Nope. Definitely not talented unless copying GaGa's style counts as "talent" .What made her "bad" was the show keeping her long after the joke got old .She was actually just forgettably average vocally rather than "bad".

Yeah Singy is right Kitty was horrific, agree re Rachel Hylton and yeah I would say also that Louisa had potential tho her tone can be a bit harsh

Yep. Her vocals and performances were some of the best of live shows. Incredibly underrated.

by definition aren't the acts that someone dislikes most the worst in their opinion ?

same as you listed 4th impact as one of the best acts because you like them

Ones i truly cringed at.. Mason noise, chris baloney, stereokicks, rylan, tamera foster, fleur east.
Singy Thingy

Nah. It seems like people listed who they genuinely heard as worst.Of those that appear several times in these lists,(Kitty/Chico/Frankie/etc) all can fairly be described as sub par as singers/performers. I actually liked Chico, but he can't sing. I disliked Rachel as portrayed on the show, but after X Factor she developed her skill and she CAN sing, hence not the worst.

yeah Rachel can sing very well, Its just a shame how she went about it on the show!

people like Tamera, Louisa and Fleur who are actually talented and can sing don't known why they are listed? lol bit of a joke.

Chico kitty Frankie etc I definitely agree to

I based it on Chico/Kitty/Frankie can't sing because they just don't have the voices ,even if they somewhat have the skill.

Fleur I adore, and cannot understand why she was listed. She, Tamera, and Louisa all have good voices, regardless of how skilled they were at using them while on the show, and all gave at least one memorably good performance,so I agree with you.

Yes this is it they all improve after the show, better vocal coaches, learning technique, own material and more confidence - Fleur voice now is so different as is Louisa and I haven't heard Tamera's yet but she would have improved

Obvious ones are Diva Fever, Chris Maloney, all the joke acts etc. But I didn't rate people like Fleur, Tamera and Lauren Platt...all completely overrated.

i think kitty had a much better voice than she gets credit for

problem is she was a bit eccentric and the show really played on that and made her out to be a bit crazy and she went along with the ridiculous songs, outfits and staging they gave her

I know this will be controversial but i really rated Mason Noise, I thought he was a prize pillock at first but he really grew on me!

I thought that he was one of the few acts in the show capable of becoming a credible up to date creative chart artist!

And lets be honest does anyone really believe his shenanigans at 6 chair weren't staged to some degree???

I liked Mason .... Just cant see him setting charts alight when Craig David is back, and Justin Beiber now James Arthur and all the one D lads going solo, what can he do that they can't...

I think they wasted Mason. He did have the package to become an artist relevant in todays market but they put him up as this bad boy figure and then emasculated him. There were a million good songs he could have been given to showcase him as a credible R&B singer but they gave him Bieber and Jonas pop songs.

I honestly don't think they've ever had a clue about what to do with soul/r&b acts. They either give them r&b lite pop or old soul classics with a really dated production.

Look at JLS. At their audition they did a Shai song and were influenced by Boys II Men and Jodeci but they turned them into the black Westlife

"Wasted" is a really good term ! I thought him doing well post X factor might just have returned some credibility and relevance to the show!

But you are totally right the panel and production team are too dated they really need to find a modern judge/producer that fits and rather than getting him/her to submit to their dated practices they should adapt the show to be more current and relevant!

So basically most of the acts that have had success and even worldwide success.

Sam Callaghan. He is the one act in the show who I genuinely could not see anything appealing in to understand why he got through so far. 🤔

I agree, I think Kitty was talented and a good performer.

people wonder why i rated these as the worst.

Mason - was ok but he completely murdered " end of the road" and that performance highlighted his limited capabilities. Don't try to do a song as big as that unless you are not just good, but damn good.

Chris- terrible singing voice even more terrible technique.

Fleur- good dancer, but her singing was dreadful, she was a bit like reggie and bollie and would rely heavily on jumping around and doing energetic performances to carry her through but when you take that all away the vocals were consistently weak.

Tamera- kept forgetting the words, dont do that, if you do, ad lib, turn it around, terrible.

For the record Fleurs singing is not dreadful she might have struggled sometimes on XF as she wasn't using her voice correctly, yet she still sang in tune and performed every week - since she's trained with a proper vocal coach she has learned her technique and she is actually a very good singer, with a decent range she barely has a rasp anymore because she sings properly. Just saying, reggie and bollie can not sing Fleur can

Tamera forgot lyrics but she also has a good voice though sometimes she struggled with key
