Yes I saw that on Xposé this evening. I know they have changed the official rules this year regarding invited contestants but I wonder why they would invite someone who has been to bootcamp twice already, if they weren't intending on putting her through to live shows.

it suggests that Gary has something in mind for her either on X Factor or outside the show

But she didn't actually sing that well, and I severely doubt that voters will vote for someone being pushed down our throats by the producers (as usual). So I see a few surprise sing-offs coming up. Do they never learn? No wonder the ratings have dived - we see through this insulting nonsense.

Sing offs? Melanie might not even make the live shows yet.

I don't understand how you can say she's been shoved down our throats either. Compared to the likes of Ella, Lucy and Christopher, her screen time was nothing. She was inserted in the middle of the programme, then they had Christopher come on and "outshine" her.

As for not singing very well, doesn't that come down to personal opinion? I personally have found her to be the best act so far.

The last bit of your post makes it seem like they should only air auditions you like. I don't know what your problem is. All the "main" acts have received similar, if not better, treatment than Melanie as far as the editing/airtime is concerned.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see her show up in Eurovision as a soloist in future.....she fits the profile.

Its very common for acts to be invited and put straight to the judges, even acts that get sent home at the first stage of bootcamp.

I bet all the finalists end up people who were "invited" and certainly no one who has queued for hours

You may just be right, wonder if people will pull back further from wasting their money on phone voting?

im not sure about the ohters but in scottish papers it was reported that jade had been spotted queuing with all the other contestants at the producer stage audition, so she wasnt put straight to judges
