People saying Melanie should get the message now not to enter again, isn't that what life is all about not giving up on your dreams? I know she is putting herself trough torture poor girl, but this is what she wants to do so why should she give up. Many big names out there have being knocked down and told no before they got that big yes, so hopefully something will come her way some day. Jade has being on a few times now. personally i would not go trough it again and again.

She shouldn't give up on her dream, but I think its time she tried a different route into the industry other than X Factor. I don't imagine she'd try again after this time.
This is what is annoying people not her booting. Its wrong.She wont try again, she wanted to opt out this time and they dissuaded her. |

It seems according to an interview she gave this morning along with Louis that she had changed her mind and wanted to drop out after the early stages of X Factor ,when she rang them and told them she was dropping out , the producers rang back and begged her not to drop out , that this was her year and they had great plans for her , they led her to believe was certainty for the Lives ,so she decided to carry on with XF.

I'm sure that she was a good story for them, but that is how the show works. She must surely know that by now? And a producer saying "we think you're great come back" is a guarantee of absolutely nothing. It was her own choice at the end of the day. And she keeps entering because she knows that without the show she has absolutely no chance of a recording career. That is the harsh truth. |

They didn't force her to come for audition. Or to come back a second time for live audition.

Where she went wrong was in believing that they were honourable individuals and not realising that they are cold and cynical and would sacrifice their own mother in pursuit of TV ratings. |

Even if it is true, what you are saying is that she was happy to go along with the scripting and happy to fool her fellow contestants into believing that they were competing against her on an even playing field. She can't complain now that it actually turned out it wasn't scripted in her favour after all. |

At least she can sing, unlike Abby and her silly songs. You can write songs but writing good ones is another thing. Lots of different artist have recording careers, even Des o Connor had one. Who are you to say, who will have a career. We all have differing taste, I dont rate Abby and would not buy her music, you would. So it goes. |

What is factual is that she doesn't have a recording career despite entering the show four times over a 5/6 year period. My question is, why enter a fourth time (even a third time) if she doesn't need the show to obtain a recording career? Indeed if she doesn't need it, then no need for the tears and the outcry is there? |

Really, she was begged to come back and given false promises. The ones on the show have little chance never mind Mel. Where are all the winners now eh. Leon hello.

Lots of different artist have recording careers, even Des o Connor had one. Who are you to say, who will have a career. We all have differing taste, I dont rate Abby and would not buy her music, you would. So it goes. There are so many good artists out there (away from X Factor land) proper, developed real artists to listen to that I don't need to base my buying choices on who is the latest cog in Cowell's machine. I have more respect for someone on the show when they have carved out their own style, play their own stuff and have already recorded their own songs, or at least performed their stuff live, over someone who turns up with a decent voice and a half baked cover hoping they somehow fit with what the producers want that year. Abi at 18 has already written, recorded and released an album. I have some respect in that and therefore think she has a chance. Singing covers is what hundreds and thousands of wedding and pub singers do up and down the country every single day. It does not automatically make you worthy of a recording career or even a slot on a TV talent show! Not in my book at least. |

Whether you like Abi or not, any fool can see that she's more marketable than Melanie ever would have been. Oh and do try and spell the contestant's names correctly unless you have an amusing play on words to offer. |

I could throw the same question back at you and ask what any of the 12 finalists are doing on a TV talent show and not going the conventional route.

Abi to me, like her or not, demonstrates she wants to be a musician. Badly. And has done something, nay, many things about it. I'll also cut slack to Sharon's category as none of those have a chance of any sort of recording career now, without the show and arguably at least one of them, is a hell of a singer. |

Guaranteed she'll be back as a wild card. If not then it was a bit cruel of them to take her this far. I don't think shes very good but I did feel sorry for her.

I reckon there is a wildcard and Melanie more likely to be in the live shows - they wanted to create this drama and the backlash that has happened regarding Melanie not going through

Don't you see the irony of a post like this?

Oh and do try and spell the contestant's names correctly unless you have an amusing play on words to offer. Why has this paragon no recording contract if she is so good. Why is she pimping herself to us. No artist who takes themselves or their work seriously would go on the Xfactor. Its syco controlled. Miss Gould did not need the Xfactor nor Lily Allen, nor most of the good female artists around.Sorry your fav is not my fav.I find her contrived, weak and boring. |

But it's an opinion that is almost certainly entirely correct.
. Its annoying when opinions are offered up as facts, unless a person can see into the future then the words have no weight. One persons trash is another persons treasure. By saying Melanie's only route into the music business is through x factor, and that it was her only chance of a career in music is very short sighted IMO |

Agreed again, but why is this specific to Abi? Surely it applies to all of them?Quote:

Who is Miss Gould? Never heard of her, so she can't have done that well.Quote:

She's not my "fave", she's just more interesting than some of them, certainly Melanie, who I wish no ill but anyone who thinks she can make it is deluded.
