X Factor 2011 (UK show)

It is the twist, it was posted on the official X Factor FB page.

I still think that the public are going to vote in wildcards. I can't imagine them wanting to lose out on a whole weekend of public votes. I reckon 4 acts will go, but two will be voted back in.

In an interview with Nicolo from a Closer magazine from last year he said:



(I don't have a link as it's not online but I posted about it here)



I disagree with you that the public voted for Jedward because they were so bad. Maybe to an extent it was like that last year with Wagner, but Louis has the capability of turning these underdog, novelty acts into something likeable that the public want to get behind and not necessarily as a "f*ck you" to Simon Cowell and the X Factor. I think he gets the worst category because he's the only one who'd be able to handle them tbh.

Dont think them sources or quotes are anything to go by to be honest.
Kate didnt like C.Cole because she concentrated more on her other acts id say. Maybe they just clashed.
The public definitly voted Jedward because they were so bad it was funny and entertaining.Like Wagner. (Louis couldnt even get Wagners name right ffs on the show!?) how is that good?!

How do you explain Louis putting the Chinease one through this year?He is a joke of a judge.

As far as the prediction league goes, are we better off putting it on hold for a week? If four acts go this week, then I reckon it will be single eliminations each week until the end.

Eh you asked me for quotes, I gave them to you. Apart from bringing these people to you and having them say it to your face, I can't do much more. I'm backing up my opinion properly!

Cheryl was a terrible judge, all the quotes I posted above have people criticising her judging. Mary Byrne and others came out and said the same last year (and no I'm not going to go looking for more quotes!)

Louis turned the public from hating Jedward to, by and large, loving them. They used to get booed every week and then towards the end the whole studio would be chanting "Jedward Jedward" and they'd be getting the biggest cheers. Louis knew what to do with them, sure he picked a Vanilla Ice song for them to do during Queen week and look how that turned out, they went on to record the song with Vanilla Ice! They're one of the most successful acts to ever have come out of X Factor and there's not a chance they would be where they are today without Louis.

As for getting Wagner's name wrong...I thought it was fairly obvious that that was just an ongoing joke...

I agree that Goldie shouldn't have got through but I think he was just hoping to have the same success and controversy as he had with Wagner. Sami is the best singer in his group but in fairness, there is no market for her, she's going to fade into oblivion when the show is over. Louis likes to get the acts that everyone will be talking about.

newballsplease you seem to just hate Louis Walsh for no apparent reason, did he do something to you? He's probably the most successful judge from the X Factor (Simon aside obviously) because he's savvy and knows how to market an act. He hasn't been in the business this long by luck.

The X Factor judges will each have to eliminate one of their own acts after the first live show this weekend, it has been revealed.

The surprise twist will see Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Louis Walsh vote off one of the four artists in their respective categories on Sunday night, following Saturday night's performances.

There will consequently be no viewer vote for the first weekend, where the final 16 will become the final 12.

The judges informed the acts of the twist on Thursday, with Rowland telling the hopefuls: "We want you to put your best foot forward, make the decision hard for us and let us know why you need to stay."

Contostavlos assured the finalists that the judges' decisions will be based solely on Saturday's performances.

"Please understand all of you that none of us have made our decision," the N-Dubz singer said. "It's a clean slate and we are making our decision as if we have never seen you before."

Walsh added: "It's a level playing field - we want to see your passion, we want to see a star, it's all to play for."

Barlow explained: "We thought rather than wait until Saturday night we'll talk about the twist. This is the X Factor stage - it's one thing singing by the pool but it all changes here. This is where stars are born, like Leona. It's all going to feel very different on Saturday."

In this year's series, Barlow will oversee the Boys, Rowland will look after the Girls, Contostavlos has been given the Groups, and Walsh has landed the Overs.

He hasnt done anything to me, i just cant stand him!

Dont think him getting Wagners name was a joke? It was certainly rude if not anything else if it was.

Its a singing competition and he puts these clown acts through just for entertainment purposes...maybe thats good for the show i dont know.
Louis didnt make Jedward- Jedward made themselves. As far as i can remember i thought they got the most Boo's off the crowd? Dunno where your getting they got cheers?

His opinions are meaningless...same comments ALL the time. I doesnt add anything valueable to it.
Im sure all acts are gonna be listening to what Gary Barlow has to say way ahead of what he says.
His constant bickering and bitching with Simon was like a child in a playground.

Him crying at Jades audition?? wtf was that about!? was it because Kelly cried also?!

The above quotes/'Sources' mean nothing and could be just a comment made by acts in a moment. Im sure Louis is the least favored mentor out of the whole show.
No one wants him coz they know they wont win it with him.
Why wouldnt Xfactor gie him the groups instaed of over 28s? Since he was so succesful with Boybands?

Was he mentor of JLS? i cant remember? Def not One Direction anyway.

Hes got lucky with Jedward because they appeal to the children. But they shouldnt ahve be on a TV for a recording contract to sing in fairness.

Paddy power better refund the bets is all I'm saying. I'm surprised they are giving up the revenue of a whole weeks voting.

I'm just after reading that Marcus was in the group Eton Road who came 5th in the third series (Leona's year)...I never knew this!

Edit: Actually just read further that he joined the group AFTER they were on X Factor Stupid Daily Mail!

Thats a lame twist anyway. Was hoping for the judges being swapped around or something, you know, actually intresting. Gary getting stuck with Louis' lot would have been hilarious.

ziedth

A Judge who is getting screwed over with this twist is Kelly. She has 4 that could really make the top 6. The rest have 1 or or even 2 acts that could be cut handily enough.

Good song choice for The Risk. Don't know how Johnny will do with "Believe"

Busi_Girl08

Mixed feelings about the song list, there. Tissues and Kitty are going to be unbearable, I reckon, the other bands will be very forgettable.

ibarelycare

Johnny's and Two Shoes's songs seem like awful choices
