It was a thrilling double-bill of X Factor last night, as the judges whittled down the hopefuls to just six in each category.
Louis Walsh pulled off the surprise of the evening, announcing that the ‘best of the rest’ under-25 boys and under-25 girls should each form a group. This they then did, with the boy band ‘Futureproof’ looking rather more convincing than the constantly cat-fighting ‘Hope’.
Here’s how the categories now stand:
25 and Over (Louis Walsh)
Daniel
Niki
Dan
Icaro
Beverley
Zyta
Girls under 14-24 (Sharon Osbourne)
Alisha
Vicki
Kim H
Emily
Kimberley S
Steph W
Boys 14-24 (Danii Minogue)
Boys aged 14 – 24
Luke
Dominic
Charlie
Leon
Rhydian
Andy
Groups (Simon Cowell)
Futureproof
Ghostt
Hope
I Sette Cantanti
Same Difference
W4
I think it is out of order, how at least two of the over 25’s obviously cannot sing one of whom was Icaro and the other is the black woman not sure if her name is Beverley, but they were put through to the final 6 which was a joke when people like Gav didn’t make it when he can sing. I feel that the judges put these two through for the fun factor but at this stage of the competition surely they should be at least be able to sing, the judges are just allowing these contestants to embarrass themselves further and misleading them which is so unfair on them and on those who can sing well and have been eliminated. I felt I wanted to share what I thought with this site as it bothered me when I watched last nights show.

What a ridiculous turn of events, how in the hell could the panel possibly put through the two worst acts seen on x factor, I refer of course to Zyta and Icaro. If anything smacks of “fix” it is putting two losers into the final selection and passing by on many other fine voices, I suspect the winner has already been chosen and we the public are just being put “through the motions” now. Ludicrous choice.

I also think it is absolutely disgraceful that Zyta and Icaro got through to the 6 when they can not sing or entertain. The wedding singer was fabulous and could have won the whole thing. I think the x factor have let a lot of people down. Shame on you!

I Sette Cantantee are the best group I have seen ANYWHERE in a long long time. I cannot believe Simon has just said they are going home!!!!! I have always rated Simon’s judgement but I think he is very wrong to have dismissed this group.
Once again all we are left with is the typical stereo typical type of groups that the music industry seem to think we all want to see and hear all the time… FOR GOD SAKE WAKE UP - can’t you see real talent when its staring you in the face. I think I Sette Cantantee could have won the whole competition they are so different but can really sing and harmonise.

Since last nights skow have spent ages online trying to find somewhere to leave a comment I’m so mad. What is Simon playing at? He obviously wants to loose. He put through the wrong 3 acts. I Sette Cantanti were good- they were not a freak show as Simon so unkindly said they were just a group of normal looking kids who could sing. kids would have related to them- have you looked at real groups they are not there for ‘pretty’ but the music. I thought X factor was to get away from the manufactured bands and find natural talent! Was I stupid or taken for a fool? Why did they bother auditioning groups?

Sorry guys I have to disagree….I Sette Cantanti were good at what they do but realistically it would have been very difficult to find songs to suit them every week…Ikarov should never had been put through and I was sick looking at his uxters (his armpits) after the first week…he just yelled, couldn’t sing a note…the other thing I really detest is when judges vote elderly people in who clearly haven’t a hope in hell of getting through bootcamp..many of those pensioners don’t have a lot of money and unless ITV were paying for their fares they may have been out quite a bit of money….and while I’m ranting..if I hear one more time, “I’m doing this for my mum and dad,” or “I’m doing this for my son, I’m dying for this…I am literally dying for this” I will vomit into my own shoes….in the name of God give over!!! Rant over!!

i think danni, is totally the wrong person for the x factor she doesnt have a clue, how can she put that prat Rhydian through instead of Dominic, anyone can c how much better he is. this x factor is the worst so far. the panel should just be kept at the original 3. Danni doesnt know what she’s talking about.
