SHE'S WEIRD AND WHACKY AND I FEEL SORRY FOR HER' fecking competition.

Honey G is a JOKE, Sharon Osbourne is a bigger JOKE, and the show itself has become the biggest JOKE of all.

This 'auditioning' process for this show is no different from a Personnel Manager interviewing applicants for a certain job vacancy. The BEST and most suitably QUALIFIED applicant SHOULD get the fecking job.

'LIKEABILITY' should NOT be THE qualifying factor.

Excellent singers have been sent home by Osbourne - and the insipid Louis Walsh - whilst mundane singers with much less talent have been put through.

I feel sorry for those with genuine singing talent who have been sent home, while 'Honey G' makes a mockery of any claim this show ever had to be a discoverer of unknowns who have the 'X Factor', and this show has surely run its course. If this is indicative of future trends.

Oh, and just to put the record straight - I do not 'hate' 'Honey G', I just hate the fact that she has zilch talent, zilch singing and Rapping ability, and has been put through at the expense of other contestants who do have those qualities.

The X Factor is NOT and has never been a "Singing contest". Its kind of the whole point

millions of people can sing, tons can sing beautifully but thats not what the show is about. Look at any any town choir.

Its about the X Factor - that certain something, be it charm, a twinkle in the eye a certain something that sets a person out from the masses.

Witness the people the judges brought to help them - not one of them is a great singer (all can sing) but they have a certain something elsle that sets them apart


I am not saying Honey G has this but just its NOT a singing contest and never has been (its actually a TV show first and foremost)

The 'X-Factor' is not a quality which DEPUTISES for singing - it is a quality EXTRA to the quality of being a very good singer.

If it is not a 'singing contest', then bring on the Magicians, Jugglers and Comedians, and rename it; "Britain's Got The X Factor'.

I did not list Clowns above, because the show already has them in abundance - namely, the Judges, and the dross who they keep putting through at the expense of REAL singers.
