I don't rate Frankie as a vocalist and yes it was good that the judges didn't act as if they were deaf regarding his vocals but Kelly is right, Louis was harsh in his critic.. It's unlikely Frankie would be a rockstar anythime soon.. Louis doesn't know the future. Louis also needs to remember that he helped put Frankie progress through the competition and also praised his 1st live performance when Frankie was very poor.

Maybe sometimes you need to be harsh to be kind but Louis has been instrumental in frankie's progression in the competition.

I agree. In fairness what Louis was saying wasn't completely wrong, but the way that he said it was completely unnecessary and just down right rude. AND then he tried to take on Kelly.. with TRIED being the operative word.

Frankie is just not right for X Factor but he could succeed outside of the show if he worked and worked and worked and worked on himself!

saying ul never be successful was a bit mean but u gotta take it with a pinch of salt! its just the heat of the moment, nothing nasty
