"Christopher Maloney has denied that he&amp;#039;s been voting for himself on The X Factor. The 34-year-old Liverpudlian singer made the comments on tonight&amp;#039;s episode of the singing competition (November 10).  Responding to reports that he has spent thousands of pounds voting for himself, Maloney said: &amp;quot;I mean,&amp;quot; before pausing and seeming lost for words. He quickly added: &amp;quot;I just don&amp;#039;t know where they&amp;#039;ve got that from.&amp;quot; Maloney, who performed Elton John&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Still Standing&amp;#039; on tonight&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Best of British&amp;#039;-themed episode of the show, added that he was doing his best in the competition. Following his rendition of John&amp;#039;s hit, judge Nicole Scherzinger told him not to confuse confidence with &amp;quot;cockiness&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;To me you&amp;#039;re like a karaoke king, and for this competition I&amp;#039;m looking for an artist that is going to break boundaries with music. I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s you.&amp;quot; Louis Walsh agreed with Scherzinger, saying that he &amp;quot;is not what The X Factor is about&amp;quot;, and that his performances were like &amp;quot;listening to Heart Radio day after day after day&amp;quot;. Maloney is also reportedly receiving double the amount of votes to the other contestants. The X Factor continues on ITV1. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
