Boy band FYD were the second act to leave the X Factor 2010, after being voted off by the judges after a sing-off against Katie Waissel. With the exception of Simon Cowell, FYD’s mentor, all judges voted to send FYD home.
FYD had been tipped to follow in the footsteps of JLS, but it seems the public didn’t agree.
The decision leaves only one group not created by Simon Cowell, Diva Fever, in the competition.

FYD, or ‘Follow Your Destiny’ are a group of lads hoping to copy the success that JLS had, starting with a three letter name. Originally called FYE (‘For Your Entertainment’), the group were forced to change names after it emerged another boy band were already performing under that title.

The group are Alex, Jordan, Kelvin, Matt and Ryan, and have previously worked as backing singers for the likes of Duffy and Paulo Nutini.
The group performed Plan B’s “She Said
” at the audition, and were voted through unanimously. As Simon’s only realistic chance of victory this year, you can be sure that Mr Cowell will be putting his full energies into ensuring their success.
