None of those acts were particularly good in any way. Sure nerdy could sing, but his personality is god awful.

Sorry?

 

Mel B is a horrible person. She does not understand the music industry and she does not understand that gimmicks sell - she probably wouldn't have put One Direction or Little Mix though! :lol:

 

She has no excuses for being downright rude to people. :huh: She can't even pull it off!

No one would have put them through, they were both bands engineered out of rejects.....

[sheila brovlowski] WHAT WHAT WHAT [sheila brovlowski] she pulls it off with EASE

I love Mel B! :lol:

'she picked on an old man' WAH. The producers put him through cos he's crap. The other judges wouldn't have put him through no matter how nice they were to him. He's a bit of a fool for even bothering to audition if he knows anything about the show at all.

 

I love how you can't be mean to old people or teenagers but anyone between 20 and 65 is fair game.

I so hope Mel B tells this girl to shut up about her grandad and get through on pure talent.

Hello sob story/finalist #1!

That was beautiful. Now please don't go on about your grandad, you don't need to, love.

*drawing every last drop of forced emotion out*

And that is why Mel B should have been the full time judge. Not afraid to call a tard a tard and shower the real talent with the praise they deserve.

I'd watch it with more interest if they sacked all the judges and just kept Mel.

Some points from tonight:

 

- Sheyi was AMAZING - I have never laughed so hard at an X Factor audition. :lol:

- Mel B >>>>>>>> Nicole, as much as I like Nicole. :P

- Mel B is just doing what Simon would do, I back her up completely.

- ELLA TO WIN. :wub:

She had far more insightful comments to say for the good stuff too.

Not once did Mel say that anyone 'smashed it' 'has it all' 'is a class act' 'looks like a little something'.

 

And that is why they didn't pick her.

Wahey! Carolynne was shown in that montage at the end! Hopefully she'll get more airtime this time! :D

Oh, that was rather entertaining, I can't deny. Loved that Pink nutcase even if I suppose she had a right to be annoyed :lol: Agree about Mel B, good on her for calling out that shit, particularly that old man. This whole 'sweet old guy who's terrible, but gets through because he's old and sweet' is so tiresome now. Ella was of course very good, very impressive song as well.

Mel B is one of the reasons why X Factor AU is amazing!

 

(Ronan Keeting is more annoying than Gary Barlow though)

 

To quote him when he got the groups in series 3 of it, "i want to have the first band to ever win the x factor" Missing the fact that a band one the first series of X Factor AU

I loved Mel as well, she was hardly downright nasty, she just didn't praise EVERYONE totally. The nerdy guy with the guitar was indeed annoying, and the grandad was crap. She's just a bit abrasive and best of all honest but she pulled it off! LOVING Nicole already though, she was awful in the US but here she's even better than she was last time! Her reaction to Zoe was my highlight last night 'no baby nooo'!

I thought Mel B (what I saw of her) was absolutely fabulous. I didn't see it all as I kept nodding off (I haven't slept well in months so I took a nytol with a small glass of wine last night) ... but I did see enough of her to appreciate that she should have been given the job full-time. In fact ... Three Mel 'B's and One Louis on the panel would be brilliant! I loved her blunt 'YOU! (pointing an accusing finger as she said it) can't sing!'

 

Zoe was obviously set up (sure - the girl had a short fuse - but boy did the producers know it and know which buttons to press). And I believe the producers had told her that the judges would like to hear a Pink song. I felt sorry for her - she was a bit of a nervous wreck before she started singing at all - no wonder she was shaking with anger at the end of it.

Mel B was WONDERFUL and the only shining light last night. It was nice to see someone refusing to join in and patronise the 82 year old (because let's face it, that's exactly what the other three were doing).

 

I'm not sure if I fancy watching this series all the way through. Once the guest judges are out of the way, we're left with the snoozetastic Nicole Scherzinger, who did nothing last night to convince me that the producers hadn't made a terrible casting choice. Utterly bland.

Ella (I forget the name) was undoubtedly a great singer and deserved to go through on that alone. So LORD knows why they felt the need to force a sob story out of her (my grandad died when I was young - yeah love, there's millions of people out there who can say the same), and if you listen to the actual lyrics of the song, there's no way they were about her grandad (and if they were, she HATED him).

And although I'd have once swore it was impossible, this series actually feels even MORE manufactured than the last. By airing Zoe's audition, they've pretty much admitted they forced a contestant to sing a song she may not otherwise have wanted to. And those GODAWFUL contestant "conversations" are a new low. Bloody AWFUL.
