Sharon's entire existence on that show was just a fucking mood. The person singing wouldn't even be that funny to me, but her psychotic laughter is contagious and then I'm cackling with the woman. I love her so much XD
It's been known for years; there have been articles and videos describing the appalling deception and humiliation involved. Not to mention what they did to a mentally ill lady years ago, by paying her travel expenses, calling her to audition 3 years in a row, only so they could humiliate her on camera for insisting to return. Vomit-inducing behaviour. No wonder he named his company Syco (psycho).
Imagine how different Zoe’s reception would have been if she said “your producers told me to sing a pink song, I didn’t want to sing a pink song- I wanted to be me, but *your producers* told me to sing a pink song.”
The way the judges reacted when she said, “Well you told me to sing a Pink song I didn’t wanna sing a Pink song.” They panicked and then IMMEDIATELY got so defensive
Yep that should tell you everything we needed to know. She was about to expose them and they didn't want that. It's the same reason when you look up past contestants of The Voice. Their videos are hard to find. They don't want the truth to get out.
Nah I doubt the judges ever had any idea what the producers were doing and how they were treating the contestants. It makes their reactions more organic and believable. It wouldn’t make sense for them to tell the judges every choice they make during the casting process

From being hated by Simon and having his mic turned off for half of the live performances, to at least the third most successful member of 1D. And even then, I can’t really be sure who is more successful between him and Zayn because I hear Niall’s music more than Zayn’s.
both one direction and fifth harmony were more succesful though. and harry styles is probably the biggest star the entire show has ever produced. followed by camila
@@rockstarkicking lmaooo fifth harmony were not more successful, if you compare sales and tour sales/profit little mix have massively outsold them. Not to mention the fact that they’re still together.
If I ever auditioned for x factor, I'd sing either "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey, or "Bohemian rhapsody" by Queen. Yes, attempting to do the background voices as well. I mean, if you have to burn, why not go down with a bang? 🤷🏼♀️

The same thing happened to me after i watched ads, except it was resized into a square, cutting off half the video's screen and I just thought that tom wanted to rebrand his youtube videos to fit instagram's size format, whoops
like that one wasn't just as creepy and staged.... remember the Britney Spears super fan? the one who made her super uncomfortable? or the other Britney Spears "old friend/music partner" who also made her super uncomfortable and was probably on drugs? why did they let these people on stage if they weren't 100% convinced it would get ugly?
I auditioned a couple of years ago, the SECOND I arrived the producers pulled me aside and wanted to film a segment because I was dressed ~alternatively~ and the second they spoke to me and realised I wasn't a weirdo they dropped me lmao
I auditioned for X Factor in 2010, a nervous 18 year old and after waiting for hours and hours with nowhere to go and get food or drinks I finally got to audition for the producers and they read me to filth, saying my look wasn't what they wanted, I should learn guitar and come back next year blah blah blah.. Was soul destroying and I lost all faith in the show after that. Wow that was a suppressed memory 😂
while it's heartbreaking to know you had such a bad experience, it may have just been a blessing in disguise given what we know now. u were/still are better than those wankers :)
Alexander's breakdown over the P!nk song, and her comment, 'You told me to sing a P!nk song, I didn't want to sing a P!nk song." hits so different knowing the truth behind it. It actually hurts, now. Damn.
I auditioned when I was 19, and it was a full day- didn't see the judges, nothing. Waited 6 hours in an open football stadium with over 60'000 other people. There were no refreshments and no structure. 6 hours, by the time I'd got into the teeny booth where I could hear other people next to me I was knackered. They asked 'WHY, WHAT MAKES YOU WANT TO BE HERE?' and I said 'because I love singing and I' d like to be on Broadway one day' the guy shrugged and said 'when you're ready...' I was allowed to sing 60 seconds at most and he said no. The sick thing was that when you audition you're either told no if you've not got the THING, given a gold ticket if you have and a blue ticket if you're a laughing stock. So the blues are handed out like tictacs, nos- vast majority and the golds? Few are far between with coaching along the way. And that's the xfactor xxxx
That's Tom's point, the real winners were the people who didn't win the show and avoided being sucked into a contract with Simon Cowell. Yeah, both Little Mix and One Direction started off as solo singers and were made into groups
yea they did i pressume simon thought that by grouping 'strangers' together and making them big starts it made people think that signing a contract with syco is the dream it willmake you a 'STAR'
louis getting through that absolutely shocking first audition has always mystified me but i guess it was all set up that he’d be put into a boyband before they’d even begun filming
To be fair to Little Mix, the girls are still together and broke away from SYCO in 2018. They are releasing their sixth album next week and all throughout 2020 they have been releasing amazing music. Little Mix are the only winners from the X-Factor who actually got an amazing career out of it and who are still triving after 10 years in the industry.
