Default The pool cleaner with a sob story was rubbish
He couldn't even sing, if he hadn't said his sob story (or rather the producers hadn't forced him to say it) he wouldn't have got through

I wouldn't go as far as to say he was rubbish but yeah, without the sob story he probably wouldn't have made it.

He wasn't rubbish but he wasn't great.
He wouldn't have gotten through without a sob story.

He really was awful. If he makes it to the final 12 the show is a joke.

No, just 2 of them.

Surely that audition was a joke? The XF rules should state that you can't use a sob story in the auditions. He was bloody awful, a dustbin could sing better than he did.

Is it wrong that the first thing that came to mind was a press scandal tomorrow morning with his wife professing that she actually spoke to him a week ago?

He wasn't great, his sob story got him through. So much about not having so many sob stories this year...

Alan Turner and the pool cleaner are nothing to write home about. lmfao.

I don't like either, though the pool cleaner bothers me a lot.
