X Factor 2011 (UK show)

Fingers crossed Cowell etc. see that releasing him from the silence clause would be stupid. It'd be a quick buck and give the "any publicity is good publicity" but it would be best for The X-Factor if it was like he never existed.

"Frankie Cokeupthenozza" that's taking it way to far people. No one deserves this... Retweet to get the message around to stop this trend!

Haha shut up Gary.

Stop the trend by drawing even more attention to it. I see...

That ain't the real Gary barlow ! Note the word offical is spelt wrong.

X Factor bosses are reportedly planning to switch the judges' categories in a shock twist.
The twist was allegedly created last night during crisis talks with senior staff, who are said to be "paralysed by fear" over Strictly Come Dancing beating The X Factor in the ratings last weekend

If true excellent.:D

I think these are the moments that the contract is effectively written for. I have no doubt that SYCO and Talkback Themes have this all covered up nice and neatly.

Exactly.

But have they effectively ended that contract by kicking him off the show? Obviously without seeing the contract one wouldn't know exactly but it would come down to whether they had made provisions for this type of scenario in the contract. If they haven't he can talk to whoever he wants altho that depends on people wanted to talk to him of course

There is likely a section within it that includes bad behavior, it penalties and subsequent still applicable binding contractual obligations.
The X-Factor show has been down this road before so they have experience and are well prepared a great deal for such eventualities.

Most of the stuff that has been in the papers, has been stunts and publicity that they, themselves created - so they can control much better - at their own speed and direction.
However when something comes along like Frankies drug actions, that's something they know they can never ultimately control 100% - and if thats the case, it could only continue to riskily bring further trouble down upon the show and brand name ...and that means in the long term, effecting monetary gain alone besides other aspects as damaging the built up name of the business and reputation.

Edit: Came across this which seems to bare out the above thoughts (here):

Former X Factor winner Steve Brookstein has suggested that Cocozza's continued presence in the contest gave the show a "bad image" and was "damaging the brand".

Sending him off now packing while still under a contract - now of silence for a while, is the small best situation of a whole larger situation that could spiral out of their control.

When they get through to the live finals, they signing to their updated contracts - not just their competition entry forms - they allow/agree themselves to be tied to a form of employment contract and allow themselves to advance in the show under the then laid out conditions. Those conditions included in that contract at that point also specify certain penalties for breaking of rules and also (as the producers would have tried to plan ahead for any eventuality) damage limitation/silencing/no release of rival songs for a period of time, etc aspects.

The missus reckons Johnny and The Risk back for an elimination this weekend. it would give them a chance to get back one of the favourites for the win. If they realised that people had stopped voting because they thought the risk were safe, it would be a nice cynical way to get them back in. Think of the money from the votes.......

Gary is a twat for going for the caricature, rather than talent. And for Louis "The Gimp" Walsh to turn on Mankie this week, after all his previous comments? Even for him, that's some turn around. The one who has interest in anything other than novelty acts......Mind you, as someone said earlier, that Kitty would worry me. She's more bunny boiler than Glenn Close ever was.:eek:

Maximum 40 Characters

Ach he's an 18 yr old who got to ride the wave for a couple of weeks more power to him, tone deaf as he is.

The fact that the X-Factor could not handle this "bad boy" makes me laugh tho.

There was an article in the paper at the weekend - so if its in the papers it must be true :rolleyes: - that he had been out the weekend and brought a girl back to the house, went out for condoms and back to the house again!! Surely they can't be allowed to bring people back to the house!!?

That's pretty awesome!

Craig said last week that he wants to sing Paparazzi, I'd love to hear him do that.

dark crystal

Yeah, I heard it was going to be that theme alright.

Can't say I'm looking forward to it though, as I'm not a fan at all.

Personally, I'd love to see Big Band week back.


Edit! I see it's actually

Gaga Vs Queen

week. Now

Queen

, I do like!

To use spoiler tags, highlight what you want to spoiler tag and then hit the 'spoiler' button up above (just beside the youtube button) when replying. It should automatically insert the appropriate html code at either end of the selected text so that it's spoilered. You can always hit preview post before posting to see if you've done it right.

There should be a song to suit every contestant with that theme. Really looking forward to it.

Thinking about it, I think it if they were to bring The Risk or Johnny back it would give them an unfair advantage over the other contestants.

Imagine how thrilled their fans would be to have them back in the competition again - they'd be voting more than ever to make sure they didn't get kicked off again (well for the first week at least).

What they could do is give the finalists the day off and bring back the 8 finalists that got knocked out so far this season

Have them doing live performances and the Public votes on which ones to allow back into the competition.

On results night Dermot announces the acts that got the top 2 amount of votes out of all of them. The 4 judges then decide which one of the 2 to allow back.

That would be the most fair way of doing it, though you would then need a double elimination again the following week to keep the numbers even

These could be the song choices


Janet - Heaven For Everyone/Crazy Little Thing Called Love'
Craig - Paparazzi

JP Liz V1

I'd like to see Marcus or Craig tackle Born This Way
