If it was me I'd have given them a vocal coach to help with their singing and a few bob to spend on clothes. If you take Amelia she came on the auditions and judges house with her own image, she looked like quite a cool teenage girl that other girls would look up to, she was well spoken and confident and she sang really well. Then she goes into the X factor house, makeover people dye her hair and make her look ridiculous with make up, dress her in stupid clothes and give her a song totally wrong for a teenage girl to sing! I know we all take the mick out of X factor but you could tell to her it was important and she really wanted to give it a good go so no wonder she was upset at the end, she's been shafted by the makeover staff and whoever made her sing that song.
Absolutely spot on sally cinnamon.
They let her down badly ... and I think they knew it.
I only saw a brief clip of her effort, but it wasn't the cute, striking young girl I first saw. It was as though they had added another ten years to her age and turned her into a witch.
There ought to be a record label called 'Fook the X-factor' where such as Amelia and the guy with the veneered teeth, who failed twice and lost to that dreadful Frankie Cockend, could go and make a recording.
I think they would make a fortune in showing the X-factor up.
PS Matt Cardle singing a Gary Barlow song ........?
It didn't work for me.
Not one of your best that one Gary!
