The Saturdays have claimed that The X Factor needs to produce more girlbands. Singer Mollie King, who auditionde with previous group Fallen Angelz in 2007, admitted that she was disappointed that solo performers and boybands are more successful on the ITV1 show.

"There really needs to be more girlbands coming out of The X Factor because they always seem to go out at the beginning. I really don't get it," she told the Daily Star.

Girlband Kandy Rain were the first act voted off the live shows this year. Miss Frank followed two weeks later.

The Saturdays release new single 'Ego' on January 4.

Most girl bands on X Factor have been pretty $h!t so far, except Miss Frank

When the voters on this show in the early stages come from a majority of teenage girls and twisted bitter old f***ers on digital spy then girlbands have no hope.

 

Kandy Rain were completely trashed in the press for weeks, then that bitch Cheryl Cole done them no favours by calling them sluts, despite the hypocrite herself wearing the same outfit a week later. As soon as she said her comments teenage girls followed the convicted thug as they see her as some sort of princess.

 

Anyway, it really is not good for the show that there is not a mixture of contestants after the first few weeks, many men refuse to watch the show as there are no girls to fawn over after the girlbands are voted out.

Groups in general have never done well on X-Factor bar the odd exception in JLS and G4. Girlbands have done partically bad but tbh the likes of Voices With Soul, Girlband, Kandy Rain, Addictiv Ladies, Hope and Conway Sisters were never going to amount to much, despite how good the vocals may have been.

Two girlbands however who could have done well but didnt due to how useless Louis Walsh is were Miss Frank and Bad Lashes. 2 rather brilliant girlbands imo who had masses of potential in particular Miss Frank who at times were able to be 10 times as better as the rest of them. And their week 3 elimination over shouty out of tune man was a huge injustice. Simon Cowell calling Bad Lashes's rather fabolous performance of Wonderwall also rather annoyed me.

Many teenage girls hate seeing other girls do well, jealousy creeps in and bitchyness follows, I have some uni students on Facebook and some of the vile comments directed towards Stacey were the ultimate in bitchyness and I have heard from others that girls are nasty towards other girls out of envy so I think that is the reason not Cheryl Cole

I do believe that Cheryls comments put the nail in the coffin of Kandy Rain.

 

It is amazing women do so badly on these shows yet girls are quite happy to support girl bands like The Saturdays.

Teenage girls just vote for cute or fit lads though, why did Lloyd go so far this year and Eoghan last year and Leon and Ray the year before that etc ? girls don't traditionally vote for girls they vote for lads they want to shag

 

Kandy Rain were pitching for the Zoo/Nuts/Loaded readers, lads basically and there were not enough of them about so Kandy Rain went

 

Cheryl just preached to the converted, teenage girls were never going to vote for Kandy Rain

Some of the girlbands actually have been pretty good as well, Miss Frank probably being the best of them all. Addictiv Ladies, Voices With Soul and Bad Lashes were actually pretty good too.

 

The thing is the public won't be able to relate to them ... if they dress down they'll be called sluts and teenage girls will refuse to vote for them and teenage guys aren't likely to vote or even watch X Factor. I doubt a girlband will ever get too far on X Factor sadly unless they have something particularly unique about them. Shame really.

Are they basically saying that there needs to be more manufactured girlbands in the charts??

 

The Saturdays are pretty sh!t. Their new song ego is dire. Their singing isn't getting any better.

No they are not saying that can you read. Mollie flopped with her girlband in 2007 when they auditioned and look how huge she is with The Sats today so she does have enough reason to say that XF needs more girlband influence, support, giving them a chance etc and that XF should be more open minded to a different type of winner or finalist.

 

And your in the minority for thinking they're $h!t btw, else they wouldn't have become one of the main girlbands in the UK atm unless you closed-mindedly think girl bands are just $h!t in general which I'm sensing you do

It's got nothing to do with X Factor as previously stated it's the public.

 

Even though i do like The Sats he is not in the minority. I would say more people can't stand them than those that love them

It has everything to do with both X Factor and the public because X Factor is the competition and the public literally fund it. And if you read what I said, I said that girlbands arent getting enough support and people (the public and the judges) aren't open-minded enough to give them a fair chance.

It's the same with all girlbands. They are seen as guilty pleasure or in other words acts who people hate to love or love to hate but the success of the group points in the 'hate to love' direction else they would already have fallen under the Clea/Dolly Rockers etc category

Meh, as someone else stated before me... the only two really good girl groups they have had in the past is Miss Frank and Bad Lashes (how the f*** Girlband outlasted them was a joke in itself for their respective season). It's weird though because during the auditions they actually show a lot of potentially good girl bands, yet we never see them again after their auditions or they get cut during the judges house round a good half of the time, it's lame. I'll give props to Simon for really manipulating this show to the fullest lmao.

For some reason they always weed out the decent girl groups at boot camp. Remember the trio of Asian girls this year? They had a sort of fashionable geeky look going on and they were really quirky and most of all relatable, and yet they didn't even make it through to judges' homes. A girl group will go far on X Factor as soon as they put through a likeable and talented one.

Uh huh, so that's why their current album is flopping harder than Mutya Buena's solo album is it?

I loved Miss Frank as well! They could have done really well if Louis wasn't their mentor!!!!

 

I think the girlband which has done the best on the show is The Conway Sisters :lol: :lol:

Does it really matter though success in X Factor ?

 

If there is a record label out there that sees potential in Kandy Rain or Miss Frank or the asian girls etc they will get a record deal

Who cares about Mutya she has nothing to do with this topic. And yes The Sats album is characteristically flopping in its early stages, but Ego is looking to be a huge hit atm and after the 3rd single Wordshaker sales should pick up in a similar way that Chasing Lights did after the release of the amazing 'Issues'.
