I don't buy that, why wasn't that made clear then?? plus why did the spokesman say it wasn't over the visa that she wasn't picked? Trying to get Cheryl out of trouble I think.
|
oh come on it's the x factor. they let that crazy 'mercy' woman through and only after weeks of bootcamp did they tell us she was insane.
|
well, I for one would like to hear more about this visa issue tbh maybe even a statement from Gamu confirming it.
|
She still didnt have to put through 2 girls who didnt bother singing at all though,for sure at the judges houses and also boot camp too, Treyc was miles better at the house and also at boot camp.
It has to be realised that Cheryl put 2 girls through to 'live' finals of a singing/performing show who neither sang or performed anything to her, one not at all and the other unable get to the 2nd verse of a song. That was rediculous,she had other girls, not just Gamu anyway and the words 'may not' in the, her visa 'may' not be renewed statement, does not say for certain it will 'not' be. |

ITV have rejected claims that X Factor Gamu Nhengu was kicked off the show because of worries over her immigration status. As support builds for her to be re-instated, with a Facebook group called Gamu Should Have Got Through now boasting 130,000 members, Gamu is now reacquainting herself with reality back in Scotland. Previously enjoying a taste of the glitzy X Factor lifestyle, Gamu has returned to the small flat she shares with her mother and two young brothers. While the acts that made it through to the final 12 are settling into their £3.5m mansion and getting makeovers. Gamu's beautiful voice won her millions of viewer's hearts but Cheryl Cole told her: "It's just a question for me now as to whether you brought the star quality that I was looking for" She was later told she would not be in Cheryl's final three acts. It has been reported that Cole was influenced by fears that Gamu's visa will shortly run out and may not be renewed, but a spokeswoman for the ITV1 talent show said: "Gamu's visa being processed was not the reason that she didn't make the final 12." The 18-year-old, who had dreams of helping her family escape their current tiny home, had those hopes shattered and was left inconsolable after Sunday night's rejection. Speaking to the Mail Gamu's mother said the singer was "around but she doesn't know if she can speak to anyone". ITV then called Gamu to let her know she could speak to reporters but she declined to do any interviews. Gamu moved to the flat in Clackmannanshire, near Stirling, Scotland, with her mother Nokuthula and her two brothers Milton, 12, and Marty, 10, from Zimbabwe eight years ago. There is one last chance for Gamu in the competition though – she may be brought back as Cheryl's 'wildcard', after it emerged that judges may be allowed to reintroduce an act that didn't make it through to the final 12. Gamu has so far been gracious in defeat and has thanked her adopted country for giving her the chance to compete. She said: "It would not have been possible... I regard myself as a Scottish contestant because this country has been so good to me. "I have loads of great friends and loads of good people around me. It has been great." At the weekend Gamu was note perfect, while her rival Katie Waissel appeared to forget the words to Charlie Chaplin's Smile. She then broke down in tears, before being allowed to start again. |
Sounds like a damage limitation number from the PR group at the X Factor, but I'm not buying it. And sure why is Gamu getting all the focus anyway? She picked two girls who couldn't even sing on the day, that's the issue, while the rest of them sang very well and got shafted.

As I've said before, it's difficult to seperate fact from fiction when it comes to any tabloid human interest story. I'm certainly not convinced with Cheryl's "you're not old enough yet" excuse, which should have excluded Cher from getting through.

She still put through Katie and Cher, they were the worst performers over all, clearly the malaria made her :crazy:

Pffft, load of rubbish, they're just trying to cover up for 'Queen Cheryl', although I doubt it was even her decision who went through anyway, doesn't Simon have the overall say in things? He's just trying to limit the backlash on his precious angel :rolleyes:

At the end of the day Cher and Katie are far, far more interesting. It's not all about the voice on the 'X Factor' - it's a combination of vocal ability, stage presence, personality, the 'look', how 'different' they are etc. Whilst Cher and Katie weren't the most vocally talented, they are certainly a damn sight more interesting than the likes of Keri [who?], that girl who got rejected for a second time and TreyC [whom I do like, but she isn't that interesting]. Cher is very different to what we've ever had on X Factor, and Katie is quirky and interesting. Both will be far more entertaining/worth watching that the others would've been. I like Gamu [on par with Rebecca], and also felt sorry for her, and wouldn't have minded if she got through...but this obsession with her is really OTT...she wasn't that great.

And as for katie, quirky and interesting? I would say annoying and irritating. |

Even if that's the case people will still blame Cheryl because people love to hate and find blame figures.

At the end of the day the winner has to be commercially viable, just the same as it is right across the industry - acts like Keri who, admittedly, have good voices, but have no personality, no stage presence, nothing that stands out about them won't sell. At least with Cher and Katie you know they're going to be interesting performances, if Keri had've gone through it would've been snore, snore snore :sleep: |
Quote:
I see Katie as another Diana Vickers type, to be honest. You'll either love her or you'll hate her - but that's why she deserves her spot, much more to her than some of the rejected girls. |

What you consider personality is what I call vapid, manipulative and false. I prefer a voice with genuine warmth and style... the rest can be worked on with the right mentor. |

messing up 2 out of 3 auditions should not be tolerated imo.
