He seemed in a pretty bad place. Suprised they didn't give him chance to explain himself/try again as they did with some others that messed up

I was completely gutted for him, even with forgetting his words he overshadowed the 2 boyband clones!

Does he not go through in the end though? Because there was newspaper articles about X factor producers struggling to find him this week

It must have been very overwhelming for him to be around so many people, and to know that his chances to change his life rested on a 3 minute audition. I'm not surprised he couldn't cope.

I've no idea if he would have liked a second chance or not or whether he was asked. I would like to think they'd have given him one, he was one of the more interesting characters with potential this series.

He is homeless, not an invalid.

I don't see how that affects what I wrote in any way.

Has he been found? The last I read he was 'missing', would be interested to see him back

I'm not usually susceptible to that kind of editing, but something about this situation really made me feel for the guy. You can see that he has huge self esteem issues which presumably led to him being homeless in the first place. I hope the producers were at least kind enough to give him a little bit of money to help him out if this really is the end of the road for him.

I don't know, I don't follow the papers. It seems clear the issue with him is not that he's homeless but that there are things going on with him that have led to homelessness. X Factor probably wouldn't have been a good thing for him anyway.

I just hope that being on the show has helped him get a bit of exposure and get off the streets, such a good voice!

XFactor will only try and change him if they found him.

I admire him for walking out of the show the way he did.

We don't know do we, but I'd agree that is very very often the case.

The 3 lads all did well The boy Robbie can sing effortlessly. Putting down the mike and walking was a great bit of TV. I hope the show hasn't spewed out a great bit of TV at the expense of the lad tho.

He ruined it for himself and nearly destroyed the other guys chances as well. If he had bothered to learn the song he would have easily got through.

The cynic in me says that they were trying to get drama and publicity from the bad situation of a homeless man. Why would they be looking for him if he wasn't in the lives? The report came AFTER judges houses had already been filmed.

I wish Robbie had stayed on stage and been chosen to come back the next day but he was clearly lacking in confidence to the extent that he more or less sabotaged himself. I feel really bad for the guy and hope he can get himself a better life one way or another.
