How do you guys feel about the contestants chosen for the Live shows?


I thought some of them didn't deserve to be there!

Honey G - I feel like this was the dumbest thing. That bald guy was cut over this girl? Come on!

I also don't think it was a smart move to take the two guys (forgot their names) who wear "crazy" clothes. They just can't sing. Louis made a mistake here. I think that Duo "Tom and Laura" should have been picked instead.

The guy who sang about his brother in the first audition was excellent too and was not chosen. He deserved to be in the finals.

The girl who sang 'Sometimes by Britney Spears' in the Judges Houses also had a very powerful voice. I would have chosen here. But all the girls were strong. Best cathegory, I guess.

I feel like the judges wanted to give chances to previous contestands who had been eliminated in previous seasons just to show they cared about them, but deep down, I don't think they were the best...

But that is just my opinion. How do you guys feel about everything?

Sharon: Hello?

Simon: Hi it's Simon.

Sharon: Oh hi Simon, we're all here. Me, Louis and Nicole.

Simon: Right guys, I'm afraid since it's the last show, we're gonna have to take the pïss and put through some absolute crap. I want you to pick the worst, joke singers, okay. Screw it. It'll be fun.

Sharon's choices were awful... (or should I say the producer's choices for Sharon?)
Christopher Peyton and Janet Grogan should've been put through.
I also liked the dyslexic guy. He would've made for good eye candy too (for me, anyway) 😍

Honey G getting through was inevitable because they wanted her from the start to be this years token joke act (along with the "undercooked chicken" boys).

Relley C and the Finnish girl are OK but they aren't really that likeable. I can see them getting eliminated quite early.

I think the same. The problem is that it's seems this year the producer really forcing contestants on the competition(all the wild cards).

from the 12 who went throug i think maybe 5 really earned it.

I'm mostly sorry for Sharon - She started with one of the strongest teams this year IMO and wind up with the wickest.

I'm also really didn't like the fact this year no girl's group would be in the live shows.

I have no idea what Louis was doing. 5 AM was an obvious choice. I don't really like them, but you knew this is the kind of act shows like this love (see JLS and Rough Copy.)

I expected 4 of Diamonds and Yes Lad to be the other two. You figured he would bring at least one girl group after the Girl Next Door fiasco. If Yes Lad didn't go through I expected Tom and Laura.

The Brooks Brothers are absolutely terrible, and the other two....I don't even know where to begin with them.

This is is the point where I always lose interest in the show. and this time I think im done with the X factor. Just cant believe Sharon chose Honey G over Peyton and James (dyslexic guy). Its a shame the x factor is focusing only on what the younger audience would like!!!

reply

Well Honey G is the one who deserves it the least I think she is only there for entertainment value.

The rest are ok, can't complain too much. I quite liked Niall and James but I guess they weren't the best vocally?

I am disappointed with Nicole this year.

Because I feel like she intentionally chose 2 boys who cannot compete with Matt Terry as she wants Matt to win.

That's the only possible reason why she didn't pick her other 2 stronger guys who were individual and different from Matt Terry.

Instead she chose two weak vocally, lacklustre males who sound the same and are so generic.

But I am a fan of Matt Terry. But his bromance buddy should've been chosen too. As well as that gay kid.

I don't agree with Relley or Gifty, considering the choices and selections there was out there. And I wish Louie kept that sweet singing couple.

Sharon should have put that dyslexic dude through. I am sure he would go into finals. His vocals is incredible. And he is good looking. She made a bad mistake by choosing the Finnish or Relley. They are too boring.

Simon did okay with 2 of his girls. It's gifty I don't understand. I feel like he had to put in a token African female. There are many fantastic African British Singers, but Gifty really is not way up there with them!
