of A Teen Angel, the feisty superstar also suggested X-Factor judge Louis Walsh might be deaf considering that he has put through some catastrophically cacophonous crooners.

"I think Louis has lost it," Church said. "Is he deaf? He keeps putting these people through who are seriously dreadful. I just don't get it."

The multi-millionaire 19-year-old also doesn't get why some people go on the show in the first place, although it seems blindingly obvious that they're nearly all in it for money and stardom, things Church is quite familiar with.

"I can't believe some of those people who think they can sing when they clearly can't," the Welsh chanteuse said.

"Have they never listened to themselves? It's so embarrassing to watch."
