Jeffrey Jung 19,680 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 "X-Factor" producers concocted an elaborate scheme in order to GUARANTEE the failure of one H.S. Show Choir ... all for the sake of shaming them on national television, so say the alleged victims. Members of Hollywood High School choir -- H20 -- filmed a segment for the upcoming season of "X-Factor"But things didn't go as planned. The leader of H20 tells TMZ ... producers had a sick plan to humiliate and embarrass their crew when they appeared on stage.They rehearsed an awesome song "Some Nights" by FUN, but at the last minute producers told them the song wasn't on the approved list. Ditto the other song they rehearsed -- "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele.They ended up singing "Shake It Out" by Florence and the Machine ... and it was a disaster. For starters, Simon cut the choir off before they could get through the song ... because they were wearing normal street clothes instead of their uniforms. But here's the thing -- they say producers insisted that the group NOT wear the uniforms.But wait -- there's more. The group claims they had to wait 14 hours before taking the stage, they weren't able to rehearse, and they only gave the 14 choir members 6 mics.The group tells us ... they're demanding an apology because they feel they were purposefully humiliated. A rep for "X-Factor" tells TMZ ... "The group had the chance of performing 2 songs for judges. The judges didn't think they were good enough to move forward in this competition."Then adds, "Certain songs cannot be cleared for use in the show and contestants are informed of this in advance and are asked to choose alternative songs if this is the case. None of the judges even commented on what the group was wearing." cr: TMZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimswamswum 1,063 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That's ridiculous. I hope the apologize. So unprofessional and low The producers approve who gets to perform in front of the judges beforehand, too. (I went to an audition taping and they barely judge anyone.)

Hyoyeon~Minzy 12,109 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 they do this with all public audition shows. humiliation = more viewers = more money. why else would they let the plainly ridiculous people on the stage to be mocked and laughed at other than to be mocked and laughed at. I feel so sorry for these kids, they had their hopes up and had faith in the show only to be mistreated and have be publicly ridiculed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schitstainz 1,562 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't understand why they can't sing certain songs.. 'Cause they don't have permission from the singer or label. It's the same thing with American Idol and any other show that has singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezebel 312 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The story doesn't surprise me, though I wouldn't be surprised if this story was faked for Simon to get some quick hype. I don't understand why they can't sing certain songs.. Copyright laws. You can't just use a song without getting the proper permission first. seems more like the choir members are sore losers. i don't understand why producers would target some random choir just to purposely humiliate them. like wut If you watched Panda on X-Factor last year, you'll notice that her epic "rolling out in an ambulance" scene was shown, but after that she was completely cut out of the show (even though she advanced and was part of the later season). The reason Simon can't keep judges is because there's a lot of shady crap going on behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
