Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Emily has been booted off the X Factor for this:

X Factor finalist | Emily Nakanda | Shock video beating | The Sun |HomePage|Showbiz|TV|X Factor

And rightly so IMO!
ITV are expected to announce it this afternoon.

What does everyone else think? Does she deserve to loose her place in the comp??

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

I can't even watch that all the way through, I hate violence. She most certainly should lose her place IMO. What sort of message will the kids be getting if she isn't booted off the show after this? I think her behaviour is disgusting.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Quite awful however i dont think she should be booted. Everyone should get another chnace even if it is the second time shes done this. I think she should sing on Saturday and she will deffinatly go if the public dont like her and if she doesnt its because shes a good singer. However thats my opinion :)

Sorry FC Stanley got to disagree with you on this lots of young kids tune into the show and this clip will be well circulated among morons who get a kick out of watching this sort of thing. What sort of message will they get if she is allowed to stay? They are being told that it is okay to act like that if nothing is done about it IMO.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Well its official now heres the ITV Statement:

In light of the stories in the press this week regarding Emily Nakanda please find below our statement:

Show spokeswoman said: "In response to the stories in the papers this week regarding Emily Nakanda we have conducted our own investigations into the matter and we can confirm that she has chosen to withdraw herself from the competition with immediate effect." Speaking on behalf of Emily, Louis Friberg, Emily's Mother said, "As a family we are heartbroken and are very disappointed with Emily's behaviour, we feel that there is no choice but to withdraw Emily from the competition. Emily and all the family sincerely apologise to both Anna, her school and all the fans that have supported Emily. Emily regrets her actions but there is no way, as a family, we can excuse her behaviour. Emily is very sorry to have let the show, Sharon and the viewers down."
Sharon Osbourne, Emily's mentor on the show said today: "I am deeply saddened by this whole situation."

Please note that this will not effect the voting on the show this Saturday and one act will still leave the competition.

Its only right, could you imagined if they'd let her get away with it and kept her on what sort of message would that be sending out. Oh don't worry if your a thug and bully you can still be rich and famous. I don't think so!! I'm totally with Bernie on this one!

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Thinking about it that way i agree with you on that! I apolgise about not even thinking of that! It would be really bad if what you said happened. I just thought that a bad talent is going to waste really and she could have another chance. Could she actually do anything about this to say sorry to the British public?

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

No. .

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Not only should she apologise anyway but the police should also do their job. The evidence is under their noses :rolleyes:

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Yes have to agree with Jae there isnt really. To be honest after what bernadette said ive changed my mind she should be booted of really. Real shame i thought she was quite good. :(

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Just don't think we can be seen to condone this sort of behaviour. I don't watch the show but really think the message has to be sent out loud and clear this sort of thing will not be tolerated.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Think the shows producers have done the right thing. And as lancsdave says the police should prosacute. But even with all the evidence the CPS will probably say they haven't got enough evidence. Don't know how much they need but surely the video is more than enough.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

I know it's a bit of a thread wander (sorry) but did anybody see Amy Whinhouse (or whatever she is called) getting that award from MTV? She was as high as the proverbial kite. Don't think these people are setting a very good example to the young people who listen to their music!!!

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

I think its right that shes gone. If they said ok its in the past are you going to do it again - she will of course say no she would want to stay on xfactor but what will it say to all the kids and teenagers out there - its ok to beat someone up and go on xfactor. Also think this is something to do with you tube - all the kids want to be on there and something like this will get everyone talking about them. So theyre 'famous' for 5 mins.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

This is what I think: we should get this show, Celebrity Come Dancing, Big Brother and all other similar rubbish off our television screens as soon as possible.

Many years ago, British TV was the envy of the world. We did not have much of it, but the quality was the best. I can't put an exact date on it, but for a long time it has been going steeply downhill - probably coinciding with the increasing role of women at places like the BBC. Remember when BBC news had an international reputation? All we needed was one impartial newscaster and that was it.Not now. What we get on all the news programmes is a bloke to read one half of the news and then some overpaid bimbo to read alternative lines. For what purpose? But it's worse. Is the news impartial anymore? Is it hell...they may as well be reading the editorial from that morning's Guardian or Independant or any other similar liberal do-gooding thrash.

Outside the news programmes, what do we get? Yet more celebrity nonsense, involving house making, antiques, stupid soap, idiotic reality shows, shopping and ahatever other garbage you care to name, 24 hours a day. Quite honestly, we should shut the lot down between the hours of 11pm and 6PM and bring back the test card; at least that is interesting to look at.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Regarding Teabag's rant at the BBC, I'm sort of in agreement. Less money should be spent on over inflated salaries for the likes of Ross and Norton, and more money spent on commissioning new and original programmes.

