Thank goodness for that. At least one part of the farce is out of the way.

You mightn't be saying that by week 3 or 4.....wouldn't be the first year a supposedly promising set of finalists has turned out to be mediocre
![]() ![]() Maybe mediocre to some people and maybe I will find certain acts that others will like very mediocre too. It is a real shame that some acts didn't get through but it's time to move on ![]() BUT.........wildcards could still be possible so hold on to your seats folks!!

From what i have read of what Louis said was " This year the Judges have no option for a Wildcard " , Which really leaves the producers plenty of Wriggle room , if things are going pear shaped and they want to introduce the wildcard chosen by the public or in another form . They may intoduce something that is essentially a wildcard but call it something else

No....it's mainly because I think it's a very poor final 12 this year and will be shown to be such in coming weeks.

Andrea, Zoe, Brick City, Xyra, Melanie, Jade and Paul were all much stronger than the majority that got through. Of course, it shouldn't need pointing out that this is just my opinion, but it probably will |

It would still be a poor final 12 with or without Melanie.

She would have been out first like Caroline in week one.
I think her presence would have helped the line up a great deal, and Paul and probably Joseph too. There isn't actually that much variety amongst the stronger ones this year. |

Neah, her fan base is too big. I think she would have at least made it to the latter part of the competition.

I highly doubt she would have.
The ratings would still be the same nobody cares about the fact she didn't make it through. Thankfully there are no wildcards this year having the final 12 is enough.this year.

On the topic of Melanie, if they wanted her on the Live Shows, I don't think she would have been given airtime. She was pimped early but wasn't meant to make it.

She wasn't memorable enough and would only be cannon fodder in the final 12.

She's doing a very big TV show tomorrow and today there have been thousands upon thousands of tweets directed at Cowell to bring in a wildcard for her. Yep totally unmemorable and unremarkable. So, go figure. But then, that's the problem isn't it? Certain fans of other contestants just want her to go away. |

You obviously weren't on twitter to see the backlash people went apeshit and you obviously didn't read the papers about the articles about the fan outrage?
You contradict yourself with this post to be fair. What you fail to understand is nobody cares if Melanie fans vent their frustration on social media. The decision was already made no amount of moaning or tweeting Simon begging him to give her a wildcard will change their mind. |

Think the Maloney issues last year would be a factor.
The likes of the Brummie guy with the kid would have won and he would have been difficult to get shot of once in |

Yes, it seems they used her solely to create a dramatic moment at Judges House and never had the slightest intention of putting her through (the judges comments at her audition about this being her year sound strangely scripted in retrospect).
![]() The poor girl was cannon fodder clearly just to make a drama |
