  • omg the xfactor is not fix so why waste ur time!!!

  • If its fixed then why did they want Katie to win? 

  • @horsegaga118 try watching the video

  • @playerhating what would Simon gain?

  • it must be a fix,who wouldn,t vote for jedward?

  • It must be a fix, who in their right mind voted for Jedward?

  • Stop throwin away ur money by callin the 090 number to vote for contestants on the xfactor. Our votes don't matter and probably never have. Keep ur money in ur own pocket and/ or give it to people who will appreciate it like ur family! It's YOUR choice!

  • @Abs786786 so true

  • Whatever. It's all a damn ploy to get the single out before christmas...

  • I wish Simon would stay out of the X Factor this year - it should just be a simple phone in of votes from the general public and the judges should stay completely out of things. Simon just cannot stand not being in control - are there independent people in charge of the phone vote? if not then there should be. If they cannot guarantee the phone vote then perhaps the vote should just be an audience vote up until say the semi final.

  • i thougt aiden was one of the best in the competition, he shouldnt have went:( thats what made me hate this even more.

  • How can you fix a phone vote?

    EASY, open more lines for the act you want to go through.

    if one act has 10 lines open and another 100 the one with 100 will go through regardless of how many people actually want the other act to go through.

    THERE

  • Ruth Lorenzo was my all time favourite contestant

  • If you think its corrupt don't watch it. Simple. Go out and buy some REAL music. Don't fund this money making karaoke contest. Because that's all it is. Its a huge firework display with a bit of karaoke thrown in. It create hype and so that Cowell will make a fortune of the back of it selling records. I actually feel sorry for the singers because they will be thrown to the side as soon as they stop making him millions. Go out and support REAL artists, don't get your music fix from this trash.

  • Belle Aimie Should Not Have Gone

  • In a word, yes.

  • Look The X-Factor Wasnt a Fix You Forgot to add the Bit Where it's DOES Go to Dead Lock And Does It Matter ?! He & She Didnt win The X-Factor Anyway !:)xx

  • Who cares its all a bunch of wank anyway. Simon Cowell is a freemason. Louie Walsh is always looking out for pretty irish boys and the two woman that also judge are air head eye candy. They produce the same old soulless mediocre McDonalds corporate shit music year in year out. There is something seriously wrong with these types of tv shows. It just seems to be about shallow materialism and sure as hell ain't the message I want taught to the future generations.

  • Simon saved Katie over Aiden...Now Aiden's apparantly signed to Simon's record label...If he'd stayed in longer he'd defo have been signed by someone else. Greedy greedy Simon :/

  • 1:14 Cheryl cause the girl a drama queen. what a fucking hypocrite. Cheryl get the fuck off you have NO talent and therefore your opinion is invalid. Get the fuck off this show. You SLAG

  • 6:08 is a screen shot of a music video she made in america as Katie Vogel, not porn lol

  • such a fix. Anyone remember Avenue who were in the competition? THEY had a record contract yet they were disqualified.. Katie had one and she gets through weeks in the live finals? FIXED

  • It's clear that "Talent" is not what's needed anymore... it's NOT about hard work and dedication, it's about contacts and manipulation! The public are so gullible and enjoy untalented drama queens otherwise their life would be boring without these scenes...

  • Its fixed because morons watch it and don't know the difference. Note she won against two black girls. She is clearly shit as they all are and the music industry is totally corrupt so of course it is fixed.

  • jews always get favoured over anybody the tv is full of them

  • X Factor is a farce.

  • the person with Jedward did look like Katie who knows? x

  • @playerhating lol that was my cousin she uses this account I only use it If I forget my password

  • I totally agree with codybratz in fact that was the comment I wos just about to put Cher came 4 1d 3 beca 2 matt 1

    That wos there calling numbers fix much?

  • sorry if anyone said this but....

    guys.....think about the end of the numbers...matt:01 rebecca:02 one direction:03 cher: 04 could be just a little thing but still....

