Clearly wasn't about her Grandad am I the only one to think that?

'The love I had for you has flown away' - you don't stop loving someone when they die.

'I wish you well in life' - erm....


don't know if I misheard....

She never said it was ABOUT her grandad. She said that her grandad had inspired her to write the song.

She had a great voice, but the bit where tulisa went up to her and asked her about the song was soo planned. I just dont like these sob stories, cant they just come and sing without having to say all this stuff. Ive forgotten the song, so i cant remember the lyrics, i think her grandad gave her inspiration to write it but it wasnt about him (though im probably wrong)

Did she say that song was written for him? I can't remember if she said she was just singing for him rather than the song was for him?
Anyway Who cares she was amazing and that song was great too

But why would your Grandad inspire you to write a song about a failed relationship? It's completely irrelevant surely and just another contrived sob story the kind most viewers are tired of!

I dont like those sob stories, just come and sing if you've got a great voice thats all you need, you dont need these sob stories most of them probably hyped up by the producers.

Then don't tell the producers. I mean, come on. On a show with no age limit, is she really the only one to have lost a grandparent, a parent, a relative, a friend?

I agree with you, lots of people have losts loved ones, thats why i dont like these sob stories, they have the talent they dont need to use it.
I dont know why they tell the producers, maybe to give them a story that they can carry through the show and be identified with.

She said her grandad was the one who told her not to get people down. She said afterwards that she was having a bad day (I assume because people were doing that), so she thought back to what he told her and it inspired her to write the song.

I take it that lyrically it's directed at the person who hurt her rather than the grandad.

There's a very good reason why these people go about telling everyone their sob stories - publicity. Sympathy, along with gossip and scandals, keep The X Factor afloat.

After all these years, people are still bellyaching and wringing their hands about "sob stories"

You'd have thought they'd know what kind of show they were watching by now.

When you fill in the application form they ask you questions that allows the production team to find out if there are any 'back stories' they can use such as 'Has a tragedy happened in your life that has inspired you to follow your dream' and so on.

This show has surely been on long enough that everyone entering will have some idea of how the format works and if they don't at the first audition, they certainly will by the time they make it through to be filmed in front of the judges i.e. you have to be very good, very bad or have a good back story. If they film you at home/work that means you are very good.
