[Smithy]

Everytime it's his turn to give his opinion on an act he always moans and bitches, he doesn't give constructive criticism like the other judges

Kitty - She needs to do something stripped back so that the public can connect with her
Little Mix - They're becoming predictable and running out tricks
Janet - he's becoming bored with her because she does the same thing every week (Even though she did up tempo last week and they all said go back to doing ballads because it's what suits you)

He said craig was amazing even though he's the most predictable contestant and he had the nerve to say that Kelly and Tulisa were giving tactical criticism when they (imo) hit the nail on the head when they were talking about Marcus


I'm not up to misha yet, but i imagine he did the same

what a wanker

[Mystic Mock]

Gary Barlow is a hypocrite,even though I liked Craigs performance tonight and Marcus needs to be allowed to show his voice off as he was really good in the auditions.

[Z]

Really hope he doesn't come back for the next series, he doesn't have the personality to be a judge on the X Factor. They've got it so, so wrong this year - too many changes, the wrong mix of judges, the constant **** ups with the contestants and the competition in general, the poor standard of contestants...

[GypsyGoth]

I'm not a fan of Gary as a judge either. I think he was in a position to help Frankie avoid some of the rubbish that surrounds the music industry, instead he pushed him towards it in previous weeks, so Frankie would have a better gimmick on the show.

Gray should have been kicked out of the show.

[Scarlett.]

Unless Simon (and maybe Cheryl or Dannii) come back next series, I can't see the show surviving much longer

[King Gizzard]

There's a serious lack of an authoritive Simon Cowell

[Jords]

Gary pisses me off too, I thought hed be an amazing judge.

[MusicXian]

Gary is indeed too tactical I think. Sure they all want their act to win, but the point of being a judge aswell is to be honest.

Perhaps they should differ between a mentor and a judge. Have 4 mentors who are different to 4 judges.

[Marc]

-waits for Laura to come on and go crazy-

But I agree with Gary being a useless judge

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

but hes so attractive...

[Crimson Dynamo]

he talks a lot of bollocks.

janet: you need to move away from your comfort zone.

janet moves away: you were uncomfortable and should stick to what you are good at.

janet goes back to celtic roots: i am bored and you need to surprise me


f off

[Visage]

Gary was one of the reasons I decided to watch the show this year. I thought he was great in the audition stages but since they live shows he's been friggin' disrespectful and and a total contradiction of himself.

I now cannot stand him anymore. Bad move for the bloke because he's losing face every week.

You should take one thing away from that: Janet is boring

[Adamw92]

I really beginning to hate him, Thankully someone set him straight last night on Xtra Factor for saying Little Mix and Janet are getting predictable

What was said?

Janet is not boring (maybe for you, but not for everyone), music is about opinions and actually the style of music Janet sings is what I like personally.

[Firewire]

I love Gary outside of the X Factor, but he's an abysmal judge.

[joeysteele]

Gary Barlow,who I really liked before he was on X Factor, is spoiling this series for me, he is so full of himself.
I can see how he and Robbie fell out years ago, he is awful as a judge.

They mentioned what he said about them being predictable, it was more about his comment to Little Mix than to Janet but still... the caller mentioned that we'll be getting the same thing from Craig every week with him standing still on stage in a black suit or something along those lines.

[Niamh.]

I really liked Gary at the start but I dislike him more each week now. I thought he had a cheek to accuse the others of Tactical criticism after A - he's admitted to lying about how good he thought Frankies performance was and B - His comments to Janet just before.

[King Gizzard]

The thread title is annoying me

[Tom]

He talks and acts like he's 80 and not 40, unless he was with Frankie when he thought he was still a 20 year old lad.

I hate how he (and Kelly) both criticise everyone other than their own acts. Kelly's habit of arguing with Louis when he says something bad about an act and she disagrees, but won't touch another judge if they say similar things, winds me up too. The two of them have to go, they're even worse than Simon & Cheryl.

Kelly would have had a break down if Louis or Tulisa said the tactical voting thing after slating Janet beforehand, but in her eyes Gary can do no wrong. The two of them need bringing down a level or two. Kelly is famous for being Beyonce's backing singer and Gary is only there because they probably couldn't afford Robbie.

The whole panel worked really well at first but its just a mess now and needs another shake up next year. If they didn't have their own categories and were just judging like American Idol, so it would be like the auditions, I think this would be the best panel yet.

:P There seems to be nothing but Gary hate on here, I'll just leave it. Much as I love him on XF, I do hope he does something with the TT boys next year instead, all the fans miss them like crazy.

You're spot on there Tom. I think it's time for X-Factor to go actually and go back to that Idol type show again. It's unfair on the contestants to be judged by people who have their own interests as priority.
