Outrageous - yet another one of the best singers in the show to walk!! All those boys can do IS harmonise - nothing else. Gary Barlow, you must leave this crap show and get back to what you do best and that is singing, producing and writing songs. You are far too superior for X Factor because X Factor is fast becoming a joke!!!!

HE IS FUN BUT WE NEED GOOD SINGER'S IN SORRY RYLAN BUT IT SHOULD OF BEEN YOU OUT NOT MELANIE MASSON

What a load of crap this show is. Screaming kids and an old irishman looking for the next boyband,
15/10/2012 12:51
What an absolute farce!!
What was worse than the sing-off, was the constant sickly fawning of each judge to each other! What Louis did last week was, on all grounds,logic, professionalism, talent, common sense, was disgraceful!
Simon cowell ringing the producer to instruct Louis, was disgraceful! This show is a cash cow for Cowell, it has absolutely s o d all to do with talent or making a star!!
Dermot o leary is fast becoming a seriously annoying presenter and 1 st class k n o b! He should have taken Louis 1st answer last week, which everyone heard apart from c r a p for brains apparently!!
Lucy Spraggan, lovely girl, but why have themes and genres of music, if every week we get her Victoria Wood impersonation of whatever takes her fancy!! totally b o l l o c k s!
and if im honest and all you are, not that great either!
and the bloke with deirdre glasses, is seriously not as good as they keep saying, his performance was very very strange!
Its a voice talent competition? no its a weird entertainment comp for crap singers? no? who knows it what ever these deluded sycophantswant when they feel like it!
Utter rubbish!

its a fix to keep a novelty act in , and two others are bad compared, good luck melanie, you dont need this farce of a show to get a recording contract, your way above them, you were on course to the final til this fix, you are way above rubber lips ellie, amd a far better singer, show them what you've got melanie,
14/10/2012 23:56
An absolute travesty!!!

Fixed voting and fixed judging, the knives are out for Gary`s acts. Louis is a joke, but cowell won`t sack him. Tulisa ? last week you voted for the best singer in the sing off as it shold be, this week you went with your Heart ???. Only Gary continues to have any credibility. This show has run its course and its about time it was axed. At the end of the day IT IS a singing contest thats why the winner gets a recording contract, Not a place on a variety show. Until it returns to its true purpose it will continue to be the laughing stock of a saturday night. Simon Cowell, thats why people prefer Strictly instead of your pathetic little show.

I think I need a new TV my partner watches this crap and that band must have been the most out of tune group ever
Program is full of bad pub singers
It seems your future is better if you dont win
Another part of "RIP OFF BRITAIN" This is supposed to be a talent show? Must look up that word, I am guessing the meaning has changed!
15/10/2012 01:25
I HOPE MELANIE RECORDS AN ALBUM...CANT WAIT TO HAVE HER C.D IN MY MOTOR...I LOVE THE SAOUND OF HER VOICE....HURRY UP MELANIE....SEE TO IT GARY
15/10/2012 08:38
FIX FACTOR again!
15/10/2012 10:27
So, is X factor a fix or a farce? Looks as though the "Powers" want the viewers to turn the X factor OFF!
Let's face it, after all the prancing and dancing, Rylan still can't sing!!! As for entertaining, it is almost as bad as your grandad's awful dancing at a family wedding!!
15/10/2012 13:27
What an absolute farce!!
get it off TV for good
get it off TV for good
14/10/2012 23:27
Oh well no need to watch any more shows now my favourite singer has been voted off.
15/10/2012 01:05
At the end of the day this show is not about Talent. It's about viewing figures, telephone calls and advertising. It's all about where the money is. What will keep the viewing figures up, Simon is obsessed with beating Brucie. How many people will call for this contestant if we keep him in ( Rylan gets the gay vote, even if he is crap) and the more more viewing figures we get the more we can charge for advertising. A production Nightmare and a bit of a headache . But, !!! a good job.
15/10/2012 13:26
just goes to show its not about talent as the two best singers went from the start what a load of rubbish the program is the judges are deaf and blind theres only gary got any common sense he should start his own show and say goodbye to that farce he,s on.
15/10/2012 09:51
Tulisa, heart or head? or is it, lets keep this interesting. Obviously Louise was going to vote for his band and Gary his artist. That only left you two ladies, to decide the vote. Which again, couldn't be done. Why? There was no way District 3 were better singers than Melanie. It is just the younger factor. There is more shelf life and appeal ability with District 3. I cannot understand the people's voting. There were far worse singers on the night than these two. Are we around vote fixing again. Remember Jedweird and Wanger. Now Rylangate. I agree, that in the present pop world you need more than a voice. But it does help if you have a voice to start with, that you can build upon.
Why are you are losing your audience. Because people want to watch a show about singing, not just to see the judges bickering.

Hi everbody. This show used to have a lot of magic about it and watched by millions, but now appears contrived and the voting is political. We also have the contestants rolling about on the floor screaming and crying with alleged nerves when we all know [through the newspapers] that they have been Pro singers for many years. The public can only be taken for idiots for so long, before they vote with their feet.I guess you have noticed that they have started walking.

Unbelievable why this woman is out and that clown rylon is still there JOKE!!
15/10/2012 11:09
whole thing is rigged!
they say it is a singing show suddenly they are saying rylan act is entertaining!
other times the judges say'vocals were poor' and people judged on their voices!!
she had a wonderful voice but surely she did not have to go!
all these shows are the same 'voice' 'x factor' is who you kbnow not how good you are!!
gary barlow should ensure he helps this woman's voice be heard!
another victim like Amelia lily last year!
hope she gets another chance like amelia lily and see where she is now !
melanie can be the same ,she deserves success it has eluded her so long!
let the world share this wonderful gift she has1
