There's a big debate to be had about the effect that the pressure of shows like this can have on people that young, so um I'd say quite a lot of people will care. And I don't think they'd have tweeted this if people didn't care either

Ergh. It's going to be like BGT with all these tiny 14 year olds that look 10 getting votes.

It's like they haven't learnt from Emily Nakanda.

And I ****ing hate stage school kids. That Asanda on BGT last year who made the final was an odious little brat.

Likelihood of a 14 year old having a sell-out album is minimal.
POINTLESS keep it at 16.

Clearly not enough viable talent auditioning for the show anymore, plus they can exploit kids at that age AND the viewing public into buying into whatever they manipulate these kids to do. There's nothing wrong with a consenting adult being taken advantage of by SyCo because at least they're old enough to know what they're getting in for, but opening this up to impressionable 14 year olds is asking for trouble.

The 13 year old singers on XFUS Series 2 were actually pretty good and stable.
