Louis...
 

Doesn't put through a single female, thoughts?

Pervy old gay

I'm absolutely shook I could not have predicted he would do thishttp://i.imgur.com/tFpBDjX.gif

He's not attracted to the opposite sex.

its funny how he said he can't put through two boy bands but can put through two duos.

He should have picked
1 boy band
1 girl band
1 duo

I can't believe he didn't put Scarlet though, like wtf

non of them were special

Four Of Diamonds were amazing so excuse yourself

He's great for live shows but needs to be overruled when it comes to selecting his acts

As usual. It's predictable, he's clueless.

Best judge of all time

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

Literally sent home the best of the groups and put through the worst, no one wants them on the lives

People said the same about Little Mix that they would last only a few weeks

They aren't Little Mix and also they had the benefit of Tulisa as a mentor and not Louis :joker:

Really awful decisions but it's not that I care about gender if they had genuinely been better but they weren't. Simon's decisions were awful too.

If Lou Lou had been their mentor they would have been out by week three.

It would have been nice to see them given a chance either way.

Wait, is Louis gay?!

robbed

So how is he the best judge of all time again

Objectively speaking he should probably have put them through over The Brooks but I need a yearly twink fix so

Notice I said judge, not mentor

He's the best judge of all time purely for the trollish decisions he makes which has everyone fuming, and the iconic deadlock dramas he drags out

I have no idea why 12 years on people continue to take him or this show seriously :joker:

I'm bored of pretending to be outraged by him.

The couple would have been overwhelmed in live shows and given stuff like waiting for a star to fall as song choices which would have been cabaret.

The chavvy boyband were awful

And both girl groups were never going to get the public on side, because the main demographic would label them as stuff they aren't. 'Slaggy' or 'aggressive' x

More offended by Simon's basic ass choices to be perfectly honest.

I guess the same reason you still take BB seriously after 16 years, not everyone wants the show to be a joke.

But the show isn't a 'joke' :unsure: with the exception of last year's godawful series (doesn't that tell you something) it has been this way for like...eight years?

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

A bit tactless, all the fans of 5am will also be fans of The Brooks and they cant vote both.. but I suppose theres only one winner.. I always think having the most acts progress towards the end is the way to 'win' but I suppose its not.

Yes it is a joke lol, it's more predictable and forced than ever. Maybe if it went back to being a talent show like the Alexandra year it wouldn't continue to decline every year. But no, I guess Louis trolling the public is what people want :unsure:

I agree with absolutely all of this :suspect:

I agree with all of this too :suspect:

If people loved bonafide talent competitions so much then The Voice would do better than it does, and X Factor wouldn't have peaked in the two years following Alexandra's year :shrug: and dare I say would've continued to had Simon not gambled on XF US and made a catastrophic mistake with the UK's panel

People aren't going to acknowledge that's what they want, no. But they are gonna talk about it, and they are gonna complain about it, and (most) of them will keep flooding back again and again for the controversy. One of the many mistakes they made last year was not having a joke act and trying to make the show too 'serious' and look how that turned out. It's dull. The X Factor is a living, breathing primetime entertainment juggernaut riddled with faux dramas and controversy, this is nothing new and hasn't been for a very long time

Reggie and Bollie say hello

The voice actually has good ratings so not sure why it's being used as a receipt to discredit "serious" talent shows

Well they started out as one I agree but things changed at the lives, a genuine joke act doesn't make the final two

At the Blind Auditions yes, because it's an (admittedly) clever gimmick that discerns it from shows like X Factor, it falls apart when they're over though because the rest of the format is an incoherent mess. The fact they have three live shows is appalling. Don't the coaches still pick who makes the semi final? It's all over the place, and the live shows lack the punchy production and drama that XF has. Every performance gets a standing ovation (:umm2:) which weakens their meaning, it's a massive love-in amongst the coaches, everyone's ~amazing~, etc etc

Reggie and Bollie were always the joke act nothing changed.

They remained a joke act until the final 2. All you had to do was look at twitter every Sunday night, they reached the final 2 because people wanted to stick it to Simon Cowell much like when Joe lost the Christmas number one.

I don't even mind joke acts IF they have a degree of talent like say Katie Waissel or Kitty Brucknell and at first when Wagner was involved it was genuinely hilarious but with every year it's gotten so ****ing stale. 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.

(And cheryl fans voting them because they were mentored by cheryl)

How were Reggie N Bollie not a joke act? They are awful singers. :umm2:

Oh I agree they're not the best joke act by any means, and there were quite a few this year sent home at Bootcamp I'd have preferred to stick around (the Friday Night guy being one of them), but I'd still rather have a joke act than not. They make the live shows fun and bring much needed drama and outrage to Louis' inevitable deadlocks

That doesn't make someone a joke act lol or else plenty of ~serious~ acts throughout the years were joke acts. They weren't even that bad and they were good performers and brought much needed fun to what were otherwise awful live shows, I think that's why they succeeded

It's right they didn't win, but still
