When X Factor 5 comes round....
Will we get lots of numpties at the audition stage saying they can be the next Rhydian/Leona etc?
![]() I know one guy in XF3 (I think) said he could be the next Shayne - the look on Simon's face was brilliant ![]() Why do some people audition when theyre obviously so bad, or just not all there

I think we may get a load of 'joke' auditions and dont forget the sob stories
I just wonder how many genuine talents dont even get an audition after filling in an application form |

Just reading the bumff about applying, its the bit where they say that after you apply you may still not get an audition that gets me So how do they get the thickos??? Do they just turn up??? |

I remember seeing an article with the family of the... 'chubby'... girl who was in the dress that someone made for her. I can't remember exactly what was said, but the gist of it was that what was shown on tv was actually the second or third time they'd gone, and in all the other times they were told by "X Factor people" that she had a great voice and was exactly what Simon was looking for, and to make sure she wore that lovely dress, etc etc. Then she goes in front of the judges and they hammer her.
I don't know how much of it is true, but it goes a way to explaining the reactions of people sometimes. It wouldn;t suprise me. When one of the judges asked who made your dress it disgusted me. Clearly a set up to mock her. |

If its true about what they said to the chubby girl then that is pretty shocking
![]() Her enterance on the throne in the bad auditionees bit was funny ![]() Was Toshitko (sp?) - the wee Japanese woman, set up to take the piss? I felt kinda sorry for her They were laughing at her and patronising her and she was so polite.I dont mind the joke auditions but ban the sob stories. I thought Chico and even Rhydian were car crash auditions (Rhydian's before he did DQ). Chico made the mistake of trying to imitate Prince - ouch!

Read Chart Throb by Ben Elton and you'll never feel the same about the X Factor auditions again.

Of course the bad ones are hand picked as well as the good ones and I'm sure a few good ones slip through the net. The judges couldn't possibly get through 150,000 auditions personally. They are making an entertainment show as well as a talent show and for many, the crappy auditions are the highlight of the whole thing.

So? I think he really stood out, despite not winning.
