When I found that out it made me feel very sorry for the poor losers who can't sing but think they can and only get let through to be mocked on national tv. It also puts their displays of outrage in perspective if they've had their confidence bolstered already by two successful rounds before being told they're the worst singers in the world and are wasting the judges' time.

If thats the case why do they put people through just to make a mockery of them? is it just for the comedy value of the judges telling them they can't sing and everyone at home laughing at them?

I think it's awful that people get let through just so they can be laughed at. Yes I agree that some of those people are rubbish, but to be let through the first few rounds and then let down so heavily must make you feel terrible. I know I'd be in tears if that happened to me.

Thats harsh! But also true! Personally, i dont care what people think, and regularly do things that get a few laughs, but i can imagine it being a lot different on national television!
