But they do look like idiots!! Don't even need to listen to their video to say that!

   Haha they are just saying that so noone takes the piss!

   If someone goes to the audition "for a laugh" then they did not expect to get through in the first place. At least the deluded ones who ACTUALLY beleive thmeselves good deserve sympathy. These guys just wanted to get their faces on TV because they obviously knew they were bad and would most likely feature.

In this case, yes, they do deserve to look like idiots as that to me was there intention in the first place.

   Guys (and gals) like these make the X Factor. I stop watching when the ones who can sing are the only ones left. They wouldn't have a show without the talentless the deluded and the mentalists

   LOL - I remember when these plums were on. They were really bad!! It was hilarious, but trust me, it was not the show that made them look like idiots. They did a great job on their own doing that.

   Now that's funny. Come on, the guy on the left looks as if he's asking a girl out fot the first time - he never makes eye contact and hangs his head, they guy on the right looks ashamed at himself and looks as if he's about to give up and leave all tht time, and the overall sound really isn't great. It's not the worst effort on the show so Mr High Trousers is a bit unfair, but it doesn't get close to having the x-factor. As for being made to look like idiots - if you go on a show to audition for a career in music "for a laugh", and you can't actually sing, you've got to expect that laugh to be at your expense. Idiots no. Talentless at singing, yes. Better than me, certainly, but you don't see me going on TV to prove it.
