Are people allowed to have a negative opinion about Matt and Rebecca?
 
Without being shouted down?, I personally like them both and obviously everyone has different tastes but it seems to me certain acts can be criticised but when a certain acts get it hell hath no fury.

Smithy 28-11-2010 08:22 PM

Its the same with anyones act, if someone says something negative about any act their fans will defend them

Supermum 28-11-2010 08:25 PM

Yeah go for it

King Gizzard 28-11-2010 08:26 PM

Anyone can say stuff about any act, positive or negative

Just fans have knee jerk reactions (my self included) in shows like this and sometimes it goes a lil too far

Wouldn't take it personal Reggieburger

You havent been on the DS main forum then? LOTS of Matt bashing there...

Seems its Cher who is immune from criticism...not others :/

People purposely arguing in every negative cher thread to try and get it closed, saying everything anti-cher is baiting and such :bored:

Wrong.

People can hate Cher all they like, but they go WAY OTT about it and make up these faily nicknames for her and her mentor to try and be funny but they fall flat on their arses.

Why can't Cher haters just be normal and say why they don't like her and we can all discuss that without things getting closed?

I realise I'm not one to talk about making up Nicknames and having OTT hate for acts because of the way I act with One Erection, I mean Direction.

But that's not the same because I very rarely post about X Factor or One Erection, whilst every day on here is the same with people constantly insulting Cher fans and her and every little thing she does.

Sure they can hate her but don't be blaming Cher FANS for trying to cause arguments, it's the ridiculous haters who can't come up with a constructive thing to say about Cher other than calling her names left right and centre.

Both as bad as each other IMO.

I'm fairly neutral with cher, so dont quite understand how some can hate her so much whilst not getting the over the top love either.

What I said just before was just an observation from today :)

Matt and Rebecca ought not be immune to criticism and there have been countless topic and comments about Matt being a dull personality and plenty here ridiculing Rebecca's facial features.

Where there has been a problem its been with obviously insincere 'propaganda criticism'.
Like this:
Some Cher-L fans or Katie or Aiden fans are trying to get their favourite 'team' to win. They realize Rebecca and Matt are obviously leagues beyond everyone else,
yet,
They suppose the best 'strategic' thing for their 'team' will be to write fake criticisms of Matt and Rebecca.
Hopefully get all the Cher, Aiden, Boyband, Katie 'teams' to join together and create a 'false movement'.
Manufacturer Dissent' (yes I actually went for a Chomsky reference on Tibb)

I think THAT is where people (normal people) get outraged and will immediately tell these 'propaganda strategy' fake criticisms to >>> off.

Example:
Topic Title: "MATT BLEW IT!"
"Katie was amazing last night but Matt probably ruined his chances with that disaster!".

Now obviously the only actual purpose was to stack the 'Matt Blew It' comment before peoples eyes and HOPE to affect voting FOR your chosen team.

That crap really is annoying and especially when people pretend it really is their opinion.
When really they know Matt is obviously leagues above Katie, Aiden or whatever mediocre talent-show hopeful.

Zippy 29-11-2010 01:06 AM

Just say what you damn well like. Don't know how you can be shouted down on a forum. Wouldnt stop me that's for sure.

not sure how I worded that but was grouping the lesser singing talents together. Katie is almost a dictionary definition of 'mediocre',
but,
Aiden really is something else. He is 'mediocre' in that sense he is not a very talented singer,
but,
More accurately he would-be a mediocre singer but has such deranged anxiety he then twists and 'stomach crunches' and makes bizarre sounding groaning 'elvis curls' and compensating 'warbles' and what might even be some truly stupid attempt to make 'Gospel' sounds LOL
All while grimacing and pulling psychotic faces.

Like 'psychotic mediocrity' or retarded mediocrity?
Yeah.. Aiden is hard to describe. Someone who is not good enough but then makes it all weird and gut-busting.

But here is the point:

Sure, make a post REALISTICALLY criticizing Matt or Rebecca. Nobody will deny that.

If people keep making posts like "I thought Cher sang better tonight and Rebecca really failed badly".
Stupid.
That is just dumb. Insults intelligence and in a way is more like 'spamming' with adverts than an actual real thought.

Angus 29-11-2010 06:03 AM

I just think it's a shame that the two people in the competition who have reasonable singing voices are also the two dullest ones. They have zero charisma which, let's face it, is what the X Factor is all about. Having said that, so long as Cher or One Direction don't win, it'll be a result.

Did anyone catch that weird expression on Cheryl's face when Rebecca went through ahead of her pets Cher and Katie? She wants her out so that her mini me has the best chance.

Dont be so silly Vicky. Its not the Anti Cher threads its the Anit Cher-fan threads and the baiting in them.

It seems arguing with other members or mods is the only way you can get a baiting thread closed these days.

I think Matt and Rebecca are fair game for a bit of criticism.

Rebecca was pretty poor this weekend and has lost a little of her magic these past couple of weeks. The comments from the judges, however, are making out she is on great form, not Rebecca's fault, but a bit of balance is certainly needed in her case.

I think Matt's Night's in White Satin was one of the performances of the series, and he didn't destroy the song like he usually does by trying out his own melodies to showcase his range. Trouble with Matt is if his ego grows any bigger it will probably explode.

Niamh. 29-11-2010 10:24 AM

Of course but tbf they're leagues above anyone else in the competition and most people think that

True words, they are far better than anyone else.

I agree with your, 'Of course',...I'll also say that I don't see why people can't put up their comments when they aren't in favour of a contestant - why on earth wouldn't you be allowed. Course it's allowed - if it wasn't, this forum would just be one huge Fan Club, which it isn't.

It's when people can't stick to the subject - the contestant, and discuss them, (regardless if they are a fan or not of said contestant), but resort to personally insulting forum members, name calling, being completely rude directly to the forum member and being utterly disrespectful to another fm: that's what stops any reasonable discussion. That's why it all goes pair shaped.

We all have different opinions, that's what makes the world a less boring place to live.

Viva la Difference!
