X Factor 2010: Cheryl Cole lets Treyc Cohen and Gamu Nhengu go

Twitter has been a buzzing with discontented souls tonight and most of them seem to be furious with Cheryl Cole, for failing to put Gamu Nhengu through to the live shows next week.

As one of our followers so nicely put it:

‘Cheryl Cole can’t even pick her nose properly!”

The ‘Promise This’ singer has chosen single mum Rebecca Ferguson, Madonna lookalike Katie Waissel and flakely hoarse Cher Lloyd as her final three, leaving behind the immensely talented Gamu Nhengu and the gorgeous Treyc Cohen.

Breaking the news to Gamu, Cheryl said:

“I thought you were adorable, I got you, I loved how you performed. You are adorable and you have a great voice.”

But all that adorability just wasn’t enough. Cheryl continued:

“For right now it’s a no, I’m sorry I can’t take you any further. You need to keep going and get some experience.”

Many viewers are now hoping that Gamu will make it through on next week’s Wildcard round (more details here). Do you think she stands a chance? Did Cheryl make the right choice tonight? Leave your comments below.

    Definitely Gamu instead of Katie…

  2. ali says:

    Cheryl has lost the plot, .,.,.,Katy is a drama queen and lime light hogger.,.,., GAMU has the real talent, so amazing and talented, sorry she’s been binned,., good luck to the Liverpudlian!

  3. Sara says:

    Cheryl, what were you thinking? Let’s hope Katie gets voted off in the first week. Bring back Gamu!

  4. bella says:

    wat was cheryl thinkg?dropped gamu and treyc for katie?i cant blieve it.is she ok

  5. October says:

    More experience?! I seem to recall Katie messing up her audition whilst Gamu, once again performed as she always has, beautifully.
    I say we replace Cheryl with Nicole Z. Stupid girl.

  6. henry says:

    I think after Cheryl’s experience with Ashley Cole, She decided to punish people of a certain colour close to Ashley’s. What other reason can you find for her choices. She might take us all for mugs if she thought for one second that she won’t get a buck lush for these ridiculous decisions.Someone remind Cheryl that form is temporary but Talent last forever, These girls she’s blocking now will somehow find there way to fame because they are talented end of.

  7. Kevin - Treyc Fan says:

    Treyc is a wildcard so it’s sort of ok.

  8. Sharon says:

    What is Cheryl thinking about to choose Katie over Gamu? Perhaps she should ensure she’s completely recovered and let Nicole continue the great job she was doing. She wouldn’t have been conned by Katie’s obvious ploy to play on Cheryl’s emotions. Unless Gamu is the wild card, I will not bother watching the x factor anymore. Thought the show was going to be a good one with Matt, Mary, One Direction, Aidan, Rebecca, Cher, Belle Amie and could only be Gamu with these – didn’t mind who else after that! But….no Gamu, no x factor!!

  9. Jacqui says:

    Gamu is our wildcard. Cheryl messed up again…..

    • Kevin - Treyc Fan says:

      It’s Treyc who was the Girls wildcard selected by Cheryl

      • Faloola says:

        she WILL get booed bad if she picks TreyC over Gamu. there a Facebook page suporting Gamu with 26k in less than 4 hours. whereas Treyc has nothing same in youtube gamu has got millions of views whereas T has none.

  10. Ian says:

    What is the whole point of the judges houses auditions!? Katie was c**p, and cher didnt even sing her song and they both got through!! I wont be watching this year as it is already annoying me. Gamu was so much better than katie drama queen and weirdo. people will soon get bored of chers “original” singing too. Will she do a stupid rap for every song?
    Nicole was a much better judge than cheryl is, they should have kept her instead of the increasingly annoying “nations sweetheart” and her crying.

  11. kass says:

    omg cnt believe she did tht gamu used to go to my school and she was like the most talented nicest and polite girl u cld ever meet!!! she deserved it the most not some cheryls wanna be and some fake madonna impersonater sorry to any fans of theirs but its just wrong to put the people through tht have messed up twice alredy imagine whts going to happen when its the live shows then cheryl will regret not puttin gamu through

  12. jane mcglinchey says:

    I cannot believe that Gamu and Treye didnt get through! Its a travesity! What is Cheryl like…..Katie was such a drama queen at her audition and although I was sorry that Cher’s audition was not great…Gamu and Treye should have been in the final 3. I have no problem with Rebecca her audition was awesome! It has completely put me off watching X Factor…its all gimics and stories and the true talent doesnt get through!

