X Factor 2012 finals: Uproar over Rylan Clark
Rylan's through - but is he a joke?

The search for the next singing star of tomorrow hots up; Gary Barlow, Tulisa, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh have selected their final 12.
However, it's Nicole's decision to include Rylan Clark that is proving the biggest talking point. The Essex boy is hardly the best singer in the world so perhaps that explains his extreme reaction to being told he was through to the live shows.
The primped and preened reality TV star (he was a runner-up on Signed By Katie Price, the latter's attempt to do a modelling version of X Factor) burst into tears, crying and wailing like a banshee; it was a performance laden with the kind of histrionics that would've made a two-year-old proud.
Rylan's inclusion at the expense of the likes of Jake Quickenden and Nathan Fagan-Gayle didn't impress the viewers that made their feelings clear on Twitter. "Omg not rylan....what?????! #xfactor" tweeted Imogen Thomas (@Imogen_Thomas), summing up around 90% of tweets on the subject.
Actor Chris O'Dowd (@BigBoyler) posted: "Now he's reached the live shows, I wonder if Rylan will give up his job as a bereavement counsellor? #xfactor"

Rylan is the 'Joke' Factor this year - he can't sing and certainly put the 'camp' into Boot Camp. Christopher is the 'Aah' Factor - I'm sure he'll get voted in as the Wildcard. But it beggars belief why Lucy has been put through. She is a one trick pony and her style is more suited for BGT, not X Factor. She 'talks' her way through songs like Lily Allen and has comedy overtones like Victoria Wood. She can't cope with mainstream pop. What is she going to do on 'Disco' night, or 'Motown' night. Any singer put through to the Live shows should be versatile - Lucy is not!

Personally I think the only judge who picked the right acts was Gary Barlow, Nicole should never have picked that Rylan, the guy is soooooooooo OTT he makes Joey Essex look intelligent. Tulisa should not have selected Lucy, she can't sing anywhere near like the others can, all she can do is write witty ditties which she can talk whilst playing her guitar. Louie, no surprise he picked a couple of boy bands, but he has probably done them no favours as the votes will be split between the two, he should have only selected one boy band and then either the two girls, or the beetbox trio.
I hope the other 16 year old girl (whose name I can't remember at the moment) wins the viewer vote for the wildcard place.

Thats why this show is now a load of ****E!!! Chris from Liverpool got sent home over this rubbish and wasted piece of "so called talent". Its hilarious and massively annoying at the same time!! It needs to go to the scrap like my mums chitty-chitty bang Citroen (20 years old or more) lol!!
30/09/2012 23:11
seriously its meant to be xfactor to find singing talent i knew i see that irratating p.r.a.t before hes a serial tv **** look him up signed by katie price been on john bishops briatin etc ....jeeesus what a con.
30/09/2012 23:22
JOKE JOKE JOKE what are they thinking he will be the joke factor like wagner etc makes me sick no wonder they are loseing ratings hope hes first to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for the genuine talent that goes into the X factor process thinking they will be dealt a fair hand. The finalists are already selected by producers from the first auditions if not before - hence why we see footage of them in their homes with their friends and families before they even leave for the "audition". Also you know who won't get put through because we either won't even see their performance, or it will be cut with a voice over or montage. Rylan is clearly the prerequisite nutcase act for this year with his ridiculously cliched antics!!
30/09/2012 23:36
I know I don't know him - but I was so disappointed when she kept him - and then that ridiculous, odious performance and histrionics made me cringe. When can we vote him out?

I understand that Cowell is concerned about the ratings dropping, well look no further for the reason Mr Cowell. Tallentless wannabees being put through for entertainment value instead of potential stars. The judges say they want a worldwide recording artist and put through the like of Rylan "Crylan" and Lucy. I admit that Lucy has talent but she is not right for this show, more of a Victoria Wood protégé but Crylan!!!!!!! please. The judges contradict themselves more than a George Osborne debt recovery plan.......they say "its about the voice", "its about entertainment value", "its about selling records", when we all know ITS ABOUT MAKING MONEY!!!!! with Tulisa going for an Oscar nomination whenever she has to tell a contestant they have not made it.....vomit! . I have watched the shown for 11 years and I am actually quite sad that some moronic producers and script writers (yes most of it is scripted!) have screwed the whole thing up, but enough is enough....."its not good news, its great news".....RIP X Factor...................you have run on too long!!!

Why oh why oh why, is there always uproar when the crap people get through to Live Shows, if after Chico, Jedward, Wagner, Frankie Cocozza you are still surprised at crappy singers getting through to create CONTROVERSY, then maybe you should enter the real world and stop watching. Crap will always get put through, it's down to us to not vote fore them, but bear in mind idiots will still vote for them, and they will remain in the show until about 4 weeks from the end, then the judges will see sense (their entertainment factor is past it's sell by date) and they will be eliminated.
I mean let's be honest here that Spragg girl is pretty crap too.

no suprise on x factor results mr walsh with the final two groups we all knew it would be the one direction wannabees after sloting in an extra person and then the cheek to put in the other group as his wild card . then the talentless singing voice of the over acting ryan who will be voted out or not voted for in the near future .X FACTOR HAS LOST THOUSANDS OF VIEWER RECENTLY AND WILL NOW LOSE LOTS MORE.

PATHETIC ...FREAK!!!!
HAVE TO BLAME THE PRODUCERS OF THIS PATHETIC SHOW.....ITS NOT ABOUT THE CONTESTANTS ITS ABOUT THE JUDGES...PRODUCERS AND MR COWELL GETTING PUBLICITY...THIS IS WHAT THEY EXPECTED....EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY TALKING ABOUT THIS FREAK SHOW.....ISNT THIS POOF..OH I MEAN PROOF THAT ITS A FIX!!!!!!
01/10/2012 00:28
if i held a wild card i would send Ryland Clark into the wild .ONE WAY
30/09/2012 23:44
The TV Programme's bent, crooked, fixed, however you see it, whatever word's you use, it's a show where upon the final result does not determine a fair outcome.
I asked a member of the XFactor staff if it were worth queuing up to audition, "Well's there's nobody to stop you but you wont get anywhere as the final 16 were picked out 3 month's ago", this is the truth, it's not a wind up, they send out scout's who visit club's venue's, pub's in search of likely contender's.
The welsh teacher "John Adam's From Aberdare Wales" go look at his audition, he was a ready made popstar, but he never got into the final 16, Curtis Golden & Eli Cripps, both should have been through to this years select few, but they were out after the second or third week, Curtis Golden is a ready made popstar, for sure, my ear's don't ever tell me lie's, but unless they have been stashed away for a late return neither will be seen again.
They rig the show, it's too easy to leave the voteing to four judge's, it should be an audience voting system all the way through, it's crooked, how can you start out by having to rely on the four judge's opinion's and leave the latter stage's to telephone voting, somebody's definitely at it for sure.

30/09/2012 23:42

30/09/2012 23:41
i think x factor is one of the worst shows out.Its all fixed and crap get through and better singers are not.What is the wild card each judge said the wild cards contestants were great and had to be given another chance but didnt select them first.The tears oh my god what a load of rubbish i turned off during all that its just so false .Ill be watching strictly come dancing from now on .
01/10/2012 00:19
Rylan is a ****, a useless non talented drama queen how could anyone with a brain let him through? Please do not insult our intelligence, he will not last 2 minutes I had to leave the room and vomit.
01/10/2012 08:23
Here we go again, Rylan, another Deadwood, sorry I meant Jedwood story.
he's going to be in for weeks, and Why isn't he in the girl's category?