They're literally the best group out there, they have amazing chemistry and they all actually care about each other. They stay unproblematic and ✨ thriving ✨ Edit: forgot to mention that obviously, their music is class as well
And if I recall, they played Zoe's music incorrectly so she would be off. Like the music playing in her earphones for her to follow was off beat or in the wrong pitch so it would mess her up
the fact that i used to watch zoe's performance and think she was crazy af when she said "but you told me to sing a pink song", and now it all makes sense i just-
Are we all forgetting that if it wasn’t for Nigel Lythgoe and Popstars, Simon Cowell wouldn’t have made Pop idol, X Factor or the Got Talent franchise? Popstars actually asked Simon to be on the panel for their show but he declined, because he didn’t think anyone would watch the process of manufacturing a band. When he found out how successful Popstars was, it gave him the idea for all of his shows. Hear’Say supremacy ✌️
and then Simon Fuller had to be paid off, I think! I did edit out quite a bit of the legal stuff for some reason, so cheers for this comment, it’s helpful. Imagine a world where Kym Marsh didn’t exist !!!
x factor > cher lloyd > “does one yous not know how to flush a toilet after you’ve had a shit!?” does have the same energy has 911 > my chemical romance > twilight > 50 shades of grey
“Who is Leona Lewis?” Ummm...she’s one of the few X Factor contestants that had success in the States, which is saying a lot. That said, the show is like pro wrestling - a total work.
This is what happened with Little Mix. They became stars but they were treated horribly when under Simon's label. They have more freedom and dignity now with another label. :(
@@woodzie988 because of nerves, and being under rehearsed, and presumably being flustered from having such a sudden change of plans, and inexperience, there are so many reasons that it could have sounded bad (if he did actually have to change the song that is). Even if he didn't change the song he is undeniably talented now and the judges clearly saw something in him that made them put him through
Anyone else likes Tom because he is the semi-gay/chill uncle who will be judgemental of everything happening in the world but, when it comes to him it's a masterpiece and notting harsh. Love the personality who doesn't. ( okay Idc about his sexuality Gay, Straight, Bisexual I'm just here for him and the content)
Boggles my mind that he's not even aware that she basically joined the westend. She's been in the westend since 2014, and is still there now. Give or take lockdown. And he chatting about flop. I'll admit, I switched off after that.
I was asked to go for a private audition with the show’s producers after they found me on TH-cam a few years ago. Heck. No. Also said no to The Voice. A friend of a friend went on the latter. Producers insisted talent arrived at 7am, but didn’t start shouting blind auditions until gone 5. They spent weeks building him up, telling him they thought he could go all the way. They had total creative control over his audition choices, which he was then criticised for by the judging panel. Didn’t even pass the blind audition.
When is anyone going to talk about Ceri Rees, she was a vulnerable widow who was repeatedly humiliated and hounded by the show and has now gone into hiding, i hope she is ok.
Leona Lewis did have a pretty successful career through the X-Factor though. Singers all around the world would dream to have that career. You don't have to be Britney Spears famous to not be considered a flop. Sorry.
True. I remember watching another video that mentioned she was the first UK female artist to receive the number one spot on the US charts after twenty years.
@@parkerisles7256 Yeah and you know what? Even if she hadn't done that I;m tired of this flop mentality. There are singers out there who are starving and would kill to have just one song even chart. Sure artist's sales decline over time but people like Leona have millions of dollars of net worth from their singing careers and that means they did something right. I am by no means a Leona stan (though I really like her). Just as a person working in Showbiz I think any person who had songs and albums chart even just once, is doing a pretty damn good job.

And if I recall, they played Zoe's music incorrectly so she would be off. Like the music playing in her earphones for her to follow was off beat or in the wrong pitch so it would mess her up
the fact that i used to watch zoe's performance and think she was crazy af when she said "but you told me to sing a pink song", and now it all makes sense i just-
Tom, behind that table, makes me feel like *I'm* on the X factor and he's judging to see if I'm worthy to watch him.
