Not long after The X Factor ended in 2010, Tomlinson faced criticism from first X Factor Winner Steve Brookstein in which Brookstein claimed Tomlinson wasn't a very good singer and couldn't believe he'd made it to the finals. However, Tomlinson received a lot of support from a number of celebrities and fans on twitter, with many claiming that Brookstein was just bitter and jealous due to failing to gain much success following his win in 2004.