  • Comment removed

  • HAHAHAHA I love how people want to make some BIG conspiracy out of X Factor and Simon Cowell. For those of you who's brains are too underdeveloped to get it... SIMON DOESNT NEED TO FIX THE X FACTOR. The marketing of the show makes the stars here not the talent, so no matter who wins loses cries cheats or lies Simon always wins... He cant lose here, so why "Fix" the un-loseable game? Tosh plain and simple. ( But the Conspiracy theories do make for fun watching don't it)

  • Dermout said they told him not to BEFORE he went out...fix much

  • i will hate simon cowell for my entire life to wat he has done to aiden but now luckily matt who won x factor went together with aiden nd wasted all his money with him wat good friends they r nd probably the best

  • Its a fix hopefully its not a fix next year!

  • LOVE THIS VIDEO

    HAHAHA ITS SUCH A FIX

    AIDEN GRIMSHAW SHOULD HAVE WON

    I HATE SIMON COWELL

  • Retarded public listening to and buying retarded music... lol

  • HAHA I love this video!!

    X-FACTOR is just another way of keeping UK ppl next to the TV instead of something intelligent, thats why most of them r dumb. Also it simply washes their pockets. N wtf?? Entire nation cries n goes crazy about the people, who were simple as you n me but went to the TV n sang some songs. Come on.. Im sure some of them would not even have 1000 views on Youtube..

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1)Appear on X-Factor

    2)Be hot

    3)Hold hands with Cheryl

    RESULTS:

    You are next UK superstar!

    Sad...

  • If it was a fix

    A. One direcction would of won because they were in simons catagory

    B. Treyc and aiden would of stayed longer

    C. Wagner would of been first out.

    This show is NOT a fix. It's entirely the public vote AND they even showed us the votes from each week on the Xtra Factor The Final

  • @Selenagomezcp If youre under 16 and dont understand the video ask someone to explain it to you, dont write stuff that makes no sense with the point the video clearly illustrated.

  • @Selenagomezcp they kept wagner out till the end cos hes funny and they keep one direction till then end cos there loved by ladiess

  • @Selenagomezcp did u even watch the video or are u just completely and utterly braindead?

  • I don't agree at all that Treyc and Aiden went out because of her. She is one of the most talentless people to ever go on the X factor. X factor this year clearly wasn't up to the standards as it has been previously, putting acts like Wagner through as well! Katie shouldn't have got through to boot camp in my opinion. Her audition was a mess and so un prepared. I never used to think the X factor was a fix because all the people who deserved to win did. But this year I had second thoughts.

  • Whatever they do,SOMEONE says it's a fix.It is true that Katie may have had a contract and all,but so did Treyc.If they really were fixing it,then wouldn't Katie have gotten all the way instead of being the FIRST to go in the double eviction?Demott did say that, because Cheryl refused to vote,she got the chance taken away for that week.Cheryl said that she didn't take Gamu through because she wasn't ready.If it really was a fix Matt who was favourite since week one,wouldn't have won.

  • @CherrleTheChicken youre confusing public votes with backroom fixing it. they cannot fix the public votes.

  • Omg that's right, Cheryl Said "Ask these two and I'll take it to deadlock" :S but x Factor wanted to make a story out of Cheryl and get on the Newspapers, seriously a n n o y i n g.

  • lolz

  • i dont see why people vote in the first place even if the person you voted wins what do you get out of it u wasted about £1 for no reason

  • @ViperProductionz Yeah well you say £1 But i know people who spent £40 on votes this past weekend. It's insane how caught up they get in all of it.

  • @playerhating thats because they r all idiots. they spend money to vote then say its a fix? don't fucking vote then. no votes = no x factor. the quicker this show gets the chop the better.

  • lol at the way aiden didnt really wna give katie a hug back

  • this show is awful and we all know why

  • RACIST as hell lol

  • That was worse than when Daughtry lost out of American Idol...

  • CAUSE ITS A FIX I DONT KNOW WHY STUPID PEOPLE WASTE THERE MONEY ON PHONE CALLS THEIR IS ONLY ONE WINNER HIS NAME IS COWELL

  • @williehackitt Indeed hopefully next year a lot of people realise they shouldnt waste money by voting

  • Check Philcoool videos .

  • I can't believe people are thick enough to waste their money phoning in and voting on this show! All you are doing is lining Simon Cowell's pockets. Look at how he lives and look at how you live . . . . keep your money for you!

