So they got through as judges houses as a twosome right but they'll go back to being a threesome?

This doesn't seem fair to me.

Any reason that this has been "allowed" ?

I'd say it's all part of the "drama," designed to keep us "on the edge of our seats."

There's nothing "fair," about this setup..

The whole group scenario, year on year, is an exercise in creating boy/girl bands who'll make zillions of $/£ for the powers that be..

As a duo, they didn't sing anywhere near as well as acts that went out..

Miss Dynamix, this year's cobbled together "group," were a dead cert for the live shows, regardless of how well they were going to sing on a roof top in New York....

What's sad, for me, is that Mr Gary "it's all about the singing," Barlow, which he says regularly, with a straight face plays along with this.

My respect for him, which was very high, when he reformed Take That and continued to prove what a great songwriter he is, is diminished with every week, he's involved in this charade.

I don't think either group should be in the top 12..

As for Mr Barlow, I don't know how he sleeps at night..

Because Kaz has always been a member of the band and has missed, what, 2 performances in the last few years?

It don't see why it's not fair it's not like they they just got some random member to join them he was with them throughout the process but just couldn't join them through judges houses .

They did 3 performances for the judges though, 1 of which he was part of. 2 he wasn't??? The judges haven't been watching them for years.


He missed more than 50% of the auditions (he didn't do the live audition or go to judges houses)

This just destroys any little credibility the show has as it seems to be one rule for some and another rule for others.

I actually heard Gary say [about they other group] "but they are a foursome" meaning they got marked down for only having 3 members at judges house yet it didn't count against RC?

Don't expect any sort of consistency from this mob..I think they make it up as they go along!

My favourite is when they, again with str8 faces, say that someone singing a song from the 80s has chosen a "dated," song, while in the next breath, introduce their own contestant singing a 60s song..

For some reason I don't think the public will warm to them.

I think you have a good point there..they are a bit irritating..

I think the same thing about Hannah...I love her voice, but I'm growing tired, already of her bleating..

Rich.x

I'm the same. Hannah is becoming a bit repetitive and wailing all the time...:yawn:

I do like Luke Friend and Miss Dynamix though.

They did 4 performances - room audition, arena audition, boot camp & judge's houses - and he was there for the first 2. Also technically they have been watching them for years as they auditioned last year too

I love Rough Copy and I'm glad that Kaz has been let back in, I hope they win this year as they're my favourite act left in.

Because they are the chosen group this year and the producers will do all they can to push them. Reminds me of the late inclusion of george shelly into tripple j

Check the polls

Show is a joke, no idea how they can do this so unfair on everyone else

I like Rough Copy as they remind me of R+B group Jagged Edge but yes I can't see the public warming to them either

Firstly, does no-one remember previous years? Last year George was added to Union J at the judges houses stage... The year before that was even more of a farce. The Risk lost 2 members at the judges house stage, and a new guy (who had previously been in another band was added). Then in week 4 of the live shows, that's right, a month into the live shows someone else left and a guy from Nu Vibe joined... Yet you have a problem with an original band member being in his own band because he missed 2 performances due to VISA issues? I'm glad he's allowed to re-join them, I really like them.

Again check the polls

Because they auditioned as a GROUP & have been together for Years he missed what 2 performances

Also this he missed more than 50 % of auditions. They do alot more auditions before judges rounds so no he wont of missed 50% of Auditions.

Also they auditioned last year so they will of been watching them for years.

How would it be fair for him not to be there because he missed 2 rounds through other things out of what 6/7 auditions as dont they do like 2/3 rounds in front of producers etc we dont see?

I think the point is though if people know or don't know this is that Gary Barlow is doing everything in his power to get rough copy back together that's what he said.

Baring in mind the guy who lost his visa is a criminal and been done for assualt charges

Kick off a good clean family (Next Of Kin) to replace with a group who went as a duo and there Criminal friend is allowed back in

People should boycott X factor but they don't the public will make them all super famous and rich

Polls don't tell the whole picture BUT gives an indication

I like them and I know a lot of people who do as well I think they are the dark horses of the competition and will potentially be the last group standing.

I like them as well but I'm a bit wary that the public may not vote for them - they are certainly million times better than Kingsland Road

Would it have been so hard to let the three of them do the performance in the UK? The whole drama happened because he wasn't allowed out the country - so he was dropped from the group for the sake of flying to another country to do ONE performance, its all a bit of a nonsense really.

Yep you are right there were 4 auditions, so third member missed exactly 50% of them.

Odd that they weren't put through as threesome last year but were this year when member number 3 wasn't at *arguably* the most important auditions (bootcamp and judges house)
