They're all weeping like babies.

I'm starting to hate them all except Paul.

It's the new men thing it's ok to hug cry kiss each other etc

It's called passion, and an overwhelming desire to do what they love.

It makes me want to puke.

None of them can sing , Ryan, Giles and Luke were terrible , the others just about average .

They have waited all their 16 years for this - cocks

Why? Why do you care so much?

Not all guys are like these fame hungry babies, but yes Paul is the only one I can bare to watch.

I always assumed that the producers poke them with cattle prods when they are being interviewed. It's too much of a coincidence that all 6 of them are crying ALL the time.

Paul is the only one in that gang that can really sing. If he is binned it will be a travesty. But he wasn't cute enough for Sinitta and that other airhead.

Absolutely pathetic. They're not men. I just can't believe they're bawling like babies.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with men crying.

Having said that, I find it manipulative in this context

They are a bunch of big girls blouses! I'd tell them to man up and stop the waterworks.

Paul is a brilliant singer and could go really far in the competition, so hope he can shape up and get a grip.

Nicholas over Paul. Hilarious.

Louis delivers the essence of the show yet again. The whole of Hamby Towers is rocking with laughter and high fiving.

Men are allowed to cry, but all the crying in XF is so contrived that it makes for nauseating viewing.

'I don't want to go home and work in a bar again' - that's not at all insulting to the majority of people who do regular jobs.

Omg every single one howling

I went all the way through my teenage years and saw lads at school having to contend with things like failing exams, not getting selected for county sports teams, having friends and even parents die. They may have cried in private, but i never saw one of them cry in public.

It's such a daft thing to say at this early stage.

Agree 100%. I don't recall sobbing my way through my teenage years.....it's very unmanly.

I went through plenty of tissues during the teenage years, none were used for crying though.

Because they are fame-hungry wannabes who have seriously convinced themselves that this is their only chance to achieve their goals.

Until next year.

many 'men' are simply wimps these days, except for me

Absolutely this ^ ^ ^ ^

And the girls all cried too. The editors must have had a field day piecing together all the blubbing.
Was a VERY disappointing & annoying programme this evening.

its because they dont have strong male role models

Then you seriously need to grow up and educate yourself old of the dark ages where Prince Charming comes and rescues the weak silly little female.

You'd prefer a bloke that shows you no emotion and uses you as a doormat then?