  • @time4anewme Yep, exactly what i do! ;)

  • Aiden never should hav left and neither should hav cher 2night :( xx

  • @gleekk1998 yes one direction should be gone lol

  • Simon is a total scumbag! Like pp said, Mary obviously had more votes than that rat squeaking Cher so what did he do change the rules and deny, deny, deny! Fucking wanker! And now how convenient Will I am is performing with Cher- DUH! They had it dictated and planned all along! The public should stand up for their votes and money that is being wasted!

  • Comment removed

  • @1Thompsonmusic lol why remove your comment?!

  • aiden knew he was gone. it was written all over his face and the katie puts on that. completely transparent shocked face. he didnt want that fake bitches hug.

    slag, just like her nan. haha

  • Wow, You are actually right!!!

    Just type Katie Vogel in YouTube and see what it comes out ....Cheaters!!!

  • I love Katie she is so funny, my name is also Katie so whoop whoop for team Katie!

  • yes!!! x factor is a fix an d katie is not who she says she is either shes fake and cant sing the judges only kept her in so it,ll create drama! rebecca to win but the ppl there are being used to make money

  • It was very clear that they all wanted Wagner out

    And it's very clear that Cheryl wants Cher to win

  • omfg, i hate the show now. mary should still be in there, not that tramp/ troll cher. whiny bitch she is. it takes a real person to stand there and stay strong like mary when the judges deliberate. cher just blubbers like a baby as did katie. fuck cheryl, fuck cher, fuck the effin show

  • bring back wagner!....destory the show.......and let real music get made...stop with all the pop shite and oh yes the show is fixed

  • @gaz8100

    Tonight Gaz the show once again proved it's fixed. Apparently all week they advertised it's in the public hands, the lowest vote goes, no more sing off. Then Mary had more votes than Cher so what did they do? They changed the rules and brought back the sing off lol.

    Absolutely incredible im sure they wont get away with this one their own website said the lowest vote goes home so they'll be in trouble here.

  • @playerhating It cant keep going on like this....it needs stopping...

  • @playerhating here here

  • fix

  • agreed. x-factor is only liked by a bunch of teenage chavs.

    it's totally fixed, how can anyone be so stupid not to think so?

    oh, thats right, the chav-lot that love the x-factor. -.-

  • fuck u gamu!!

  • you are fuckin weird Katie is brill so shut the fuck up!!!

  • @jabopmmm you fucking freak ^.^

  • you are fuckin weird Katie is brill so shut the fuck up!!!

  • @jabopmmm are you 14 lol

  • @playerhating partly the reason Gamu was sent home was coz of the immigration board. Regarding week5results. Its stupid of you to point out that deadlock was not carried out. Why would it when it can only be done if the votes are even. In this case they weren't: Treyc got 2 votes and Katie got 1 vote. Although I do agree somehing fishy has gone on in X-Factor, particularly because Simon seems to say anything pleasing the public, when judging and not being honest and scrutinizing like he used to

  • @schergat how was it stupid to point it out? cheryl clearly says come back to me and i'll take it to deadlock....

  • @playerhating oh right haha yh i actually just realised. i take it back haha

  • @jabopmmm u downy fucking cunt. katie failed 2ce, she sounds like a cat thats being fucking strangled now stfu u downy cunt. you're like 10.

  • I can't help but laugh seeing videos like this and seeing people get so worked up about it!

    At the end of the day, it's only a tv show.

    I know myself that half of the stuff is staged, but I still watch it because it's entertaining and there IS good talent on the show!

    And all of you who tried to be badass voting for Wagner - FAIL! You wasted your own money and gave the show even more ratings, well done :)

  • @iLikeCookie88 Lol you say you know its staged then FAIL at people voting..do you mean the millions who vote every week believing its not staged when their vote doesnt even matter? Thats like 3 million of money down the drain..if you support that cool lol.

    People like you are the reason people like cowell get rich not the people who voted wagner..you sit there accepting his attempts to fix a show lol take money while mostly ruining people or talent

  • @playerhating "3 million of money"?? can you at least use proper English so I can understand what you're saying?

    I don't see how Simon Cowell is "mostly ruining people or talent" - explain please.

    Maybe he is fixing the show to make himself money, but why does that bother you so much enough to make a 6 minute video about it?

    All I'm going to say to you is that the X factor is nothing more than a tv show, and if you think it's a joke, all you have to do is turn off your tv :)

  • I LOVE KATIE!!! 

