Them black lad's voices the second time around. What a coincidence!

the way they talked about themselves seemed contrived to me, it looked like they were told what to say to Ant & Decs questions (errr...we rehearse....once a week 
*rolls eyes*).
Looked like they had never seen each other before lol.

I didn't think they sang better to me they were awful. I really don't understand how they got through - they are very cute but imo talentless as far as singing goes.
Utter fix. And they've done it once too often now. Did it with Lloyd way back on X Factor. Simon Cowell is still pulling the strings. He ought to come up with some new scams.

I would say "Those Young Men Of Color".

It used to wind me up when Cowell did it coz not once did the singer ever go "nah that's the only song I've got mate", but at least Cowell knows the music industry inside out and does know what he's talking about.
Holden on the other hand sticking her arm up and stopping a performance, wtf is that about??? She wouldn't know a flat performance if it bit her on her crows feet. If they really must keep doing it at least let the Hoff be the one to stop it, at least he's a recording (ahum) artist and has some modicum of musical credibility.

The "we're like brothers/sisters/family" thing seems to have become very popular since people saw it worked for Diversity on the whole likeability front. I could be wrong, but I don't remember acts coming out with that one so much before them. Difference is, it wasn't contrived with Diversity - it's so cringeworthy when other acts force it out now.
Those lads on Saturday seemed to have met just a couple of months ago at an audition or something.
No idea why they were given another chance, either - if they were 5 years older they wouldn't have.

I suppose it's just the fact that you see a person's colour rather than who they are?
I don't think anybody mentioned that white chap, did they?

There was many acts with white people in, there was only one act that was all black people lads in, easy way of identifying. Only racist if you're a moron.
Typical 'PC gone mad opinion'
