Does Austin deserve to be there?
I really don't like it when people have already had a stab at the charts yet they want more, and could possibly deny someone else who hasn't had a chance. If he was that good/liked by the public then he wouldn't have vanished.
I'm not denying that he has talent, I just don't find it fair that someone who has already been a singer in the charts gets another go. |

Why not? He's only been for a job interview like everyone else.
If people become unemployed we don't consign them to the bin. He was best in his category from what we saw by some considerable way. |

I actually don't like Austin, there is something about him that irrates me, he can sing, but he isn't as good as Laura, Amy, Rachel, Diana. They wrip the floor with him. |

I don't find Austin very likeable, he irritates me no end, but I do really like his voice. I loved his 'Valerie' last night, he does own the stage.

But Austin then appeared on a Channel Four (prime time) reality show called Boys Will Be Girls. I don't see why he shouldn't have a second or third chance but I really can't see him being a success story once the show ends even if he is the winner. imo. He is very madia savvy so has a huge advantage on the others already. The tears were a master stroke. Teen girls will be loving him as a result. |

He was in a group that was put together by a manager who wanted to see if five gay guys in a band would seel records. They didn't have any sort of success.

I'm not denying that he has talent, I just don't find it fair that someone who has already been a singer in the charts gets another go. The x factor is one of the best ways, nowadays, for an unknown to establish themselves as a 'name' and to guarantee record sales. Austin has figured this out and doing well in the competition is obviously really important to him. I certainly wouldn't deny him the chance. |

I agree. But if he get's into the live shows, the teenagers and most women will luv him because of his looks |

I think he's overrated. He may up his game as show progresses but for from what I've heard from him so far hasn't been that impressive IMO.

Nice voice, but I really dislike HIM. If he didn't cry every two seconds, and crawled out from his backside, I'd like him

![]() ![]() I met Austin at boot camp last year (so I guess this is his fourth chance, lol!) and I actually did like him then, and as a result I like him now. I thought he performed well last night, although so did some of the other guys. I liked Eoghan and Ricky but Austin's performance was probably the best overall in his category out of the ones which were shown. Most XF contestants (at this stage) have had some degree of experience in the music/showbiz industry, so Austin shouldn't be singled out because of the experience she's had. I'd heard of Boys Will Be Girls, but never of 5Boys. Suzie Furlonger from the Over 25s was in The 411, and I know quite alot of the words to their song Dumb, which featured in an advert and was a huge hit, although they only had one other hit. As she's been featured less on XF itself, she hasn't taken as much stick as Austin has for her past experience so far, but who knows what will happen if she gets more coverage on the next couple of shows ![]() xxxx |

He's not only been in boybands, he's auditioned for X Factor before. His voice is good but he is a third rate Lee Ryan impersonator. I couldn't believe the amount of make up they had plastered on him for last night's show. Quote:

Did they not feature his audition? Do you think you'll try again? |

I don't know why. ![]() The crying didn't help last night. A bit OTT considering everybody is in the same position. |

I thought his voice was okay but he looks like he's in pain anytime he goes for a note that's even remotely challenging. I cannot warm to him as a person at all though. Everything about him seems so contrived , the tears , the cliched dialogue , the edits with Simon praising him. You wouldn't think he'd had so much media exposure by the way it all seems so overwhelming for him.
But I don't think he does not deserve his place there. I mean , we had a British Soap Award winning actor come second before! |

I dislike him. When he sings he looks like his skin is about to fly off his face

His tears do seem put on imo. Not shocked at how media savvy he already is. I do like his singing voice but he does seem very sure of himself.
