It must be hard to watch terrible performances get through when some truly great singers are sent home

The girl that sang with Gifty and Analise? We didn't even hear her sing solo

and several other examples showed that if Xfactor want you to like someone they create that arc and if they want you to forget someone you just don't show them

I know it is what it is and we are all aware , its just a shame people fall for it and waste their time

agreed but it's a tv show, like a film often doesn't go the way you prefer.

Yeah I agree plenty of talented singers get no's all the time, it's up to them to try again, this is the X Factor though - it's more that just about how many octaves you have - image, performance, attitude, work ethic - you need it all - the voice show is all about the voice and how many stars have been produced by them? 0

Seems accurate representation of the music industry though.

but tbh image hasn't been the biggest part recently, if you look at the finalists many were there for their voice (not all of course) and for example kyleigh (the fat girl) this year gets to judges houses (we don't know yet what happens there)

Yeah I know but in the grand scheme of things they are looking for image over voice

I have to agree. Why they sent Chanal home is a mystery as she performed as well as Anelisa and Gifty in their group performance.

I was watching it up until three acts sang See You Again. The lad in the blue jacket sounded like he was in pain and sounded absolutely terrible. The other two sounded ok, but yet blue jacket lad was also put through.

Dumb & Dumber were also put through which speaks volumes.

The producers must be taking crack cocaine behind the cameras if they think Dumb & Dumber are talented.

We literally didn't hear her sing or are you psychic now?


It's annoying especially for those who auditioned and didn't get through bootcamp but they can't physically show every single person who auditioned or else we'd be watching auditions for half the year. Therefore if you get further you're more likely to be shown.

Yes, we did hear Chanal sing, but not on her own. She also had one of the best auditions in the first round.

I'd rather an entertaining show full of interesting performances, vocalists, and song choices than looking for the next Justin Bieber or Whitney Houston for the male and female prototypes.

And besides The X Factor has two acts that made it big worldwide, that's not exactly something to be proud of after making 13 series that are about producing a "popstar" so maybe they should think about turning it more into The Voice and actually get some decent live shows together instead of most of the acts being identicate to one another like the last series had.

I really hope that 'The Voice' becomes more popular than XF in the New year.

Acts like Heather, Cody, and Vangelis would slaughter the last couple of series of The X Factor's talent pool.

Even the winner in Kevin was vocally way more talented than most of The X Factor winners who tend to not be able to sing very well at all.

We can only hope that Cowell wont be involved in it.

Oh I'm sure he will be, and then the usual happens where acts that sing different types of Music to Whitney Houston will be ridiculed, told they're dull, and then voted off.

Talented people get cut in the music industry all the time, but...

Would it have killed them to screen cap everyone who showed up on stage to sing. The editing was awfully obnoxious. 3 people singing, but not even a note from some.

If they make it that far, throw them and their family a few crumbs and at least acknowledge their names.

You are so right. Chanal who sang with Gifty and Anelisa was sent home for no good reason. I would imagine she was furious. I know that I would have been.

I was sad about that girl who sang with Kayleigh because it was obvious they'd never put her through because she was cross-eyed, but she was actually fairly decent as a singer.

Chanal at least got her audition shown. What about the other 2 guys singing with Niall Sexton? They edited the performance so that only he sang and didn't even tell us who the others were.

I don't think more than half a dozen of those cut from Rooms B and C were given any screen time whatsoever.

Did Relley's bit air on TV? I watch the show on Youtube and they showed the stupid chicken dorks instead of the actually talented one

All they showed of Relly was when she walked on. It was shocking.

That's what I thought, one of them could be unbelievably talented! and we will never know

The first room they said no to, I didn't recognise a single person - poor saps genuinely thought they were being given a fair chance and probably couldn't believe that they'd be edited out like they didn't exist

i think there was that couple that got married at the audition

I agree - those two along with Honey G are the reason I take X factor with a pinch of salt. It would be nice if they were genuinely looking for talent, but all they care about is "good TV". I didn't mind Chico and Jedward, but the joke's wearing a bit thin these days.