Are we all forgetting that if it wasn’t for Nigel Lythgoe and Popstars, Simon Cowell wouldn’t have made Pop idol, X Factor or the Got Talent franchise? Popstars actually asked Simon to be on the panel for their show but he declined, because he didn’t think anyone would watch the process of manufacturing a band. When he found out how successful Popstars was, it gave him the idea for all of his shows.
Hear’Say supremacy ✌️
and then Simon Fuller had to be paid off, I think! I did edit out quite a bit of the legal stuff for some reason, so cheers for this comment, it’s helpful. Imagine a world where Kym Marsh didn’t exist !!!
x factor > cher lloyd > “does one yous not know how to flush a toilet after you’ve had a shit!?” does have the same energy has 911 > my chemical romance > twilight > 50 shades of grey
this is the best comment
“Who is Leona Lewis?” Ummm...she’s one of the few X Factor contestants that had success in the States, which is saying a lot. That said, the show is like pro wrestling - a total work.
why would you disrespect miss leona lewis like that have you forgotten bleeding love
Literally !!!!
How can anyone forget when that’s the only song of hers we remember
"My ex boyfriend's dog's chew toy went missing and this song is dedicated to it. "
*singular tear rolls down simon cowell's cheek*
**Sharon smacks judges' table and wheezes**
Unanimously sent to bootcamp
The way I knew Harry Styles would be on the thumbnail before watching it. Nothing but love for our King
Was JUST thinking “I miss Tom Harlock”. Open TH-cam and hour later and this is my first notification.
I manifested this and no one can tell me otherwise. Universe I would also like to be rich so hop to it.
I literally was just on his channel to watch one of his old videos because he hadn't uploaded in a minute.
This is what happened with Little Mix. They became stars but they were treated horribly when under Simon's label. They have more freedom and dignity now with another label. :(
Same as 1D. The only way that they could break free was to break up
boy you didn't need to niall and louis dirty like THAT
i’ve been watching peasants all day, luckily the king has finally posted 😌
I can’t think of something to write so happy Halloween
happy halloween luv
@@tom_harlock this is so cute 😭
3:04 i felt so bad for her. She was clearly nervous and they made it worse by laughing at her
not you calling leona lewis a flop when BLEEDING LOVE exists
Right, that's the only name I recognized out of that list
Shes a one hit wonder unfortunately. She's so talented it's a shame what ended up happening
i’m sorry but the way simon was like “you’re not as good as you think” and niall went “🤷🏼♂️” IS TAKING ME TF OUT
Apparently they made Louis change his song right before he was about to sing it and that's why it didn't sound good (I might be wrong tho)
That's what I heard. I'm surprised he got through but I'm glad he did
I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor, but they did let him retry off screen
@@crowsy ye that makes sense, I just always found it weird how bad the audition sounded Vs how well he sang in 1D/now
And why would that matter if he actually had the talent lol he simply can’t sing
@@woodzie988 because of nerves, and being under rehearsed, and presumably being flustered from having such a sudden change of plans, and inexperience, there are so many reasons that it could have sounded bad (if he did actually have to change the song that is). Even if he didn't change the song he is undeniably talented now and the judges clearly saw something in him that made them put him through
Anyone else likes Tom because he is the semi-gay/chill uncle who will be judgemental of everything happening in the world but, when it comes to him it's a masterpiece and notting harsh. Love the personality who doesn't.
( okay Idc about his sexuality Gay, Straight, Bisexual I'm just here for him and the content)
Tom actually gives me "married three times but all of my husband's died *mysteriously* and I inherited everything" vibes.
It’s funny since he’s straight haha, the British campiness is unstoppable
He’s not gay lol
@@applefarm6126 D: ive thought he was gay the whole time smh im disappointed in myself.
As i friggin should be
@@Mothermoon420 you don’t have to be disappointed, but yea he’s a ladies man
Why does Tom sound seconds away from having a breakdown
Probably is. At this point it's just part of his signature sound.
He had to watch hours of X Factor for this video. Poor love needs a month-long lay down now.
That's what I thought
"face first into the point and you still missed it"
They should've ended it after One Direction and Little Mix.
petition to get tom to talk about his love for 1D more
Alexandra Burke has had a decent career in musical theatre: Bodyguard and Chicago. One of the hottest names in the West End.
