Joseph was a disgrace IMO, to throw a strop just because Gary said he would remove him from the lineup, it wasn't even Gary's decision to make, also why on earth did Sharon even ask the other judges who they would remove?
This Joseph guy uses Emotional bullying to get through each round, first he uses his kid then he does a "poor me" mini breakdown on stage because he feared he might get taken out of the lineup, poor Katie who was the one removed in the end, she was respectful and dignified throughout, I think Joseph's little tantrum might have swayed Sharon's choice.
And this Nicholas guy (magnificent name) but he is so bland, yes he can sing, but he puts no emotion in the songs he sings, he's another Joe McElderry, he hits all the right notes but has no personality at all....no X Factor....but I think he'll win.
