No X-Factor return for Harrow's Johnny Robinson

Posted by Steve Bax on Nov 10, 11 01:04 PM in People

johnnyx.jpgONE of the four acts kicked off the X-Factor by judges in the first week of live shows will take Frankie Cocozza's place, ending hope for Johnny Robinson.

After speculation spread over the Internet that Harrow's finest high-pitched entertainer would return to the show after tearaway Cocozza was kicked off, a statement has been released confirming a new twist to this week's live show.

Viewers voted for Johnny over the five weeks he was in the competition after he survived a brutal first week in which judges had to eliminate one of their own acts.

Talkback Thames, the production company for X-Factor, said that one of these acts, Amelia Lily, Jonjo Kerr, James Michael or 2 Shoes, will return on Saturday after a public vote which will run from today until before the show. Details of this will be released later today, Thursday.

Tell us your view. Do you like the new twist of bringing back a week one reject, or should Johnny be reinstated on the show in Frankie's place? Post your comments below.

We'd like to hear from you.

I think it is absolutely disgusting that they are bringing those 4 acts back.
The Risk received the lowest votes so were automatically eliminated. Johnny sang for a position in this weeks show and was eliminated because the judges thought Kitty would sell more albums than Johnny. What a load of bull.
I am sure Johnny would sell more than Kitty.
Johnny all the way.

It should be Johnny to come back. The 4 that went out on week 1 have not earned the right to return half way through the contest. What are Xfactor thinking?

sarah said:

I totally agree with tony it should be johnny to come back. he was the last person to be voted off the xfactor by the judges not the pubic, this show is going down hill fast.they need to listen to the pubic.

Mo said:

Please bring Johnny back. He deserves to return as he was the last to be voted off - unlike the other 4 acts who were voted off early in the series.

Jean said:

Johnny should definitely be the one to come back! It's crazy to bring back people who were voted off weeks ago. So unfair. X Factor production are getting everything wrong this time. Please, please bring back Johnny - he's so good, so entertaining, and cheers me up with his smile and comments.

janet said:

In a fair competition Johnny should without question be brought back or x factor will run the risk of losing even more viewers.
How on earth can contestants dropped so early on deserve the right back in

WELL LETS JUST NOT VOTE AND NOT WATCH THE DAM SHOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOCHARY OF THE RULES AND PEOPLES MONEY WASTED ON VOTES!!!!!! BRING JOHNNY BACK

Johnny should be brought back on x factor because he is an excellent example of how to behave when in the public eye and he is a shinning role model to many would be singers and entertainers

Tracy Lockett said:

That's not a twist to the show it's just sick and I for one have become an ex X Factor viewer overnight - they can shove the show where the sun don't shine now as far as I'm concerned - very very unfair on both Johnny and the other contestants already in the show - how disgusting and anybody who parts with their money now on voting is just condoning something that is totally wrong!

jim said:

Johnny should have asked to fill the latest place you would not take a medal from a disgraced athlete and give it to some one way down the field,it beggars believes they way Johnny was treated

Gwen said:

Very dissapointed that Johnny hasn't been given another chance, it would have been the fairest thing to do. All X-factor wants to do is make loads more money from the phone votes. Very greedy decision.

Johnny should be allowed his place back in the X Factor. What an entertaining, talented and lovely man he is. I have lost all interest in the show now that he has gone. So much for the public having their say if it was up to the public Johnny should be re instated.

yorkie said:

I don't think the organisers are being fare to Johnny, bring him back, I am disgusted at the organisers.

Melanie said:

I to think Johnny is brilliant. I love his voice, his funny quips and his humility. I will not be watching x factor again and I hope everyone who wants Johnny re-instated refuses to switch on this Saturday. Hit Cowell where it hurts by not voting for anyone. Utterly disgusting. Johnny if you read this, the
public are 100% behind you and yes we do love you and accept you for who you are. I have no doubt that you will be snapped up soon. All the best and lots of love

Bring Johnny Robinson back he is what this country needs, a good laugh. He is am amazing entertainer. Get rid of Lou Walsh I say. If they bring back any of the four acts suggested then I shall not be watching any more, its just stupid they have been voted off while Johnny was still in the show so he has presidency over them, are the show makers gone bonkers, its just not right. Johnny Robinson for Prime Minister, Johnny Robinson forever. Hope the BBC can see his talent. X Factor is a arm pit if they don't bring him back.

Its just not British is it? What is going on? Me thinks very greedy people wanting even more money from votes! IT IS JOHNNY'S RIGHT TO COME BACK TO THE PROGRAMME. I shall not watch until Simon comes back, Simon Cowell come back and save us all. Johnny we love you.

Richard said:

Johnny should be brought back to X Factor, He would make a recording artist, and I am sure if he was given the chance to do a proper tour, he would sell out. People love Johnny.
Simon Cowell must have sanctioned this stupid twist, it is only another rouse on the British Public to raise yet more money for his already overflowing coffers. GREED springs to mind, without thought of peoples feelings,
BRING BACK JOHNNY NOW,

Bring back Johnny, I may stop watching the show as it clearly shows it's rigged... they obviously realised that Frankie Cocozza although getting the votes would never have a future as a singer, and they don't want to invest in a lost cause, so they got rid of him, and good riddance, what a waste of space, but surely they should just reinstate the last act to get the boot, meaning Johnny. The only reason Frankie Cocozza lasted that long was because he got all his floozies to vote for him, and god knows there are many, just look at his butt... Johnny is an entertainer, he is humble, polite, with a sense of humour, versatile, and never faulted on a song, never got a tune wrong, he is professional, he has really worked hard for this competition, and deserves a second chance!!

Ann Edwards said:

Of course irt should be Johnny returningm why ask those that were kicked off at the start to come back. If Johnny isn't asked to return I and my family will certainly stop watching X factor along with many more.

Julia said:

I would be very interested to know what the actual vote was for last week, 'cos I don't believe that Kitty got more votes than Johnny. He was a breath of fresh air with an amazing talent - the producers are just petrified that he could have won this show.

Tina said:

I think it is only fair to bring back Johnny. He was last out, so should be given the chance to return. Why are less talented entrants being given a second chance when they didn't even get very far? I won't be watching it anymore, I think the judges are making a mockery of the whole show. What is the point of a public vote if the judges can ignore it to follow their own agenda?

RosIOW said:

The way Johnny has been treated by TXF is a disgrace. It seems he has gone with no fairness for him or the public that voted for him week after week. TXF has lost me too. I will never bother with the show again after this shambles. You know what you can do with the Reject Factor you have created Mr Barlow.

Paul said:

Totally disgusting why the hell would we want back any of the 4 that where voted off weeks ago. Only descent thing to do is bring back Johnny he is clearly more popular than any of those 4 it makes a mockery of the public voting. There just fixing the show one of the 4 come back Saturday then leave again on Sunday what's the point other than to keep the show on the same track that it was on. 2 Shoes, Amelia Lily, James Michael and Jonjo Kerr sadly your being used as cannon fodder.

virginia said:

Yes i totaly agree it is johnny who should be back as he was the one sent home last. This years X factor has been disgraceful. The songs are boring and so are the acts. The whole show appears to be set up.
