"Justin Bieber has claimed that he was &amp;quot;used&amp;quot; for ratings by The X Factor USA. Bieber signed up to help LA Reid choose his favourite contestants in the Over 25s category at the Judges&amp;#039; Houses stage of the competition.  However, last night&amp;#039;s (October 10) episode focused on Demi Lovato&amp;#039;s Young Adults and Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s Groups, meaning that Bieber&amp;#039;s time with Reid did not feature heavily. On hearing the news, Bieber complained about the decision on his Twitter page. &amp;quot;heard we got used for ratings according to twitter and we arent even on until tomorrow (sic)?&amp;quot; he wrote. &amp;quot;@xfactorusa could of just told us.&amp;quot; However, Bieber seemed to move on quickly from the disappointment as he prepared for a concert, writing: &amp;quot;about to see my fans...my beliebers...and it&amp;#039;s gonna BE ALRIGHT. #showtime #CANADA.&amp;quot; Bieber also revealed on Twitter yesterday that his computer and phone - containing &amp;quot;personal footage&amp;quot; - had been stolen during a show in Washington.
