X Factor 'fix' scandal: Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh BLASTED by audience during boot camp
X Factor compere Ian Royce was forced to come to the rescue of Louis and Cheryl when they were blasted by the crowd
The X Factor boot camp descended into chaos with the show’s compere forced to come to the rescue of Louis Walsh and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini when they were blasted by the crowd and accused of a “fix”.
At boot camp there were six chairs for each of the four categories and acts could audition more than once and be brought on and off stage until the six chairs were filled.
An angry 5,000 strong audience lost patience with the show’s format on Sunday and began to boo and scream abuse before one female act even finished performing.
X Factor compere and warm up man Ian Royce interrupted filming to tell them to “give them a chance” adding “what you are doing is vile”.
He was thanked by Cowell and Cheryl, with Cheryl’s husband Jean Bernard later telling Royce afterwards: “You’ve got some balls” to take on the audience.
But the calm didn’t last long though and there was outrage again later when Louis Walsh put through a comedy duo Blonde Electric over a better group act with sections of the audience walking out in protest claiming a “fix”.
Royce again took to the stage and said: “This act don’t deserve that booing, this is there opportunity so you give them the same respect you’ve given every other act tonight. This is their big moment make sure you give it to them!”
But the constant chopping and changing by Cheryl and Louis angered large sections of the audience, especially when a producer was seen going to talk to the judges in-between decisions being made.
One Twitter user, @DazGale said “The X Factor is a total fix. Both Cheryl and Louis have now “changed their minds” (been told) and let a novelty act replace a genuine act.”
A show spokesman denied that sections of the audience had left before the end of the auditions.
The spokesman said: “As part of the Six Chair Challenge the judges have to decide who they take through to Judges Houses.
"Until all acts in their category have sung and the judge has declared that they have chosen their final 6, each judge is able to change their minds and bring back anyone they have removed from a seat at any stage.”
An X Factor source added: "The judges make the final decision on who they take through to their judges houses.
"With such strong talent across the categories and with decisions having to be made on the spot after acts have performed it’s not unexpected that the judges on occasion changed their minds.
"The judges don’t wear earpieces so producers do talk to the judges at the desk throughout filming and in these instances the judges spoke to production about the fact they wanted to change their minds.”
100% fix and it was set up to get rid of 2 artists who were managed by a guy called Blair .
ReplyDeleteThat was not all 2 other groups have their mics turned down or off for their audition and when 1 boyband told the judges they couldnt hear themselves ,they were ignored another FIX to make them look and sound bad,DISGRACE
Bootcamp on X FACTOR was 1 massive fix for a few reasons.
ReplyDeleteMe and my family were there and it just didnt add up.
There was a boyband who came on and we couldnt hear them as the volume was so low. You could see that that there was something wrong?Their mics where be messed about with by the producers and I remember one the lads telling Judges that they couldnt hear themselves ,Judges didnt care they knew about the FIX as this boyband were great last week at Wembley when they got 4 yeses by judges and great comments..This was no way fair and I would complain.
Also a Girl / Boyband have the volume turned down low WHY Simple they knew exactly what 6 artists they wanted and it had already been agreed before the auditions.
I have found out that BLAIR who managed the 2 artists who got dumped and lost their seats in a double wammy is sueing Syco for £1Million because they and Louis stole Union J off him.also he manages BGT Boys BARS & MELODY (But they didnt know that until he came back second time when it was to late to reshoot anything.. They dont like this guy Blair and he was 10000% Set up for a massive fall.He was also given over 200 great seats/tickets for the night ..as judges got ready for his down fall and he knows it.
