I was so annoyed with her not picking Duane and Ethan was hot! Haha my fickle side coming out now! :joker:

Yeah that Daniel would even have been a better choice than either Ricki or Lloyd, they are so weak compared to most of the others.

Maybe Michael Buble or Whitney will put in a word for her somewhere, they both seemed to love her!

That's the thing, Robbie, Whitney and Michael ALL loved her and were just meh about most of the others, I really hope she gets a record deal or something, I mean look at Laura White, she's gone and done it!

I don't really agree with the Danyl support in this article. It seems like the writer is trying to make us feel sorry for him after last week. The truth is, he WAS bad this week and Cheryl was just doing her job on the panel and telling him the truth. I don't think she intentionally meant to send him into tears.

It makes me wonder what the public actually look for in "personnality" though. I mean If you take Lucie for example, I do think she's a very good singer but she doesn't seem to have much personnality, Stacey is thick as a ditch, to me Rachel had the best personnality of the 3 of them and a great voice but people didn't like her? She seemed nice, genuine, bubbly and intelligent

They don't give a damn about talent. The meaning of the show is lost on them.

Im not ashamed of watching it, its a good TV programme with some good talent, however it is being corrupted by gossip and them pair of twits. So other that that, very interesting reading. Just think its a tad dramatic to say you are ashamed of watching it :joker:

Jeez I think this article takes it all a little too seriously, it isn't that cruel, the contestants are living in luxury at the moment, behind the camera. They have the biggest opportunities of their lives, and all these really bad auditions... well those people even get a bit of fame thats dragged throughout the whole show, probably getting them a lot of money.

It really isn't that cruel... and compared to human entertainment we have had in history, this is mild. The writer of this article has clearly never been in the performing arts industry, because it gets a hell of a lot harder than any puny X Factor, the contestants get it easy... a hell of a lot easier than anyone trying to make it on their own.

Struggling to gain recognition on your own and being pushed into a media frenzy such as the contestants are subjected to, where every minute detail of their lives is scrutinized and ridiculed, are on different planets alltogether in terms of pressure. They didn't work for their celebrity and it comes and goes in a blink of an eye, with many of their experiences not worth remembering.

You're looking at this through your own eyes right now and not taking the time to analyse from a social stand point. The X Factor serves to illustrate the kind of society that we're living in right now.

And I really doubt it is as bad as they are making it sound, the comments firstly are nothing, and I have had heard worse personally, in a professional atmosphere. The fame is obviously going to happen and they should of expected it, they are not forced on stage all of this was choice. They have probably got a contract now but they were not forced to sign it.
This paper makes the x factor sound like a devil and that we as viewers are ripping them apart, we are not... we are watching entertainment, how about all those performers booed off stage, bottles thrown on stage yaddy yadda, maybe that should be talked about more? As I said the X Factor contestants get it easy, the hardest thing to cope with is fame, and they have themselves to blame for that.
