Does anyone agree that it is insulting to the other contestants to have put Shirley through to bootcamp? She was clearly only put through to provide (weak) comic value at that stage of the competition.

Seems insulting seeing as there were actually proper singers who didn't even get to bootcamp, like Nikk Mager.

It was as insulting to Shirley as to singers like Nikk and indeed those who didn't make it in front of Cowell and co.

A couple of years ago, a Louis fan called Vickee was put through who seemed to know what she was doing and didn't come across as too deluded - she could even sing a bit. I was glad to see her get through to boot camp, and she wouldn't even have been the worst live finalist in XF history.

However, Shirley seems quite deluded about her vocal ability, and plans to return next year. She seems quite sweet, but perhaps a bit slow, and will never have a singing voice to work with. I didn't like the way she was featured on X or Xtra Factor tonight, and even the amount of coverage she received was unfair to her.

That was cheryls mistake, Louis had no choice but to put her through after declaring her love for him , cheryl should have said No. she was terrible at the first audition and worse at boot camp!

From what I've been told by auditionee's of the past series, there are far more people who can sing better than some of whom are put through to bootcamp.

It was cruel to put shirley through. Best to let them know they're not getting through from the start.
