They keep making such a big deal about Ella being 16, yet in the X Factor USA, better singers aged 13 barely ever get their name mentioned! Watch Carly Rose Sonenclar singing My Heart Will Go On, she is only 13, then watch Ella's performances. Who is better? IMO Carly.

Well this X factor UK so why would they talk about the American one ?

My point was that in X Factor USA the fact that they are 13 isn't brought up.

Simon asks Carly and Beatrice how old they are every week and then says it can't be true as no 13 year old should be able to sing like that or something to that effect

Ella is.

Well said. The American 13 year olds are better singers than Ella.

And you can tell they are 13 apart from Carly rey

All Syco would do is other people to write them songs while the 13 yr old would make very little.

I don't see how being that young and famous is a good thing tbh if you look Lohan and some others.

It's brought up every time all 3 girls perform.
