Television The X Factor 2011

Nu Vibe are actually awful. They could pass as a comedy act.
 
It makes you wonder how they got through the original auditions. That was awful, both individually and collectively.

I don't like Frankie either. Can we get rid of them both and bring back Amelia? :angel:
 
It's incredible that singers like this have managed to get to this stage, whereas contestants who could actually sing (that Scottish one who sang Someone Like You at the auditions, for example) failed to make it through.

She wasn't strong enough to get into the girls category, though. Just the way the competition is formatted.

True.

Wrong decision.

Nah. Nu Vibe were abysmal. And they looked like a bunch of creeps. Frankie obviously isn't a great singer, but being a bland singer is better than being a bunch of shit singers who are painful to listen to.

Red isn't a hard song to sing to an acceptable standard. Frankie KILLED it, I genuinely cringed.

To be fair though I didn't listen to much of Nu Vibes song, so I'll take your word for it being awful. But it's hard to sing worse than Frankie's version of Red.
 
Frankie was shit, but Nu Vibe were shitterer. Right choice there.

Frankie's days are definitely numbered.
 
Do you reckon it's a plot to scupper the XF? Maybe Simon Cowell is fed up with it and insisted on the worst acts being put through. A bit like Father Ted when Ireland didn't want to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

The judges are making themselves seem like idiots with no credibility.

must be Livvie, absolute rubbish this year, and actually embarrassing compared to the talent on the US version
 
She was though. It's like someone said - not skinny enough. She could sing better than Sophie, Janet or Amelie

I disagree, especially regarding Janet and Amelia. Not sure about Sophie as she didn't get a lot of exposure. I think using her weight as a reason is just an excuse. It might have prevented her being as popular as some of the others but not getting through IMO.