  13. Countessa says:

    I am sorry – although out of all the judges – Cheryl is the one that has actually been through this experience – she cannot see talent if it came up and bit her in the bum. I think madonna look-a-likey is very annoying and quite fake.. there is no real oomph in her. Gamu had that quiet energy – that if given the chance – she would have blossomed…She had that ooomph – bring on Gamu!

  14. Bazz says:

    Treyc is the wildcard!! This girl needed the break, Gamu can come back again :) better than ever

  15. aj says:

    There’s no point trying to say all the things wrong with Cheryl’s decision, just to ask, has she gone mad?

    Maybe Henry’s right: it was certainly the impression we got in our household…

  16. kerina says:

    oooom this x-factor has really proved this time around that its a talentless, headless,idiotic circus….simon u better up r game and for cheryl u aint a good singer u were just an opportunist u felt gamu a threat …should she suffer as a consequence of r failled marriage to ashley?u make me sic….no wonder ashley used to cheat on you …you full of rubbish….empty vessel….

  17. lanie says:

    Oh Kerina you sound like a bitter person, why is it ok to be so nasty? just because you do not like a decision made by Cheryl, YOU MAKE ME SICK actually you coward hiding behind a computer saying stuff like this, some people have no sense of decency at all- GO Cheryl I like the choices you made.

  18. Joe says:

    Of course, gamu is the best of all the girls, she is talented more than Katie, sheryl is a stupid for chosing that amateur, bad singer katie

  19. Pam says:

    Unbelievable!! I’ve followed X Factor online from the U.S. for years and this was the worst judging I’ve ever seen out of this show. Cheryl robbed Trey C and Gamu. Absolutely regrettable. And I hope that those two young ladies find themselves at the top of the charts!

  20. Estevan says:

    TreyC is great and all, but I was rooting for Gamu from the beginning. Can we just removed Cher Lloyd and Katie because we all know they are not going to win. What’s Cher going to do when she has to sing, she can’t rap the whole way through. Katie is a wannabe Madonna, we already have loads of those.

    Clearly Malaria has tampered with Cherly’s brain.

  21. Kamila says:

    Cheryl can’t sing so she chose girls that were the weakest in singing so they are not a threat for her simple get Please X Factor replace talentless Cheryl with Nicole S

  22. kass says:

    i completly agree with u there nicole s would be well better than cheryl no talent cole =p

  23. Brian and meryl says:

    What just happened? Did cheryl just lose her marbles???? I hope Simon sacks her for stupidity ! Simon liked gamu the first time he saw her ! I know he won’t be happy with cheryls choices ! Get rid of her we say ! That useless katie who can’t remember the words and the rap wannabe !! She can’t even rap let alone sing !!! I can’t wait for the live show when katie cocks up her words again !! Just makes it easier for matt cardie to win though !!

  24. Maureen says:

    Cheryl has messed up big time tonight. 2 quirky acts with Katie and Cher do not make up for one talented Gamu, and Tracy Cohen.

    All the judges have made mistakes tonight.

    Cheryl 2 mistakes.Katie & Cher.
    Louis 1 mistake not choosing Aleisha Instead of Storm
    Danni 2 mistakes Niccolo and Aiden Instead if Paige & Marlon.
    Simon. Need one say anymore.

    The whole show was a msitake.

  25. Cathy and Chris says:

    Well we were hugely disappointed that Gamu did not get in, she was our reason for viewing every week. Since she was not put in and Cheryl obviously should not have gotten the girls, we have no real reason to tune in any further. What a shame. At least Gamu could look at her audiance. Rebecca hasn’t even opened her eyes to see who she’s singing too. Cher couldn’t even sing @ the judges’ house, yet Cheryl seemed to see potential in someone who hadn’t even sung. I guess this is why Cheryl is coming to the US as the UK doesn’t seem to care for her talent either.

  26. Dan says:

    i live at the US and I LOVE the xfactor. I think Gamu got something there and what the HECK is Cheryl thinking? She is obviously Not full recovered! So NOT voting for Cher or the madonna lookalike copycat. Oh so mad!!!

  27. val says:

    i dont get it…. bad bad bad decisons…. what happened ???

  28. tony says:

    The decision made by Cheryl has got to be the worst seen throughout the years of watching X Factor.Cher did not sing and how can she posiibly get through.Based on what?As far as Katie is concerned,twice she had to restart her song.No talent whatsoever and yet so many fantastic singers to choose from.The whole country can see that.Therefore Cheryl has to go.She cannot make such a simple decision and she calls herself a judge.I firmly believe Simon needs to act and get rid of Cheryl.

  29. KC says:

    Personally I’m quite indifferent to Gamu, though I agree she would’ve been waaay better than Katie. That girl just pisses the crap out of me; she’s only in it for the fame and it’s so obvious.

