hhhmmm not sure I like that tbh I think it's too young to be setting kids up for a fall like that

[Vanessa]

That's way too young. :umm2:

[Mystic Mock]

Here's why having 14 year olds on the show is wrong.

...well last time this happened we got the Lady Shiverz drama and the age limit being 12 on XFUS gave us this

There's a big debate to be had about the effect that the pressure of shows like this can have on people that young, so um I'd say quite a lot of people will care. And I don't think they'd have tweeted this if people didn't care either

[Brother Leon]

Ergh. It's going to be like BGT with all these tiny 14 year olds that look 10 getting votes.

[Vanessa]

I'm not voting for anyone that young.

[Jordan.]

They need to stop, 14 & 15 year olds aren't relevant

[Black Dagger]

It's like they haven't learnt from Emily Nakanda.

And I ****ing hate stage school kids. That Asanda on BGT last year who made the final was an odious little brat.

No ty not here for the likes of Salman being able to audition http://i.imgur.com/CgOMxII.png

[Vanessa]

Are they looking for another Bieber? D:

[zakman440]

:fist: When will they learn?!

[King Gizzard]

Urrrrgggh sob stories and preferential treatment from the judges because of their age

[Vanessa]

[Jords]

Likelihood of a 14 year old having a sell-out album is minimal.
POINTLESS keep it at 16.

[Jordan.]

He/She's only fourteen! :dog:

You so know we're gonna hear this... multiple times.

[Z]

Clearly not enough viable talent auditioning for the show anymore, plus they can exploit kids at that age AND the viewing public into buying into whatever they manipulate these kids to do. There's nothing wrong with a consenting adult being taken advantage of by SyCo because at least they're old enough to know what they're getting in for, but opening this up to impressionable 14 year olds is asking for trouble.

[reece(:]

Not here for these kid auditions, the ruin BGT as it is

[Firewire]

hope this means zendaya is the next judge :love:

[BBfanUSA]

The 13 year old singers on XFUS Series 2 were actually pretty good and stable.

Carly Rose Sonenclare <3
Diamond White <3

[Me. I Am Salman]

it's weird they'll have contestants born in the 00s, soon enough the show itself will be older than some of them (providing it doesn't get axed of course)

but ugh they shouldn't even have 16 & 17 year olds let alone 14-15. And tbh they shouldn't even let over 35s apply. the recent final 3 was a MESS

[joeysteele]

Then all we will hear is, you are not ready for this come back in a year or two.

[Sophiee]

Then all we will hear is, you are not ready for this come back in a year or two.
exactly. and we'll hear no end of the "I can't believe she/he is only 14!" comments. :sleep:

[King Gizzard]

Yah, even though it's probably really ageist I think the age range should be about 17-30 at a push

[Gstar]

ya'll love to complain, personally I don't even care

[Joelle.]

No thanks. 16 year olds are young enough, it should be 18+ ideally.