  • Comment removed

  • @xSophiex99x Lol it's a fixed a competition, Wagner was eliminated through amazing manipulative techniques. They even let Katie just to make sure Wagner went lol. One direction if thats your kind of thing......lol they mime though plus they're like the wanted almost identical

  • @xSophiex99x get ur facts right, silly cunt!

  • She's in the bottom again right of this moment

  • I vote for Wagner every week :P

  • Oh come on. You can't say the girl is the most lucky in the world. She has been treated completely unfairly by the press and the public. The press have not written one nice article about her. She gets death threats from the public. When it isn't her fault she gets more votes than aiden and it isn't her fault the judges like her. She isn't the most lucky in the world at all. I believe they are all nice people this year but the press need a bad guy, and they choose Katie

  • Vote Wagner.

  • Vote WAGNERRRRRR

  • A fix for defo! Wagner to win! Although even if he gets the most votes they won't announce him as winner

  • VOTE WAGNER

  • actually they don't release the number of votes for any of the shows until its finished so i dont know where you got the idea that she received a third of the votes treyc did?? can you provide a link to prove this?

  • @cokeaddict08 Sure i added it to the description

  • Oh my goodness. To the people who keep sending me hatemail because i added a few joke things at the end....seriously get a sense of humour. It is not bullying for crying out loud it's meant to be funny do you people ever laugh? lol

  • @playerhating thank u for making this vid man

  • It's transparently a fix. It's obvious Cowell thinks he has something to gain from keeping her in, and I'm surprised he hasn't realised he's flogging a dead horse yet. If the public haven't warmed to her now, they never will. With the huge support and solid fan bases some of the acts already have, there is absolutely no way Katie can win, and surely they know that. By continually and unjustifiably keeping her in, they're wrecking the career they think they're building for her.

  • fix

  • Your un-knowledgeable conclusions made me laugh. Katie Waissel was offered a contract in America, however nothing was signed. She was NOT in the Porn video and she Was NOT performing with Jedward.

    Calling the X-factor a fix is one thing but then following up this idea with Katie is Just pathetic and stupid. Katie is like Marmite. It's a love or hate thing. You clearly hate her and decided to make this video. Stop calling things a Fix just because you hate someone in the competition.

  • @HabboRetroCharlie oooo someone is up katie's ass so far they dont know whats going on. i dont give a shit about a katie lol. and youre clueless her contract was bought out. the porn video thing is from her series which there is a link to in my description jedward thing up for debate. it is a fix stop being a biased twat

  • @HabboRetroCharlie someone is up katie's ass so far they dont know whats going on. i dont give a shit about a katie lol. and youre clueless her contract was bought out. the porn video thing is from her series which there is a link to in my description jedward thing up for debate. it is a fix stop being a biased twat

  • @HabboRetroCharlie someone is up katie's ass so far they dont know whats going on. i dont give a shit about a katie lol. and youre clueless her contract was bought out. the porn video thing is from her series which there is a link to in my description jedward thing up for debate. it is a fix stop being a biased twat

  • @HabboRetroCharlie Need a sense of humour much? Contract thing IS TRUE you uninformed jackass. Its a fix to those of us not biased fuckos

  • @HabboRetroCharlie I can't take anyone who has their name as 'Habbo' seriously. Pathetic cunt.

  • 1:32 Gamu's face is priceless hahah.

  • HOW DOES SHE GET AWAY WITH THIS LOLLLL

  • The 20-year-old claimed ‘show villain’ Katie Waissel had cemented her chances by winning Cowell’s ‘protection’.

    ‘Katie’s got the, I don’t know, she’s got something round her. It’s called protection. She’s got someone on her side,’ Paije told X Magazine.

    Pressed if it was Cowell protecting her, he answered: ‘Yeah. He likes her.

    She got the last slot this past weekend. Nobody has ever been in the bottom 2 having had that slot the night before. .....

  • @playerhating lol amazing how people falling for her victim crap.

