Tomorrow's edition of The Sun claims Tulisa spent ages in Sophie's company on Sunday night when they were out on the town and appeared to be offering her lots of advice.

Might lend weight to Louis's claim that Kelly has been neglecting Sophie and concentrating on her other two acts.

why would she do that? surely that would make sophie more of a threat to her acts

Yeah, I'd say Tulisa and Sophie did exchange ideas at some point, it seems only natural that it would crop up in conversation.

I think she wants to get under Kelly's or Misha's skin. Tulisa has a lot of insecurity problems she needs to sort out.

Louie has done that many times in the past, so its a bit rich for him accusing another judge of doing the same thing!

Wait didnt Tulisa get pissed off when Kelly tried to give her some advice but yet she gone on to give Kellys act some advice. talk about the double standard of the girl lol

Or maybe, just maybe, she was trying to help someone out?

At least someone is, unlike Kelly who doesn't seem to care whether she stays or goes. I honestly think Sophie could win with the right mentor.

I think they might have talked. End of the day Tulisa does still judge all the acts.

All the judges do this - and it makes sense for Sophie to ask questions or for Tulisa to bring up advice for her.


A bit of a non-story tbh. If its happening every week then its defoes problem. But its not anything important atm.


I do feel Sophie is getting lost though.

He was also 'doing a Tulisa' last year by mentoring Rebecca Ferguson behind Cheryl's back

I would've agreed with you two weeks ago but after last week I'm a bit suspicious of her intentions

Oh get over youself.

Kelly has given Sopjie some good songs and unlike Tulisa she does know what rock means

didn't louis accuse cheryl of neglecting rebecca last year! to be fair, cheryl always did have her favourites. maybe, he is right? although, where is he getting that impression from? apparently, he is spending all his down time in ireland. he is just as bad in terms of having favourites to be honest. i suspect he will be backing someone else`s act to win in a week or two.

i wonder what tulisa`s sudden interest in sophie is all about?

Understandable, but I'm really hoping that Tulisa's not that type of person. I think she has a lot to offer the show, so I wanna stay optimistic for now.

Louis went a lot further than that and was practically mentoring Rebecca. She came to him every week and he gave her loads of advice : it was no secret that Rebecca would have loved Louis as her mentor, and not Cheryl.

Is that the same Tulisa who's got a Girlband to week 3 without being in the bottom two once? Yeah cause she's doing a terrible job...

Kelly on the other hand is just lucky she got the girls, and she hasn't exactly picked great songs... Remember Amelia yeah, Billie Jean is a perfect song for a girl to cover... We all know what happened there.

I've either not heard any of this or can't remember it.
But I do remember a lot of tension between Louis and Cheryl over how acts are treated.


In terms of Tulisa IZ Evil stuff from others above. I don't think it really fits. Sophie doesn't strike me as very stupid and tbh I think Tulisa expects her acts to succeed on their own merits whilst also probably being sympathetic and liking certain acts.
Again though - this is a pretty non-story so its probably better not to turn this into the same arguement thats been had for a few too many threads now

i didn't depute anything to be fair. cheryl had her favourites and that was always obvious with her. however, louis is just as bad that way.

Louis actually said to Cheryl on the live shows in the latter stages "Rebecca would love to have me as her mentor"

I'm not really surprised Sophie and Tulisa are getting on so well. They're both from the same general area and in and around the same age.

Thats no big deal a girlband got to week 7 on the show and Belle Amie got to week 4. And dont forget Tulisa only has 2 acts left and also couldnt understand what Rock was about. I mean come on putting a few guitar riffs into a song does not make it a rock song.

As for a female doing Bille Jean have a look on youtube they are plenty of females doing it very well.

i have to admit the song choice disagreement is getting boring. :yawn: only a poor workman blames his tools.

Sophie and Tulisa are quite similar in age and background so no surprise they get on

with Kelly back home why wouldn't Sophie take the chance to have a chat?

I know I wouldnt mind but we have had Micheal jackson weeks where the girls have made the songs work for them.

So really all this about how it didnt work for Amelia is just bull. As I did like how Amelia did Bille jean and I did want her to stay. Bbut I also understand that Kelly has a different taste than me so I dont go around bitching about it like some little child.

Yeah thought that at first but didn't really know enough about Sophie to know if they'd get on. Defoes the person Tulisa would obviously be drawn to. Plus she seems to be having some problems compared to other acts. Although I think all the girls have a few problems needing sorting.


Agreed - I think this can all be highlighted with Samii who only complained about Louis song choice but never seemed to put much effort into putting a mark on them (she could have done them a lot better imo and done what she wanted to do in the first place but in a more interesting way)

Both Belle Amie & Hope had been in the bottom two by this point... My point was that Tulisa has stopped Rhythmix from doing the same thing.

And I'm not saying that every girl in the world cannot sing the song, what I'm sing is it isn't a great song choice as it isn't really easy for a girl to cover, your point was Tulisa picked bad songs... I'm not saying that no female can cover Billie Jean, what I'm saying is that it wasn't right for Amelia and Kelly should've known that...
