Because the OP confused some contestants' names and their spelling is iffy. The connotation of Irish people liking a drink entered my head only after you mistakenly thought that was what I meant.

I hate assumptions and incorrect comments based on it.

Andrea was bad at judges houses and Melanie lacks star quality / doesn't have as strong a voice as the other girls. She also comes across verging on desperate in my opinion and her "I've never made it to live shows" sob story was getting irritating.

I'm from Belfast and this made me laugh out loud.

Also, as for auditions in Belfast there's hardly been any talented X Factor contestants from Northern Ireland minus imo Janet Devlin. Eoghan was cringeworthy and as for Irish contestants Jedward were poor too. ETA: Plus the Conway Sisters were bad.

It is also anti-Commonwealth and anti-Czechoslovakian. Like, really.

You will be on here ranting, when Abby is in the bottom 2 next week and out. Our turn this week, yours next week , someone else's the week after and how we all will laugh.

Upon what do you base that ridiculous assumption? I don't care enough to rant about someone leaving and the taste of the kind of people that vote on this show is hardly refined, so you are hoping in vain I'm afraid.

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”

Um.. Belfast is in the UK if you had forgotten

this Irish business needs to stop :yawn:
