With both Irish girls being put one ( the Glengormley one deserved it ) I was seething that the X Factor didnt even give them the courtesy of showing them telling their families that they didnt get through.

Also, one also cant forget that X Factor bosses didnt thing it was necessary to have auditions in Belfats, Dublin or Cork. Singers all had to travel to UK auditions putting them at a disadvantage.

I get the distinct feeling that X Factor has turned anti Irish , wheter it be North or South.

The wee dublin girl deserved to go through, better than Jade who I will forecast will croak it, in that her voice will give out.

Tamera will win it at a canter and the joke act will be dog rough city and the guy who has a fasination with groping his own crotch.

But no a single Irish contestant ...boooooooooo

Oh big yawn.

Bigger yawn

Give over. You've had Eggnog and Jedward in the lives and both were crap.

Do you mean Hannah, seeing as Jade didn't get through herself?

Melanie doesn't have the X Factor. That indescribable something that makes you interested in a contestant and want to watch them. Andrea wasn't great either.

Louis is from Dublin and been asked back every year, so you have to see your post for the nonsense that it is.

I am Irish. This thread is embarrassing garbage. Please lock it mods.

Melanie wasn't that great, More Theatre than X Factor to prim and proper and came across very desperate,

If she didn't get the message before I hope she does now. Don't do the X Factor

Go and eat some shamrocks ya leprechaun

Not holding auditions in Belfast is crazy

Going to Belfast at all is crazy.

Jade didn't go through!

What a stupid thread - Isn't Louis Irish??

I can't tell if this thread is sarcastic. I sincerely hope it is, can't be bothered to entertain such delusion.

Why?
Belfast is a lovely city

Well good to see you all agree and looking at your posts says it all.

Leaving it is lovely.

I'm considering the possibility that its a drunken thread...

Who other than Melanie was Irish? I cant even remember!

X Factor haven't forgiven the Irish for Jedward

Also, Dermot is half-Irish, and he presents the thing.

why should they specially cater to the irish (the republic) its a foreign country not part of the uk?

The show should be about the best talent going through, not token representatives of different places going through to appease viewers from those places. That's basically positive discrimination, but discrimination none the less. This show is fake enough without that bullshit becoming a factor.

Agreed. Unfortunately people with an absurd idea of what national pride means don't see it that way.

How nasty and ignorant.


Really, I hate racist stereotyping and sly comments based on it.

Both Dermots parents are Irish.


There ya go Op, all these quote proves a point, I could not understand the ridiculous dislike and spite showered on
Melanie but its obvious now. You dont like her style of singing fair enough but the OTT dislike
But I think Melanie just was not their cup of tea and nothing to do with her origins. BTW Tesco Mary was forgotten in that list and Tabby and Janet Devlin and those boring
sisters.
If people can stop gloating and winding up Melanie fans, it will blow over and we can move on. Everyone here would be similarly disappointed if their fav had been dropped, show some empathy because your time will come in the lives, when your act is eliminated.
