Group made of a group that were a group that are now a group ...

... of a group.... or summat... anyway,

Anyone else find it really unfair what they did? With the group made of a group (etc etc etc) ?? Not only were two groups rejected at the last hurdle but they were kicked while they were down by other members being taken and given another chance to create "The Risk"

I know X Factor and these shows alike have to try and keep it interesting somehow but this was really a low blow I felt :(

[Visage]

It doesn't make great TV for me. I'm no fan of watching kids get put down and feeling humiliated. The whole swapping them around to form another band came across bad IMO.

[MusicXian]

Must be humiliating for the rejects. Terrible. I'm surprised Charlie accepted it.

I think one group (though goodness knows if I'm right, so many bloody changes) had been together a while. Great TV in the producers eyes. Possibly ruined potential careers for those guys

[Glenn.]

Yeh. I didn't go much on that decision. Although if they work hard, I'm pretty sure The Risk may be the best group the XF has seen.

I thought it was ridiculous Kerry, Tulisa has made a right mess of it in my opinion, they tell people in auditions there isn't time to do the work necessary to get them ready for the finals then at judges houses,she mucks about with them, taking 2 from here and 2 from there without even having them sing together again though. Unbelievable.

Yeah, wasn't he the 'lead' in the group who'd been together for ages?

[Kerry]

For some in the groups it's like they've been dangled on hooks.

"Come closer, come closer.......drop..... no wait, come closer, come closer.... drop"

[Jords]

Although the process is pretty cruel and naff considering were supposed to be finding the best groups out there already... its produces some really great talent which just doesnt get formed naturally that well.

[MusicXian]

I do agree Charlie was almost a solo. But I heard the others sing at some point and they were good too maybe they just needed to be told not to be reliant on Charlie not dropped altogether.

[Jords]

Id like to see Charlie as a sololist, hed definitely be my favourite out the Boys.

[Kerry]

I think in one of the auditions they all sang (or it might have been on XTra Factor) and all were good. One of the others at least as good as Charlie IMO

[Joelle.]

The group choices were awful, but why would they bother with the manufactured bands if they werent going to use them.

It should have been: The Keys, The Estrelles, The Risk (as they were) and 2 Shoes.

Tulisa disappointed me really. Kelly made best picks of all the judges. Rest made picks for 'the show' rather than their honest opinion probably.

I agree Kelly made the right choices definately. Tulisa, not up to the job I'm afraid.

Kelly couldnt mess up as all her acts at the judges houses were really good Imo.

[Jordan.]

I can't keep up with it, I honestly have no idea who is in which group and were they were originally.

[Kerry]

To be fair to Tulisa, I doubt it was she and she alone who did the swap/change thing. Sadly though, it will reflect badly on her

[Joelle.]

Kelly had it pretty easy anyway but I agree.

It's the best girls catagory overall since Series 5. :love:

Same here. Some went in as soloists, some are part of past groups. And now I think this group (The Risk) are soloists that were made into a group and then split and mixed with two from another group that were already a group....


Keeping up? :laugh2:

Actually that is a very good point jf.

[Patrick]

Seriously? Did they do that?

God they are relying on twist to seem relevant now :laugh: When will they accept they are [or were] a talent show?

Only IAC and Big Brother should be allowed to have twists.

Yeah. Not even sure if any of the groups are original :joker:

[Jords]

2 Shoes

[Kerry]

2 Shoes

And I think they may go first :/ Hate to sound all 'judgy' myself but theres no market for them

[Joelle.]

There seems to be more manufactured bands getting through every year. Next year they will probably all have been formed at bootcamp. :bored:

I think popularity will help them for a while... bit like Joe McElderry though, when it comes to crunch they dont play the part.
