We've had a few over the years - has the joke worn thin now? I say this as someone who likes Wagner but disliked Jedward; both have/had a significant impact on the show and cause/caused a lot of controversy and garner more haters than fans it seems: should they stop putting joke acts through in future? Personally I think they should get rid of them; Louis Walsh is to blame for both of those creations and will no doubt do the same next year if he's lumped with a rubbish category again. What do you think?

Louis could've put through that girl who sang really well but he didn't.
I used to think he was really funny but he needs to go I think.

Theres only so much ballads you can take without wanting to pull your hair out

I dunno, I think credible artists (in the context of the X Factor) can be entertaining too - Katie's I Wan'na Be Like You was good fun; in my view it should be a talent competition, not 11 or 15 good singers and one joke act that's costing good singers a place in the finals.

If these "robbed" acts weren't popular enough to beat the novelty acts then it isn't looking good for any future career. no point in giving them false hope. the joke acts provide light relief from the drama of the show (sometimes even adding to it) and always provide a good talking point. Last year wouldn't have been as successful if it wasn't for Jedward (and indeed they're the most successful act from last year full stop) whilst this year wouldn't be as watched if it wasn't for wagner (people watching to see if he finally goes)

I think the voice proves you wrong.

[Smithy]

Yea I agree completely.

tbh if Wagner got to the final, or, god forbid, even won the show, I think louis should be sacked, he doesn't take the show seriously at all, the past two years he's poven this by putting **** acts through over decent ones.

Why should Louis be sacked? All the judges played a part in Wagner getting to judges houses, and since the live shows it has been the public keeping him in :/

Because Louis is the one stupid enough to put them into the live shows

But all of them were stupid enough to put them through the auditions/bootcamp...

Just Simon and Louis really; I don't know where Wagner auditioned so Cheryl may have contributed - but Dannii had no say in him getting to the live shows at least. Who knows, maybe Simon even said no at Wagner's audition and he got outnumbered?

Absolutely right Vicky, no reasom Louis should be sacked at all,It also seems the public like these acts like Wagner in the competition too.

[Danielle1232]

He shouldn't even got past the audition.

There are countless other people who could replace Louis and ensure he would not be missed.

Yes, but it's about time Simon grew some balls. **** or get off the pot. Either try to ***** Cheryl or get your head from her arse and make some proper decisions.

I totally agree, prefer the mix of fun and seriousness.

Yes but the final decision is down to the producers, they knew that Jedward and Wagner would divide opinions, cause controversy and get the show more press/ratings, they're raking in money for the producers so in a business sense I don't blame them.

[Mystic Mock]

no otherwise we never would have had jedward.

and is it me but i dont think jedward or wagner took out anybody good in the judges houses?

[Niamh.]

Louis is always given the worst group and tbh I think his only chance of keeping some acts in is by picking a novelty act. Even if he had picked the strongest acts at judges houses they still wouldn't have been able to compete with the much stronger girls and boys category where as the novelty act always hangs on in there till close to the end.

The Voice is hella boring.
