4Tune Thank Xfactorblog Fans For Support

Filed under: 2005 Contestants, 4Tune

For any of the fans who were wondering if 4Tune get to read all your comments about them, you will be really pleased to know that the 4Tune boys posted on this site earlier today, thanking their xfactorblog fans for all the comments and support you have shown them . This is what they had to say:

“Hi everyone. Its Phil, Mike, Simon and Ant here…just in case Simon Cowell is reading this!!!

Just wanted to say a quick thank-you for all the support that everyone has given us on this forum. Last Saturday was hard to take and we were clearly devastated but hey, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger!

We have made our views on Louis and his tactics clear and we felt this year was based less around talent and more about the judges egos . But hopefully with hard work and determination we will be able to prove Louis wrong!

We are currently looking at our options and for the record will NOT be splitting up. Hopefully next year will see the launch of our first album and we will be continuing to tour nation wide….

Look forward to seeing u all on the x factor tour. Check out the website at www.4tuneworld.co.uk for clips of the forthcoming album and appearance dates.

Thanks again for all the support, all of the kind messages and thoughts are much appreciated.

Lots of Love

Phil, Mike, Simon and Ant

4Tune”

4Tune Announce They Will Not Be Splitting

Filed under: 2005 Contestants, 4Tune

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief since 4Tune will definitely be staying together as a group and will not be splitting up. When interviewed by Ben Shepherd, they told him: “The public have been unbelievable, they’ve been magic. The support that everyone has given us has been just unbelievable.”

and when asked about the future of 4tune, they announced that they are definitely going to stay together, and also said that there has been quite a bit of interest in them from various parties and they are going to gather everything in and decide which way to go from there. Going to The States is a possible option because its something they have always wanted to do. Looks like we haven’t seen or heard the last of 4Tune.

4Tune Speak out About Their X Factor Experience

Filed under: 2005 Contestants, 4Tune, Judges

4Tune sang “I’ll Be There” by Michael Jackson and after their exit from X Factor last night, they commented on the whole experience and their feelings about the judges. It would seem that they feel they were caught up in a mixture of judge rivalry and personal vendettas between Simon and Louis and with Louis reminding Sharon that he had previously saved Sharon’s act, and Simon telling Louis to shut up and “Shut it” again, who could blame 4Tune for thinking that theyv’e been a victim of pre-planned tactics by scheming judges?

Sharon chose to stay loyal to Louis, choosing to kick 4Tune out of the competition and save Chenai Zinyuku, returning Louis’ favour for saving her act last week and adding fuel to earlier reports that Louis has been cosying up to fellow judge Sharon, after a rift developed between himself and Simon earlier in the competition.

Apparently, the bad vibes between Louis and Simon have been getting worse and worse by the week and inside information indicated that at the beginning of September, Louis planned to get Sharon on side so that all Simon’s acts would get voted off in the early stages. Also, Simon was reportedly horrified when he saw Sharon and Louis enjoying a meal at a restaurant with Sharon’s kids. Louis has never been one to deny his game plan and had said at the beginning of September that he “gets on well with Sharon and if she helps me beat Simon, all the better. I want to win this time.” Looks like it’s at 4Tunes expense.

4Tune had the following to say:

“It seems it’s not based on talent this year, it’s based on the judges.”

“It feels like a personal vendetta,” said Phil Kemish, another member of the Southampton foursome.

“I felt it was personal rather than about our performance,” said Anthony Hannides.

4Tune’s SHOCK Exit from X Factor - Cowell Loses Another Act

Filed under: 2005 Contestants, 4Tune, Judges

The public have voted, and unfortunately, one of the best group acts has now been forced to exit the X Factor. What were the voters thinking to force 4Tune into the bottom two? Was it that 4Tune sounded so good that no-one needed to vote for them? and are you telling us here at X Factor blog that Chico, Chenai or Phillip still deserve to be in this competition ahead of 4Tune? You must be kidding, especially Chico, who is a nice guy but can’t actually sing… Hello, this is actually a singing competition!

4Tune gave a great performance tonight, and the fact that they have been voted out at such an early stage, leaving weaker acts who can’t sing even half as good as them still in the competition IS A JOKE! It certainly looks like Louis and Sharon are using pre-planned tactics and are sticking together to make sure that Simon’s acts exit early and I’m sure that X Factor will lose alot of fans now that 4Tune are out. What do you think?
