I don't blame her. It must have been horrid for her seeing her grandson hated for no reason on national TV. Tulisa in particular has been downright nasty.

Gary has been more vicious and personally abusive to Rylan than Tulisa has been with Chris. She doesn't like his singing voice, so what, she's allowed an opinion for goodness sake. Just because she disagrees with Chris' nan doesn't make her criminal!

"And he just said, ‘It’s a show, it’s just entertainment. It’s a Saturday night TV show and that’s what the public want to hear’"

I would not be surprised to hear Louis Walsh make these comments which confirms what we all know that it is scripted beforehand to make good television.

with all the negative press and horrible comments he gets Its no wonder his Nan has decided to hit out.

I think Its pretty bad that its got to the near bullying stage with him, I am not suggesting that it comes from the judges, but i think the way the press have been and the way the guy gets slated is terrible.

Its not his fault that people have decided to use him as a puppet by keeping him in to annoy the cash cow that is cowell.

I think the guy deserves a break, I didn't vote Chris and have always said I like James, However with this level of hate towards Chris, I gotta be honest its making me want to change my vote.

There has clearly been a difference that anyone can see. Gary said the same thing every week, that Rylan could not sing, he even gave him brownie points for his entertainment , just never his singing, and the other 3 judges always gave him high praise.

Christopher has been ripped to shreds by all 3 judges week on week, and nobody ever sat and laughed all the way through a performance like Tulisa and Louis did. Rylan has clearly said since leaving that him and Gary actually got along really well backstage so he knew it was not personal. However its also been clear that other than Gary, Christopher has no support from anyone.

I don't blame her. It was Loiuis Walsh that started this whole vitriol against Christopher some weeks back by saying he was a diva in addition to criticising his performances.

You shouldn't go on a tv talent show if you are not prepared for adverse comments.
They have just said they can't connect with him, see it as just a performance rather than believe what he is singing and find him dated. As for laughing they made it clear they were laughing at the staging and Tulisa herself said she should stop laughing as he deserved a serious critique. Plenty of judges inc Cowell have laughing or poked fun at staging/dancers before.

I don't think they are bullying him but they just clearly don't believe he is good enough or at least their own choice to be in top 4. And I think based on what he does every week they are right.

It all comes down to the fact that the judges and production team don't like the way the public is voting.

End of!

Really? Gary said week on week that he loved the sense of fun, and he really liked Rylan as a person but that he was a terrible singer. That's not personally abusive, that's called constructive criticism. He was exactly the same with Johnny - loved him as a person and a singer, but continually voiced his disappointment that Louis turned him into a joke act.

I would love proof of the "bullying"!

Surely the judges saying he sounds like a cruise ship singer etc doesn't count as bullying- they have said that to many acts in the past!

Saying they didn't like the dancers, that's been said before too!

Can you provide a 'downright nasty' quote from Tulisa please. One that Gary Barlow or Louis Walsh has never said to a contestant past or present.

Thanks

But he has mand up as you might say. He has took the same crap week in week out from them,and said he takes there comments on board. He hasn't hit back with smart arse comments like rylan has each week to Gary . If anybody else had got the same treatment as chris has had each week ,you would be screaming from the roof tops,and you know it. Did they ever say to rylan you are a bad karaoke singer,that you kill songs each week, I'm glad you didn't take your shirt off,laugh at him while performing and not even look at him while performing. So you think everyone else as had this sort of treatment.

I agree , the judges told him what to do , he ignored them and carried on with the cheese infested song choices sung like cabaret and karaoke .

If he wants to be a star you have to man up

It's the X factor not the nanny pat show , everybody knows its a pantomine .

Asking Gary in front of chris ,why he was giving him these cheesy songs each week that chris keeps killing. Is that nasty enough or I suppose you think that is ok.

I think that's ok! She was telling Gary to make Chris more relevant! I thought it was nice, and that she was blaming Gary more than Chris!

Other judges do that all the time on X Factor ....Gary did it to Louis on Sammi last year asking why he was giving her dated songs to sing that just made her cruise ship ..that was when she said she like jane mcdonald (or whatever her name is) ..and Cowell always used to make such commets.
Those comments are all part of x factor and there has been worse said in the past

Perfectly fine. They have to give feedback - that means to the performance, the presentation, the vocal and the song choice. The criticism is directed at the act and the mentor.

Gary smilingly saying "You can't dance babe!" to Kitty last year was just as bad.

It's interesting they have all said Christopher sings well. I don't think he sings well - he bellows out every song in the same style. The vibrato, which I mentioned from day one, is turned up too much. This is what he needs to address.

Yes I suppose you are right, by the way were can I get a pair of those rose tinted glasses you were. She said it to try and look good in trying to be little chris and Gary at the same time. Hence Gary put her on her arse by saying I don't know what's worse that comment or your fag breath. Now that's ok.

Listen to Gary's feedback on Sami Brookes last year. Very similar to what the other judges are saying to Christopher.
