Im not just saying this because of Jedward ,who only serve to illustrate how sad this catagory has become, especially when they have to concoct groups to make up the 3:rolleyes:
I feel sorry for Louis, who seems to get landed with this catagory.
Whats so wrong with having an over 25's male & female instead.
I hope that after this year the producers will seriously change it.
Yes I know JLS have made it, although I didnt think much to their solo vocals last night - very weak.
I could name others like Same Difference and that Scottish duo. I've forgot who else, which says it all.

Frankly I think they need to scrap the whole categories together and just have the best 12 acts male, female, old, young, groups or otherwise
I bet if Destniny's Child turned up on the X-Factor, they wouldn't make it past week 3; that's how treacherous it is for female groups.:rolleyes:
I am surprised that Cheryl hasn't had the Groups yet - having been in one she would have the experience of what its like................
But groups never do well - and I suppose its because you can't warm to them as much as an individual
except..... the 12 names should be placed in sealed envelopes LET US THE PUBLIC see the judges step forward and pick three envelopes each.
They end up with a mix of whoever..... they could have an over, a girl and group to deal with. Make them earn their money. I find it quite boring have the judges have all of the same category each.
I agree with that
G4 were best group to come out of X Factor
JLS are good but G4 are or rather best ever
that's obviously a matter of opinion
I don't think you could amalgamate the groups in to the under or over 25's
It wont happen ...but what if the Jackson 5 turned up on xFactor Michael was a kid and the oldest brother was well over 25.
As it stands now Michael wouldn't have been allowed on as he wouldn't have been 16.
It's never fair when its a contrived program with rules to produce the "right result" at the end.
I like that idea - can't imagine Simon having the balls to go for it though!
someone else suggested this/something similar on a thread last week - that each mentor should have a group, a girl, a boy, and an over.
Perhaps all girl groups should be banned- the girlbands have always done badly vs say JLS, the Macdonalds, Same Difference, G4 and Jedward.
So why should they be scrapped, if two of the shows biggest ever acts are groups?
Also John and Edward are a group and seem to have taken the media by storm this series.
Groups IMO, are always the most interesting and fun category.
Of course it is - everything on here is a matter of opinion. That's the whole point isn't it?!!!!
Well I could not agree more with this, spot on, make them work for their money. I also think this way you would have more of an interesting show as this one is becoming very boring and the slight changes they have made have not made it more interesting really, ie the auditions in live theatres!
In terms of sucess, JLS are doing very well at the moment. Despite the fact that they are the only group who have done well out of the show (apart from, perhaps G4) I think the groups category is brilliant.
i like that idea the judges have one of each catergory we all better lobby simon for next year
