X Factor: Thousands call for Rylan Clarke out and Joseph Whelan in!

All the latest news and gossip from The X Factor...

Over the past week, thousands of angry X Factor fans have screamed on social networking sites that they want Rylan Clarke out of the competition and Joseph Whelan in his place. Will a shocking X Factor twist see the pair go head to head?

Joseph Whelan rocked out at bootcamp and was one of the favourites for the live shows, unfortunately he was ousted in favour of Rylan Clarke who sailed through to Judges Houses regardless of being called 'cabaret'. 

Within hours of the news, a group named 'Get Joseph Whelan back to X factor in replace of Rylan Clarke' was formed on Facebook and it's now verging on 14,000 likes. They're figures not to be sniffed at!

(C) ITV
Whelan has received nothing but praise from the panel throughout the competition, even judge Tulisa Contostavlos is backing his return . She told the Huffington Post: "From the get go I wanted him in the competition. I think he's gorgeous but I was battled with on that one. I am actually a Joseph fan so 'hey, bring back Joseph.'"

The judges have been less than complimentary about Rylan since the start. Singing sensation Rita Ora advised him to have singing lessons while Gary 'hated' his voice, so it's understandable that Joe Public are all set to light their torches and start a witch hunt, but fear not!

ITV have revealed that each judge will be allowed to select one act from those rejected as a wildcard. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly through to the live shows. Will Joseph be on the list? Will he have the opportunity to prove himself and go head-to-head with Rylan? Let's cross our fingers!

Would you like to see Joseph Whelan back in the game?

Who gives a monkey about the Xfactor? I've only come on here to put a comment that this programme is all staged and false. They already have the winner and it's all just a show to make certain individuals a lot of money and fame at the expense of the less fortunate. My Dad worked in the television industry for many years and he said to not believe anything you see on television most of it is false.

quite easy...one can sing and grove and has talent !!!!

the other is nothing but show and a low rate act !!!!

unfortuantely the wrong one got through...yet again a stupid act gets through just to spoil the competition for the rest !!!!

is this planned or just the fact that certain members of the panel shoudn't be on there ?

if this competition is to challenge the Voice etc...they need to stop mucking about and get the people with true talent through and leave the substandard out for a change !!!!

one judges comment" i loved the spikes on his costume !"...what's thaat got to do with singing

I couldn't believe that Joseph didn't make it! What complete nonsense. He is absolutely amazing, talented, gorgeous, real and authentic. He is born to sing. Sorry, but the other guy, was born for something else entirely. Bring Joseph back....he deserves to be on the show!!! Wake UP!!!!!!

I dont even watch it anymore, it's fixed!  Since that stupid Irish pair Jedward stayed in after Simon Cowell had the chance to vote em of and he didn't after slagging them off for weeks. Definately fixed.

Rylan Clarke has no other motive for wanting to be on the show other than to get his bludy mug on TV and in the media YET AGAIN. 

I saw more than enough of him on that wanna-be-a-model goddamn awful show hosted by Katie Price that I can't even remember the name of and I certainly don't want to see any more thank you very much. 

It's absolutely ridiculous that they rejected some really excellent singers (it IS a singing talent show NOT a  I-just-wanna-be-famous show isn't it??)  in favour of the so called  'entertainment value'  that this pathetic sad b**** apparently is. 

 

As quoted on the StarNow (hahahahahaha ...really????) website -

 

"My name is Rylan and i currently live just outside of London in Essex, Mostly recognised as The Winning Male in Sky Living Series Signed By Katie Price. Im primarily a singer, and was part of spanish boyband 4bidden up until jan 2010, Part time model since 16, Check me out, Cheers guys x "

 

says it all! 

GIVE UP and GET OVER YOURSELF Clarke ... get a REAL job in the REAL world

This contoversy is exactly what the producers wanted. They know perfectly well that Joseph Whelan has the 'WOW' factor!! Why do you think that the wildcard has been introduced. It's to assure that Joseph will get into the competition. All this to get the viewing figures up. They are not stupid. Joseph Whelan will be back in, there is no doubt about that. Rylan Clarke is being used by the judges and the producers, but he has put himself up for it, so he will have to live with that. All is fair in love, war and the X Factor!!!

how can they choose a guy whos obviousley got NO TALENT & get rid of a guy who doesHAVE TALENT yep its all FAKE

why do  x factor do this, again. to be honest the general public want to see talent, This does not make good viewing and the idea is to have real talent win voted by the public. It has nothing to do with judges, so they should get off the pedestal, which obviously is too high for them and look at themselves and forget the ego's. Spoilt brats comes to mind!

Gary's face said it all, so how can someone like Rylan be voted in and real talent be voted out.  For gods sake x-factor be honest for once, we have had enough of politiicians and bankers. You are certainly being paid too much to come up with this type of rubbish. Or are you after this type of interaction intentionally, because you are stupid?

**NEWSFLASH** MILLIONS don't know who Ryan Clarke or Joseph Whelan are..... (chances are most don't really care either as later they'll be popping down to their local club/pub/venue to watch some real non-plastic talent)

Can't understand how the judges made their decision , Clarke is just an exhibitionist, no real talent, so off with his head !!!  Singing comp. ? more like singing camp....

A shock X-factor twist ? Does such a thing exist.

When are you x-factor loving sheep going to learn, every unusual thing that happens on the x-factor is faked, they are all publicity stunts to keep you sheep hooked.

Do you actually believe the constant squabbles, all the cry babies on with their fake sob story, that a homeless bum would just walk away from a shot at fame.

You x-factor loving idiots need two things, firstly a grip, secondly a human brain not the brain a chimp !
