Strikes me that, if shewas 7 when her Mum died, she can't remember her THAT much.
Can we have Dermot now telling the media how his blood is sent boiling by having to pander to talentless nobodies who are happy to exploit their dead relatives in the pursuit of a tasteless lifestyle? |

I agree with Dermot. It is supposed to be about singing not what has happened in your life so why do we have to listen to the sob stories? Another thing that is really starting to grind with me is how many of the contestants have connections and already had careers either singing acting or dancing. I have heard better karaoke singers but they don't have sob stories or go to Brit school so they wouldn't stand a chance of getting on X Factor these days.

I agree with what Dermot said but it's the producers to blame really, not the contestants. It strikes me that as soon as a producer gets a hint of a "dead relative" then there they are with cameraman and spray-on tears.

Who is Amy Connolly again?
Oh yes the very average girl who used the death of her mother as emotional backmail on the judges. Without that she would have never got past the first round.

Well, if it's true what he said then he is two faced. ie say one thing to a persons face and something completly different elsewhere.
Anyway sob stories are controlled and edited by the producers, I dont know why people are having a go at Amy about it. |

Dermot, although I agree with him, shouldn't be slagging it off anyway. He knew what the job entailed when he took it and I'm sure he's more than happy with the paycheck at the end of it.
Would like to see Kate back, she's way better than him anyway! |

Dermot on Celebrity Juice was brilliant. Especially when he went into a tirade against the sob stories.
Amy Connolly didnt even need to mention her mother died 12 years ago, why is it even relevant. |

I agree with Love Bear, Dermot knew what the job was like when he took it. I don't think anyone is forcing him to come back year after year. He does have the right to say whatever he likes, but if he says one thing in public and a different thing to the contestants when hugging them, then I am afraid that does make him two-faced (please note the "if" in this sentence).
Don't make this all about Amy, most of the people on the X-Factor have a "story". If you watch the original audition, the judges questions bring out that particular story, and that time is the only one I can recall in which Amy has mentioned this to the judges. |

I think he was using it as an example, rather than making an example of Amy. Although she should be pleased - she's got another two seconds of fame out of applying this comment to herself...

I don't think Amy is bothered about what Dermot really thinks, it's the fact that Dermot was comforting her every day about her mum and then Dermot turns into Mr Nasty and starts saying he doesn't care about sob stories.
. I've gone off Dermot...

Well, why do they simply not say anything, then there's nothing for the producers to exploit - this shows been going a while now, everyone knows how it works. The winner of American Idol had a stonking 'sob story' which only came out because of a hospitalisation during the series - after that he refused to speak about it during the course of the show, despite several attempts to get him to talk about it. It's quite easily done, just don't mention it, and there's nothing to sob about |

Leon didn't mention his dead father at his first audition (though, yes I know, it did come up much later).
Amy, as hard as losing your mother young is - and I know this from personal experience - mentioning it at the audition is like asking for special treatment. Your singing ability is more than enough on its own - I love your voice, but I don't want to be asked to support you because of the past or because of pity. We support you in our house, let me stress that again, but because you sing beautifully. |

I say bring back Kate too. I preferred her and she always seemed genuinely caring for the contestants. |

The producers can't force this information out of auditionees. They have a choice to keep private information to themselves or to prostitute their dead relatives to get a singing audition.
It reaches a bad point where we're expected to feel sorry for a woman who was so stoned on drugs that they took her kids into care. Oh the poor love, I'm sure that she was thinking of her kids while looking for a vein. By the way, what are the chances that the OP's username isn't just made up? |

TBH, I watched the Celebrity Juice show and Dermot was just trying to be funny, it was that type of show/comment, I wouldn't have taken it seriously.

That`s what I think too, he didn`t mention any names, just said what a lot of others, on here, and elsewhere, have been saying for a long time. That we`ve had enough of the sob stories!!! |

But Simon said after her responce about her father: 'what has he done for you amy' Then she want on to say so? If someone asks, tell them. I like Amy, and i don't think she is using her mothers death to get this far, Amy has talent. Take her/leave her. As for Dermot-she's right. He's horrible and doesnt care about anyone. |

He must be pretty desperate if he has to resort to saying he doesn't care about people's dead relativtes to be funny. |

i thought dermot was funny. he was just saying what most of us think. but i dont think he should have said it knowing there were at least 2 contestants there who have got dead relatives
he could have just said "i don't like sob stories". he didn't need to say it like that |