  • I had considered that the X-factor might have been a fix. But your illogical and unjustified conclusions have not only shown you to be a clueless buffoon, but dissuaded me from supporting the motion you incompetently attempt to propose in this video. Stop trying to suggest a conspiracy just because you don't like someone

  • @Nespresco oooo dickhead much? conspiracy? there are facts you dumb mother fucker. youve shown yourself to be nothing more than a pyschologically challenged dickhead who has to oppose something due to minor details. fag

  • missed the bit where quiff boy said it was a fix on stage...

    apparently he retracted the comment later in the press.

    also simon suggested there might be a shock at the start of the results show..

  • missed the bit where quiff boy said it was a fix on stage...

    apparently he retracted the comment later in the press.

  • how can u say that the gamu thing was a fix?

    gamu was never gonna be a popstar whereas katie(granted has a worse voice) is clearly a better performer and more likely to make it

  • Comment removed

  • this shit is too funny. katie is a fucking lucky girl..but simon is to blame!  and i think they fixed it for cher to but it dont say it in this vid!

  • I remember being shocked that Gamu didn't get through, Katie was a dead cert to go. COMPLETE FIX!!

  • @4hotspur are u thick...are u thick gamu didnt get thru cause she didnt have a visa.....k....get that in ur thick stupid skull

  • Complete fix, Cowel has total control of what acts are in the final 12. The fact that after a public vote (where cowel makes millions), he then has absolute autority deciding which act leaves is criminal. Don't forget, cowel is paying the other judges wages, what he says is final. The 'DEADLOCK' senario is also fixed, the judges know full well the result of the vote before any names are mentioned. I'd advise people to keep they hard earned money, instead of throwing it into cowels moneypit.

  • Lay off her shes not done anything wrong

  • X Factor has ruined Britain's music industry! Wagner to win!

  • Katie is not my favorite, but in the beatles week she pwned all of them sorry. So stfu.

    However I think Matt should win this.

  • there's no denying that chin!

  • Lol @ 5:50

    Gross.

    So she's been on the X-Factor stage just last year huh. Hardly the random unknown receptionist haha. This show(as with everyone involved) stinks

  • and she still cant work out why people hate her..

  • Also, i hate Wagner so your having a go at Katie, but not a Brazilian who cannot sing?

  • @xPNEFCFAN2009x well nobody hates katie just that shes been fixed to stay when she should be gone. hate is bad for you..why hate a nice man doing his best?

  • @flashinginterest Deromot says to Danii he says "If you vote Treyc out, shes going home". Also, before he says that he says "we will go with the majority vote". So Louis and Dannii knew if she voted Treyc out, she was going home because 2/3 would have been against her, but she went with Katie going out. So it was 1-1 down to Louis he voted for Katie. So Treyc went home because she had the majority of the judges vote to send home.

  • Gamu didn't go through coz she did not have a Visa, so she couldn't be in the country. Katie is still in the show because people are voting her, not because it is a fix!!! I personally love Katie, she is milles better than Aidan and all the other that she knocked out in the bottom two. Also, it is Dermots fault for not going back to deadlock. Also, if it was under another name, it is okay, its not Katie Waissels tour is it? NO! X Factor is not a fix, its just what the viewers like me n you

  • @xPNEFCFAN2009x So what if it was a diff second name it was the same person. yes it is a big fix!. personally you are naive..!

  • Wagner is the man, good all-rounder, he can win. Chicks wanna be with him, men wanna be him.

  • @Gez1976 too right!

  • oh God. are you being serious? she was NOT in a porn movie. the photo was actually taken for her music video, or something like that. it wasn't her on stage w' jedward. brian said it was one of his dancers. hope it's true. but the porn thing, clearly ain't true. lol.

  • Katie has a video on YouTube look up green eyed world x

  • I BET WAGNERS GOT A HAIRY BACK.

  • you HAVE the power . Gamu has got a SINGLE out on the 14 of december . lets make it #1 . LETS get wagner win . this show has become a JOKE

  • @Mature indeed mate!

  • gr8 video

  • @IamKhush10 ..wow are you blind or dumb or both? She's been on tour, been on xfactor and performed before...but she came on xfactor as if none of that had ever happened before..they cant let her go out early because of her links to xfactor and music industry...would judges send home beyonce if she didnt sing and just farted instead? no

  • no its not a fix, just get over it and watch the show. clearly people like katie over people such as aiden and treyc, they wernt brilliant, and katie , treyc , aiden, belle amie or fyd wont win anyway, so stop throwing your toys out your pram and get on with it.

