Some rappers can sing, he can't, that's why he spoke all his lines last night.

Absolutely talent-free, and the girl is okay but nothing special. Who in hell voted for them? I am increasingly convinced the public should not be allowed to vote on the X Factor. After tonight, and given Louis' history, nor should the judges.

I'll vote on all the acts instead and send home whoever I don't like the look of. I'll be back in a minute I need to phone Simon.

According to Tulisa they are relevant and when they are in the bottom two she will be saving them

He's never said he could sing. He is a great british rapper.

A bit disturbing when you think about it. It is after all supposed to be a singing competition. Who'd have thought you could get away with simply saying words?

Frankie Cocozza did, then Gary had the nerve to slag off Rylan for not being able to sing lolz.

Think someone needs to clarify, e.g. Simon, whether this IS a singing competition or an 'entertainment' competition.

Both of them, are some of the most pitiful singers that have ever assaulted my own ears. In my ingenious perspective, they represent everything that is immoralised within the industry of music that has been ongoing for years (e.g. hip-hop, rap, teen-pop, dub-step, modern r&b).

Totally agree, he was really rubbish last night. Charlie was good but he was atrocious, he really was! They should have been in the bottom with the other boy band who was there instead of Melanie!

If you're watching the show it's worrying you feel there is a need to clarify this.

He isn't a singer though, the idea of the group is that she sings and he raps. She is actually a good singer, although she was awful last week. This week she improved but she was still better in the audition stages, I wonder if it's nerves or the dance routines or what.

I've been saying that for years. It amazes me when the judges say 'Is this a singing competition?'.

Louis has thought for years it's some sort of weird novelty circus act talent-finding competition I think it actually puts him off when people sing.

I really like Charlie, best when i've heard her sing on her own with no music backing or rapping - Not sure on them together.

It's not been a singing competition for a long time, and to be honest so far this series, it doesn't feel like an entertainment one either... Frankie's probably thinking he's better than quite a few of the acts here, and he was pitiful!

There's barely an ounce of talent between any of the three groups, the MK1 rapper isn't even that good a rapper on the live shows... District 3 got by on the teenie vote as expected, and the other shower are just there as poster fodder for 12 year old girls' walls...

...and the boys are almost as poor - Rylan makes Chico and Jedward look like Sinatra, James looks like he's on the verge of copying Richey Manic, and the other guy just tries to overdo it every time (though he's the best of the three).

That's a pretty good breakdown to be honest. I don't know what James is doing at all. He seems to get incredibly emotional over nothing and half sings his words maybe he thinks that's 'cool'?

He's also full of himself and incredibly cocky so I find it very difficult to like his performances anyway.

Kye is terrible, just terrible. Awful voice and he has no control over it. I am actually rooting for Rylan. My logic is the judges make a farce of the show hell let's go for it and finish it off and put it out of its misery.

I'm assuming by that you mean he's from Great Britain..

Not a "great," British rapper?



It's beyond me why the two of them are there, I really like her voice, but when they ditched the other guy at the auditions they could've gotten rid of him too..there's only so much they can do in a "competition," like The X-Factor..

He did attempt to sing on the last line of the chorus of "I Want You Back," but it was woeful and clashed totally with her line..

Louis Walsh is already working his "magic," on them..getting them to agree, like they have a choice, to sing a Jackson 5 number and make it more "urban," by sticking in a few "yeahs," and a rap was a master-stroke! :O)

Rich.

Rapping has nothing to do with singing OR music. It's basically somebody jabbering on about complete nonsense while 'music' happens in the background.

I actually think that Jaymi from Union J has a really really good voice, better in tone than Kye's (who's being congratulated on how great a singer he is - I thought his Rihanna/Dido mash up last night was woeful).

He (Jaymi) sang a great note in the middle of Bleeding Love, but unfortunately the cameras were trained on the tops of their heads at the time in that stupid crane shot, so you couldn't see who was singing.

I quite liked MK1 this week - Charlie has quite a nice voice, I think.

LOL, that was a classic audition!
*goes to watch on Youtube*

I think MK1 need to cut down on some of the production/dance routine side of things. Charlie was awful last week but much better this week though not as good as she was at auditions. Simeon in contrast was not great this week but good last week.
