"Shayne Ward has suggested that he deserved more attention from former record label Syco. The singer was dumped by Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s record label, after his third album Obsession failed to reach a top ten spot.  Ward told New! magazine: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d have liked more attention. Let&amp;#039;s just say better decisions could have been made on certain things. &amp;quot;People have got to remember that the label took me away for three years. [Those] three years didn&amp;#039;t do me any favours.&amp;quot; Ward is reported to have blamed Cowell&amp;#039;s concentration on other acts such as Leona Lewis, and music execs not giving his output enough attention, for his failed pop career.  However, the winner of The X Factor&amp;#039;s second series doesn&amp;#039;t hold a grudge, saying: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t see the point in being bitter.&amp;quot; Ward attempted to launch a pop comeback during the 2010 X Factor Live Shows, but his cover of Nickelback&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Gotta Be Somebody&amp;#039; only reached number 12 in the singles charts. He recently told Digital Spy of his hopes that taking part in Dancing on Ice will give him a career boost.
