It's not like the producers put a gun to their heads and make them talk either, they choose to use their bereavement to further their own goals and that's not right at all.

Has it ever entered your mind that these people who talk openly about bereavements of family members as truthful? Not everybodies eye is on the prize, this is evident because this girl has spoken up and so she should have. It isn't as bad at all; he actually lied about his family, they're not lying about deaths of family members - you're griefstricken when somebody close dies.
Leona was as sweet as they come, she's innocent and she had a bit of a sob story, didn't she? Lower class family, tough upbringing, does that mean she was using that to further her career and to eliminate the rest of her competition? I don't believe it was, nor do I believe that this is what the girl nor the man who's wife died is doing. The mans wife died after giving birth to his child for gods sake, of course he's going to share his story because that was the reason behind his passion to enter The X Factor.

Actually at the auditions they fish for stories, the girl from Bridgend being a good example. You're more likely to get through if you give the producers a sob story than if you don't. So many people get turned away from the producers because they don't have a sob story, I bet loads of those people do, they just don't want to tell the world. Thats been reported by many people who have auditioned. Its even more staged than people realise.

I just don't see what it matters - if the people with sob stories have good voices, what difference does it make? The point is that what Dermot did was wrong, he crossed the line.

Its a talent show, talent is what should matter. But then again I'm in the minority really mind sob stories because I like to know a bit of background about the person, it kind of puts it into perspective about how much peoples lives can change because of the show.
I agree about Dermot though, I think what he said was a joke but as I've already said he shouldn't have said that about a dead relative and it would have came off a lot better, maybe rephrasing it to "I don't care about your sob story".
He'll probably be gone within 2 years anyway, Cowell will probably get bored.