Though looking back through some old listings, there was a lot of dross and repeats on the Beeb, even then.

The TV Room Plus

As for Emily. You'd have thought butter wouldn't have melted in her mouth.

Perhaps she should audition for Gladiators - The Teens.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Must say even then television didn't look like a bundle of fun. Having said that people didn't watch TV all the time and family life was all the better for it IMHO.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Well i for one think her family have done the right thing and had her withdrawn from the competition . Its happy slapping for gods sake .
Im with lancsdave ere . and ask what are the police doing about it ??

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Wouldn't you just. I'm surprised at her. It's only right that she's off the show because of this.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

was the video done before x fator i suppose it doesnt matter any way does it really.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

I missed the beginning of X factor tonight due to son switching it over to CbbC :mad:

Did they do a big speech about this topic??

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Lol, I missed it as well, and had to ask my friends in Gran Canaria what was said. Apparently Dermot just said she'd decided to leave the show after what had appeared in the press this week. I've been told there's also another video of Emily doing the rounds, in this one were she attacks a boy with a knife.

In tonight's show the camera scanned the audience, and I thought Brigitte Neilson was stood in the audience, only to discover moments later it was Rhydian!

Camper than Liberace's jewellry box, but fabulous. Singing a Bassey song about 'coming out'. God bless him.

Beverley and Nicky were both bang on it tonight too.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Thanks for that Rindy.

I think Alisha did very well this week. Last week and the week before, she was very shaky ( her voice ) but this week she was bob on. Probably nerves, I know I would be shaky too ( and I would clear the room ):D but she did do very well.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Yeah, it was Alisha's best week. The song really suited her. I hope she's not in the bottom two this week.

My prediction for the bottom two places are Same Difference and (No) Hope.:D

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

I can't stand NO hope :D

BUT I can't stand the female singer in same difference. Me and my eldest son were Wee'ing ourselves laughing last week at the faces she pulls. :rolleyes: She is a definite ODD BOD :) He likes ' high school musical' and he said she sounded awful! out of the mouth of babes :rolleyes:

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

We were laughing at Same Difference too. The VT they show before they sing is always a good time to get extra sympathy votes. When she said she was bullied at school this week, she should have said it was by a well built black girl, whose name began with an E.:D

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

ROFLMAO, sounds like she has beat everyone else up :rolleyes:

This little meek and mild sweetheart!! YEAHHHHHH RIGHT, tell ya what though, our little Emily could always give Knobenders a ring, I hear they are crying out for good little actresses at the moment :D

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

OWWWW so close :D:D

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

:DIt's not a Bassey song, although she sang it in an M&S commercial. I think it's a Pink song (I may be wrong on that though so don't quote me) and it's actually 'I'm coming up' and is apparently about drugs.

Wow, look at my music knowledge! :D

BTW - I think Rhydian is amazing, he's camp, fabulous and just a little bit scary. I want him to win.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

You're right, it was originally a Pink song, but Rhydian's rendition was definitely more Dame Shirley than Pink.:D

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Those girls were lucky to get through tonight. Da boyz were robbed.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

all them girls had to do was wiggle their TATs in Simon's face, they had it in the bag ..... :rolleyes:

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

The girls were awful tonight, weren't much better last week. But I wasn't particularly impressed with the boys either. One thing that annoyed me, and I know it's really trivial, is how they put the tallest in the middle, the two next tallest and either side and then the two smallest at the ends. Looked so daft!

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Agreed. It did look daft, and Louis's remark about bookends was apt.

I've complimented the designers on Strictly Dancing tonight, but the stylists who work on the X-Factor need shooting. It's very hit and miss, but mainly miss, as to what they dress them in.

Re: Emily Booted Off The X Factor
 

Agreed, very poor stylists on x-factor this series.

The one with puppy dog eyes has a long body and short legs - shouldn't be dressed in t-shirts that go over the top of his pants and long jackets - it makes it look worse.

The girl group is made to look like sluts and that red lipstick and black eyeshadow didn't work.

The girl in the brother/sister act is always made to wear full skirts and trying to make her look too 1950's style sweet.

The rather buxom divas (there are two of them) shouldn't be made to wear dresses that cut into the fat under their arms - particularly one shouldered dresses - and what was that huge growth on one of their shoulders?

The ones that they got right - Alisha in her green dress, it looked amazing against her skin tones, and Rhydian in his shiney suit, fabulous!
