To think Mel B is a complete cow!

Ok so I know sometimes people need to be told they can't sing on xfactor but Mel B is being a complete cow and reducing people to tears!

It's not even what she is saying sometimes, but how she is saying it.

I can't stand the woman, good job she is a guest judge!

at least she is honest

JustAnotherSod · 18/08/2012 21:11

I think she was just trying to land the 4th judging spot full time! However, she just comes across as desperate and spiteful.

WMittens · 18/08/2012 21:12

The producers have probably told her to be harsh. If all the judges are too nice it's going to turn off a lot of the audience.

alphabite · 18/08/2012 21:14

Maybe itv have chosen to portray her in a certain way. Could be that 10% of her comments have been mean and 90% good. They haven't shown the good ones. Just a thought.

WorraLiberty · 18/08/2012 21:14

I'm all for harsh honesty, but she's just plain nasty.

She needs to remember where she came from and just how much effort some of these people put into what they do.

It seems like she wants to be a female Simon Cowell....but even he can be funny with it sometimes.

Loved the 'Pink' woman's hissy fit though...imagine if Scary had been on the panel?! Grin

honeytea · 18/08/2012 21:16

Surly the contestants will just come back with "not bei g able to sing never did you or your spice girl friends any harm"

littlemisssunny · 18/08/2012 21:16

The pink woman was so funny! I do agree that Mel B has been told to be like Simon Cowell, but at least Simon can carry it off, Mel is just irritating and can't even sing herself!

Yanbu.
Mel was cruel.

Pink was angry, probably set up by producers.

Overreactionoftheweek · 18/08/2012 21:21

It cracked me up to be honest. Too many of the contestants think they 'deserve' fame and fortune as singers when they're absolutely awful. Some brutal honesty might wake them up a bit.

Grange · 18/08/2012 21:22

She was doing an Alexander Burke. Gob shite

alphabite · 18/08/2012 21:23

It's all getting more and more set up. I used to love it. Not as much anymore.

Badgersnatch · 18/08/2012 21:23

She's got a terrible reputation and she's living up to it. She's vile, cheap, talentless and vulgar.

OneOfMyTurnsComingOn · 18/08/2012 21:24

She was terrible. Talentless gobshite.

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 18/08/2012 21:25

Even if some of her comments not caught on camera were "nice" the mean things she said to people were too nasty. There was no need to be that mean and some of it was bordering on bullying imo.

Viviennemary · 18/08/2012 21:26

I couldn't take anything one of those idiotic Spice Girls said seriously. Who cares what that total idiot thinks. (I've had two glasses of wine. Was I too harsh. Grin

Grange · 18/08/2012 21:27

Stick to Jenny Craig Mel, your opinion is outdated

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 18/08/2012 21:27

Nothing is real on X.factor any more, she could be perfectly nice tbh

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 18/08/2012 21:28

Its so pathetically obvious that it's her 'thing'
She is so utterly self obsessed even when she was being nice to that 16 year old she was talking about herself

Horrid, shouty, talentless bint

drummerswife · 18/08/2012 21:29

she's like a bloke in drag
hideous woman who has no talent or personality whatsoever

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 18/08/2012 21:29

Haha Jenny Craig replaced her with Edna Everage.
How does that feel Mel?

Wheresmypopcorn · 18/08/2012 21:30

It's all orchestrated by the producers. Those lines they come out with are so scripted it's ridiculous.

littlemisssunny · 18/08/2012 21:31

Drummerswife you just made me remember her on Bo Selecta! So funny Grin
