I now know, sorry!
It is exciting though!

[Chrizzle]

That isnt an official video.
Telefan you should stop passing off your work as real, it gets peoples hopes up.

And Im pretty sure a lot of those rules arent real either.
And its in the wrong section, I think, purposely so people see your work.

[telefan]

The advert IS fake, the rules aren't!

[Billy]

there has been an advert released though, i saw it yesterday and was so excited

[tinkerbell]

lol how fake was that advert hahahaha

Why don't you post/say on your YouTube thing that its not real then.

The only thing WE know so far is the presenters/catagories.
And that the website will launch in 11 days. Then we will know more.

[telefan]

The rules are 100% genuine!

[Wasted]

With Dreary O' Leary hosting, and that crappy PR stunt where Louis was fired but brought back, I don't think I'll enjoy it so much this year.

[telefan]

Chrizzle that info IS what we know so far. There's nothing fake

[Chrizzle]

Fair enough. I know the Carphone Warehouse is sponsering it.

But you really need to say your videos are fake, it gets peoples hopes up, and its just stupid.

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that the groups are ..

14-24's Male
14-24's Female
25+
Groups

But I could be wrong, and yes that ad is fake.

[Billy]

How do you know thoe rules (just out of interest)

That's what I heard too, about the categories. And I prefer if that's how it was as well, an under 16's category means we'll definitely have very young contestants who will get people going "awww" and picking up the phone, even if they're not quite good. At least with the male and female categories, any under 16's who are really good can be brought near to the final stages and then kindly turned down but told to try again when they're older. I don't agree with young contestants being on the show and spending too much time working for it, when they should be getting their education.

What a reliable source

[tinkerbell]

I agree all under 16's will b picked coz of aaaaw's and oohh's and how cute !

[telefan]

It's gas, if I had of say the ad was fake then I wud have got a good response and wudv been u2u'd, as I have been in the past, "oh, telefan that adverts great, what program do u use?". Instead i get some snooty little forum member saying "that advert is so fake, hahaha".
