Deadlock to be scrapped next series?

[zakman440]

A source said: “Viewers want to see the judges make actual decisions. What are they actually getting paid for – just sitting there and smiling?

“Deadlock used to be an exciting element of the show – when the power was given back to the viewer. But now it’s just boring as it’s used almost every week.

Whaaaat? Why would they even think about scrapping deadlock? It's one of the best parts of the show, hence why the flash-vote last year flopped.

They always say this, it won't happen

Just bring in 4 or 5 independent people as a panel to judge the sing offs,with 5, there could be no deadlock.
It would also remove the nonsense of whatever they sing, however they peform in a sing off, if there are 2 acts from 2 different judges/mentors,where half the votes for who goes home being decided even before the sing off takes place.

Four judges voting is completely pointless. Just skip wasting time on that and go straight to the public vote.

I wish there wasn't no judges vote just them mentoring then the audience decides who goes out. Or like someone said just have a stand alone judging panel with no say and no mentoring

I want it to be like Fame Academy when the saved contestants had to vote for who they wanted to stay :love:
