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!

Apparently, the Pink girl is a Pink tribute act from somewhere near me (Welsh valleys) - the rumour is that she was spotted by the producers, was told that they wanted her on the show and the audition was just a formality. Then they completely slated her.

lighthousekeeping · 18/08/2012 22:04

All the celebs on Twitter are loving her. The judges were pretty boring last year I cant even remember who they were

MrsJREwing · 18/08/2012 22:08

No wonder she looked so shocked.

I thought Mel B was a refreshing change from the bland sameness of Tulisa and Nicole. Poor Gary tried to be Simon and failed. Louis is just a bit of a wet wank.

Friend of mine is an amazing singer, didn't even get passed the staff who listen!

simplesusan · 18/08/2012 22:27

I think the Pink girl was set up by the producers too.
It's all so fake.
I have read accounts from previous applicants who said they were told exactly what song to sing.

ceebeegeebies · 18/08/2012 22:31

I think that they beeped out most of what 'Pink' was saying - not because of the swearing (of which there probably was some) but because it revealed how much she had been set up and what the producers had asked her to do Hmm

News article from the time of the audition: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2164496/X-Factor-2012-Rejected-Pink-impersonator-flies-frenzy-attacks-producer-judges-reject-show.html

For those who don't want to click through...

Miss Anderson?s father Glen Smith, 55, said: ?They wanted a girl with attitude and that's what they got.

?They groomed her for the show saying she was what they were looking for at the Cardiff auditions.

?They even chose the song for her - but then the judges all gave her a no.

?They set her up, shattered a young girl's dreams of being a star all for the sake of reviving the flagging viewing figures for the show.?

Miss Anderson has performed at clubs and parties across Britain and in Europe.

She applied for the X Factor and was invited to audition after show producers saw a raunchy video of her act on her website.

YANBU

She showed what a horrible cow she is, she's got no manners, no class oh and no talent!

AGiraffeOnTheDivingBoard · 19/08/2012 15:20

I know everyone on this thread have moved on with their lives and am probably just posting to myself Grin

I'm slobbing and watching the re run on ITV + 1 because pg and can't cope with the humidity and losing will to go on .....and I am Shock at Mel B. Even having read this thread last night didn't prepare me for her being so bloody mean - and then saying to elderly chap that he was boring.

Another vote here for Pink girl being set up by producers.

SoleSource · 19/08/2012 15:29

She was brutal. I liked it more than I didn't. Tulisa the porn star is thick.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/08/2012 15:44

If it is true that they told the Pink girl which song to sing, and gave her the impression that she was a shoo-in, that doesn't excuse her dreadful behaviour - pushing/punching a producer, flinging the microphone, ranting etc - she lost the moral high ground by doing that. Had she kept her cool, and either asked the judges directly why she had been told to sing that particular song, given the impression she was going to get through, only to be slated; or had gone to the press with her story, I would have been sympathetic.

songbird33 · 19/08/2012 15:47

I think they have to sign a quite strict non-disclosure thing re the press, but I agree that she was set up. I did feel for her even before she threw the mike; she just looked devestated.

AGiraffeOnTheDivingBoard · 19/08/2012 16:09

SDTG yes agree. I watched through my fingers. Awful behaviour.

threestepsforward · 19/08/2012 18:26

Can someone tell me what's happened to Louis' hair?
He now has BIG halo hair, how did he do it? Transplant?

LadyBeagleEyes · 19/08/2012 18:37

Yes, what has Louis done with his hair?

She's as vile as her BO selecta characters minge!

pigletmania · 19/08/2012 19:20

She was downright rude and nasty last night, trying to do a Simon cowell but failing miserably. What's she famous for, being in a has been band

lighthousekeeping · 21/08/2012 17:32

I can't believe my planner recorded that awful program today. Now, I'm going to have to watch it.

Jelly15 · 21/08/2012 17:44

She was going for a female Simon Cowell effect I think. Didn't work though. I agree that the Pink tribute act was double crossed by producers. Even my eight year old neice could see that, as she just shook her head at me and said, "editting".

SoleSource · 21/08/2012 18:39

Bo selecta lol

domesticslattern · 21/08/2012 19:05

One of my friends' DH worked with her (being deliberately vague here) in the US and apparently she was the vilest celeb he had ever met and her DH was even worse- scary even. She kept failing to turn up, then coming really late but throwing her weight around rudely. Pink OTOH was a delight.
