No The X Factor UK needs to stop with the gimmicks.

Ollie will probably replace him. Although it would be amazing if somehow they allow charli beard to join the boys category just because she deserves a spot

Ollie is great. :lovedup:

Ollie is ****

good he was boring

Great news

Papsidero isn't 'gimmicks' omg

hes actually pretty good

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Mock, Papsidero is the last thing this show needs, he's awful, not even because he's a full on walking gimmick.

Papsidero was lovely not here for this hate

He is but X factor is an entertainment show as well as a talent show, The show needs those types of people to make it interesting.. not like they are ever going to win so who really cares

I mean let's be honest, it's highly likely to be Ollie if there's a returnee (but again, Nathaniel is the fair choice).

I want it to be Nathanael if Papasidero isn't picked.

Of course it'll be Ollie, they wouldn't not give the pretty boy a shot honestly

I think Ollie would be good on the live shows.

I think that he could be good on live shows too actually

His a perfect example of why this show is dying.

What would you think of him if he just stood there and sang? His clearly not confident that he'd be good hence the angel wings.

And I normally would like him more if the calibre of contestants was higher elsewhere, and less gimmicky, we don't need to add another one on top that makes Fleur East look stripped back last year.

Don't think he is any good. His voice sounds screechy and false.

I'm astounded by the hate this guy has received - I assume it's because his voice isn't ~normal~ but maybe it's just me but I quite enjoy it when someone's voice is out of the ordinary...there's nothing worse than a carbon copy of the latest low rent pub singer :sleep:

I get the 'boring' accusations but give me a bore with an intriguing voice over a bore with a bog standard voice any day

The guy who wore all the ~crazy~ costumes needs to be brought back, should never have gotten rid of him over some of the bores sat on those chairs :idc:

Mock, the show isn't dying because of gimmicky acts, it's dying because the producers haven't got a braincell between them. Just look at the schedule for a start

His voice wasn't that extraordinary tbh Jack_, it was just another Bronski Beat.

If they turned it back to the series 6 style where there was only Jedward and Olly that was gimmicky acts I bet that the ratings would go back up a couple of million viewers which is all the difference for it to get out of the red and into the black so to say.

Edit... It's not to say that there isn't other problems with the show as there clearly is, but I bet that's the biggest bug to bare for most of the general public and I can't say that I blame them.

The show also needs to learn to respect peoples votes more as well.

Don't get me wrong, I can't really stand novelty acts most of the time but I just think there's bigger problems at the moment. Also, you found Olly gimmicky? I've never heard that from anyone :laugh:

Pissyhairdo > your favourite.

He got a bad edit, every time someone hit a nice note, the camera would pan to his disappointed face. Also he was the only one not shown standing for Seann. Wonder if that had anything to do with it..

Well someone that doesn't rely on their vocals at all on a singing show (or so it pretends to be) then I class them as a gimmicky act, this includes joke acts, shouters, and dancers.