  • @ChenezYeah obviously they wont win theyre not in it. lol and treyc had more votes than katie so what you say makes no sense and katie wont win it either despite the fix so why fix it? WAKE UP

  • @flashinginterest they havent fixed it? theres no need to fix it because its the audience and viewers who are putting katie through, yeah none of them would have won anyway, lol WAKE UP back at ya.

  • @ChenezYeah WAKE UP. They have fixed it. the audience do not vote for katie. this week she had the LAST slot nobody has ever been in the bottom 2 with that. also all these gullable fools took in this victim act and believe her average performance was' genius'' lol my ass. its a joke shes still there a total fix.

  • i dont know why your bringing gamu into this her visa expired end of.

    Wagner is shit end of.

  • @IamKhush10 no katie is a ugly door mouse! gamu could sing she cant, nobody likes her its fuckin fix the stupid ugly rat!

  • @calliesugar Gamu was ok... I do think she should have been put through instead of Katie, but she was definitely not the best girl.

  • Of course it is a fix, its designed to keep u idiots watching and its working

  • We should all vote for Wagner, or not at all, the x-factory is a sham now, a fix.

  • I heard that Katie already has a contract with Simon. So he decided the quickest way to launch her was to have her on X Factor. Hence the fluffed/badly acted first audition where she seemingly forgot her words - all staged to get her maximum TV exposure from the get-go, thus ensuring public support for her when she would automatically be put into the top 12. HOWEVER what Simon didn't bank on was his plan backfiring because not only is she an awful singer but people really dislike her.

  • Its definatly a fix 

  • Don't vote for Wagner even if it is a fix because then the GREAT singers like Cher, Matt, rebecca, mary, one direction or paije but not WAGNER. If you were an Aiden fan and you're loyal to Aiden then vote for matt not wagner because he would have wanted people to vote for matt as he best friend. i don't think that aiden and wagner got on that well. To answer the question is the x factor is fix i'll tell you this. if WAGNER wins that it will be.

  • @55cbyrne Then they'll Keep Katie in until people feel so sorry for her they vote her and she'll beat Matt. You're not getting this. IT IS A FIX. So to show we aint standing for a fix we're gonna vote wagner. It's the opposing simon cowell vote. the true vote. wagner winning would be a fix how? It's us voting for him. If you want the x factor to not be about editing or promoting favourites then vote wagner along with your favourite every week. he is entertaining and a legend!

  • @55cbyrne cher sounds like a penis screaming for pussy

  • So, lets review Katie this week:

    + New stripped down image (which from the way Cowell talked was obviously advised upon her to do)

    + Given last slot on programme

    + Given praise from Louis and asking the callers to vote for her!

    + Cowell asking for her support

    + Cole singing her praises to the rafters

  • its already been decided one direction are going to win this year.

  • @MakeUpByJenniferW

    Hasn't it just! I geet the same feeling! Shame really, I've got nothing against one direction, but they're not the best act!

  • I think aiden sucks balls but in no way should kaite still be in the competition...this show has become so fake with the announcer sounding like the same one from the street fighter and all the unnecessary productions involved with the performances, sooo over the top, like they are trying to distract us withe pretty lights and loud sounds, plus simon cowell is NICE in this competition, he hardly says anything bad about anybody regardless if they sound like a velociraptor. DOWN with XFACTOR!

  • its fix factor i hate this peace of shit she's propa bitch

  • Which probably explains why she hasn't made it before now, and why she would put herself through all this for a last shot at the fame she desperately craves.

    She is a wannbe with a capital W, and after years of reality TV the public are well able to spot them and don't like it. If she was in Big Brother she would have been out the first week.

  • The X-Factor machine tried reinvention upon reinvention, and when they all failed and could see the public just weren't warming to her they play the last card - the bullied, the underdog, the fighter, the judges sticking firmly to the script and giving her the pimp slot to hammer it home as a last roll of the dice.

    Some people are lapping that up, most still aren't. Some people just aren't that likeable, and Katie no matter what spin you put on her isn't that likeable.

  • And some people are naive for falling for the multiple reinventions and rewriting of her X-Factor script, because now "She's a fighter!". Purlease.

    She wasn't popular at the first auditions, she was very unpopular at judge's house, and has got progressively more unpopular as the weeks have gone on.