Boggles my mind that he's not even aware that she basically joined the westend. She's been in the westend since 2014, and is still there now. Give or take lockdown. And he chatting about flop. I'll admit, I switched off after that.
me to myself throughout the whole video: *do not get offended on behalf of Louis do not get offended on behalf of Louis*
I'M OFFENDED 😡😭👎
struggling to detect the lie if i'm honest
LITERALLY ME TOO
No one offends Louis😭
PLS ME TOO
I got Niall's ad after Simon slaughtered him... boi was he wrong about that!
Exactly!
Didn't Simon ended up saying yes to him tho
Bullshit i waited for that part just to get a damn popeyes ad ffs
I got so excited to have 1D in this video. Directioner since they came outttt!!!!!
Louis Tomlinson also just ended simon winning his case against him and dropped syco
I was asked to go for a private audition with the show’s producers after they found me on TH-cam a few years ago. Heck. No. Also said no to The Voice. A friend of a friend went on the latter. Producers insisted talent arrived at 7am, but didn’t start shouting blind auditions until gone 5. They spent weeks building him up, telling him they thought he could go all the way. They had total creative control over his audition choices, which he was then criticised for by the judging panel. Didn’t even pass the blind audition.
Thank you for your insight
Completely underrated comment
I always think about how they were so hard on Niall and now he’s a huge musician
I mostly agree but Leona Lewis did not deserve this
Sam Martin I loved her songs
@@missserenity1090 yes, loved
Emma Denton I love her songs
@@missserenity1090 Honestly she's still a queen - 'Bleeding Love' will live on forever hahaha
“3 with talent and 2 to make the numbers up” HELP TOM NO
i won’t stand for this little mix slander 😭😭
When is anyone going to talk about Ceri Rees, she was a vulnerable widow who was repeatedly humiliated and hounded by the show and has now gone into hiding, i hope she is ok.
Leona Lewis did have a pretty successful career through the X-Factor though. Singers all around the world would dream to have that career. You don't have to be Britney Spears famous to not be considered a flop. Sorry.
True. I remember watching another video that mentioned she was the first UK female artist to receive the number one spot on the US charts after twenty years.
I think he was being sarcastic?
@@parkerisles7256 Yeah and you know what? Even if she hadn't done that I;m tired of this flop mentality. There are singers out there who are starving and would kill to have just one song even chart. Sure artist's sales decline over time but people like Leona have millions of dollars of net worth from their singing careers and that means they did something right.
I am by no means a Leona stan (though I really like her). Just as a person working in Showbiz I think any person who had songs and albums chart even just once, is doing a pretty damn good job.
I really liked her too
@@GeoMusic99 exactly. I hate the mentality that unless unless you are an absolute star, you "flopped".
tom looks like a sort of mysterious evil scientist in a good way
Tom truly did something by having his hands in the shot
the fact that when Louis left Syco they went bankrupt say a lot. love the fetus videos.
louis redeemed himself after the xfactor honestly
True
you talking about 1D’s early days on the 5 year anniversary of their last show hurts ngl
@samantha bernat Bruh there last show was today five years ago they actually broke up my god
I'm actually in Payne ngl
Payne :/
all Payne no Liam
I know, it hurts
Bernadette Banner is probably the only youtuber who'll manage to slip past Tom's gaze unscathed.
Omg I swear
I love her omg
She’s great
“A bit of shampoo and a couple of dentastix might help the cause” 💀💀💀💀
XFactor: *constantly pressures auditioners to be perfectionists*
Auditioners: *act out when the judges don't think they're perfect*
XFactor: *surprised pikachu face*
Honestly if you’d make a podcast I’d never stop listening to it.
I was NOT ready for the always in my heart tweet to pop up in this video and now i gotta go binge on larry stylinson everything for the next 3 weeks now.
Our King has returned to drag the hells of British TV. 📺
Yesterday I went on a Tom Harlock binge, and it's like I summoned the gorgeous man himself
The eyeballs of anyone with taste greatly appreciate it
that louis audition clip still haunts me to this day
The balls on that woman to stand there and tell the judges to get out!
fucking legendary
I like how Tom bullies us and we still come back and watch his videos. :)
Just make sure you have the perfect sob story and boom you're a winner.
Leona Lewis is very successful imo. She's got 7 million odd listeners on Spotify
today: tom being responsible for my one direction breakdown
SAMEEEEE ITS THEIR 11TH ANNIVERSARY TOOO1🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
tom honestly was such a big part of my quarantine. literally the happiest i was in months was when i was sewing and watching tom. seriously man, keep this up. you are so funny but also so genuine and i feel like even when i’m sad i can come watch these videos and feel distracted.
