They make the live shows fun and bring much needed drama and outrage to Louis' inevitable deadlocks

That's happened so often now I don't find it that fun personally.

Give me a good old shocking talent v talent sing off (Laura White V Ruth Lorenzo or Ella Henderson v James Arthur) over any semi memorable fodder being sacrificed to get in The Sun any day.

Four of Diamonds were the best group by far IMO. They're far superior to Little Mix. However Loius was always going to put through the Brooks and the joke act, leaving just 1 place. [3AM were not even the best of the boybands...]

I liked Four of Diamonds but let's be honest they'd be week 3 elimination fodder so I'd rather have a joke act that can be exploited for Deadlock drama

This lol.

I'd be more shocked if the judges took through the most talented acts now, I knew Ottavio and Bradley would make lives as soon as Louis was announced as their mentor.

I agree. The most entertaining novelty acts are the ones that know they're pretty **** but don't complain, get on with it and enjoy themselves just like Wagner did. The problem with them these days is that they're so contrived and fake it's ridiculous.. it's almost as if those two twats that went through tonight auditioned knowing that if they wore OTT clothes and acted like a pair of tools they'd automatically get through despite having 0 talent and that pretty much sums up most people who audition now. There are no naturally funny novelty acts anymore

I don't think X Factor has been a bonafide talent show since Alexandra's year, and even that might be pushing it. It's weekend primetime entertainment that masquerades as a talent show. Nothing more, nothing less. And the show at its peak was riddled with joke acts and faux dramas - and so it should. If you want a serious singing competition watch The Voice :shrug: but it's ****ing dull precisely because of that

I second the "even then."

Not hugely indicative I know, but I love in Penelope's ("bad" Spanish singer) Sharon sarcastically repeated "competition" at Simon when he asked if she remembered the rules.

Honestly, the lack of diversity is what offends me rather than who actually got through. Two groups that feature 'cute boys' will end up with one of them (probably 5am) getting sent home really early, since they're going to appeal to the same demographic and that's going to hinder their chances in terms of voting. I knew Louis was going to have Ottavio/Bradley through because they fit him to a tee. I just thought he'd put at least one girl act through.

Hard to be mad at Louis when it's unlikely that he makes any actual decisions when it comes to who goes through.

Exactly, Simon has a hand in all the final decisions, and as is par for the course some of the choices have been controversial, and I see his female helpers have got no flak for choosing an all male line up :think:

If he picked four of diamonds instead of Bradley and ottavio then he would have done well

kirklancaster 02-10-2016 09:12 AM

In my opinion, Four of Diamonds COULD sing really well, LOOKED good, and were the COMPLETE package. Walsh is a fecking joke.

Liam- 02-10-2016 09:31 AM

I don't mind a joke act as long as they're funny or at least a bit entertaining, Wagner is the prime example, but those two idiots Louis put through are nothing but hideous, he genuinely thinks people will like them and that they'll do well, nah, Rylan did it first.

He should never be able to pick acts or give advice on who to go through, just have him as a 5th opinion, that would suffice, rather than having us suffer the sorts of acts he puts through.

Louis is a stupid twonk with marbles in his flabby cheeks, he does the same rubbish every year:bored::crazy: ,
he's a predictable moron he's obsessed with boy bands and twins and he always thinks it's funny to put a couple of talentless Pratt's through as a joke act. I rightly guessed all his choices and wasn't a bit surprised . He put 5am through because he thinks it's another JLS . He put the flamboyant annoying duo through because he thinks it's funny how embarrassing they are . And the twins because he's obsessed with young guys especially slim twins
Louis just comes across as a clueless creep
Every year he does this just look at pathetic irritating acts like jedward , Wagner etc :bored:

I feel sorry for Tom and Laura I knew they wouldn't get through because Louis is a shallow sack of potatoes he doesn't like the look of them even though he himself looks like a old rust bucket

Louis should be sacked but it will never happen