    On the plus side, yay for Rebecca!

  30. Steff says:

    Cheryl should be ashamed of herself. I think she is prejudiced because Gamu is from Zimbabwe. Just because she married Ashley Cole does not mean she isn’t discriminatory. As a judge she as a responsibly to act above her own prejudices and act fairly, this is clearly not the case.

  31. I can’t believe Gamu wasn’t picked. Lets hope she’s the wild card as she was really in with a chance to be the winner this year.

  32. pat says:

    cheryl wtf

  33. pat says:

    listen,this aint about Gamu only..the other girls outclassed Katie n CHER.what was her whole point in pamampering CHER when she couldnt sing???????she picked the 2 worst in that category who didnt perfom well in saturdays show.Cheryl has shown her true colours.racist she is.IS THIS STILL ABOUT TALENT OR COLOUR?i say goOdBye x factor and hello strictly come dancing as ITS A WAIST OF TIME WATCHING SHOWS LIKE THAT coz at the end of the day if the judges aint fair,they aint even a point in watching it..i lost respect for u CHERYL.ITS A SHAME

  34. petbra says:

    Gamu was robbed by that Tweedy twit!

  35. Nikky says:

    Oh dear! Oh dear!! Cheryl,what were u thinking putting those girls thru? i mean Katie n Cher? I thought this was supposed to be a talent show! well!well!!well!!! I think her divorce is still affecting her really badly,why don’t u just do us all a great favor n TAKE A BREAK! n stop taking it out on some certain people….Gamu will always get my vote n she’s also got what it takes,will always do better than u ever will in the music industry cheryl….I used to really love u until last night..sorry!

  36. DeeDee says:

    Cheryl is clearly not over her breakdown (malaria my foot!!). Katie hides behind her quirky look whilst sounding like a constipated duck and cheryl does a really bad attempt at rapping whilst not being able to actually sing. If she turns every song into a rap people are going to get very bored very quickly.

  37. candygirl says:

    I was a little disappointed in some of the decisions I am a bit perplexed. I can’t believe the arrogant French guy got in. I disliked him from the start. Cheryl, you should have told the wannabe rapper girl to come back next year. I like Katie’s voice and Gamu. However, making the viewer believe that it was between the 2 of them was wrong.
    I believe Xfactor has lost the plot over the last few years. I have watched as xfactor has changed for the worst and we now have 4 egotistical wanna be gods playing am better then you with peoples lives. It seems to be more about the judges then the contestants. Its very distasteful. I can’t help feeling like I’ve been taken for a ride and disappoint by ITV that they have allowed it to lose focus!. Xfactor has lost its direction and real spirit! I’M VERY DISSATIFIED!!

  38. danny says:

    i think they should bring a fifth judge in for the live shows and let them choose 3 acts from the outcasts! then when one of the very talented wrongly rejected win the show it will clearly slap the other judges in the face!

  39. The Truth says:

    I think Cheryl still has malaria if not why will she let Gamu go. I always knew she lacked intelligence, i am not surprised.

  40. cheryl says:

    The decision has been made – im now so looking forward to watching Cher do big band week – should be hilarious.
    Don’t agree with the comments that Cheryl is racist tho.
    If Gamu isn’t the wild card i’m sure she will be signed up soon (she’s amazing}.
    Katy will be voted off the first week, and as for Trayc – seen it all before, but good luck to her.

  41. Elaine says:

    I have always watched X Factor from start to finish but NOT this year. Gamu was clearly a favourite from day 1, what happened????!!!!!! Maybe Cherly has been told NOT to win again this year that’s what she did what she did. Doesn’t matter that Katie has had a record deal before, the fact is she is an attention seeker, I personally think she forgot her words last night and in her first audition on purpose to see what reaction she got. So now she thinks she is that wonderful that even if she forgets her words she may still win………. I THINK NOT!!!! Can you imagine how Gamu feels right now thinking she was one of the favourites and now not even in the show. I truly hope she is Cherly’s wil card cos I think there is gonna be a lot of people NOT switching on on a Saturday night to watch it.

    Ok Cheryl taking a chance is one thing but with Katie, what is wrong with her she has won the show twice now with the public obviously backing her but it’s not gonna happen this year. I hope Katie feels guilty and maybe ashamed of herself, if I was he I would stand down and make room for someone who deserves it.

  42. MnM says:

    I think Simon knows that bad choices have been made and thats why this wild card has come. I beleive if Si was judging the girls Katie nor Cher would have got in as he likes performers to perform well on the night. This is disastrous for Cheryl removing talent over wannabees then again she is not a very good singer herself and its only good looks that made her successful and not her talent. People will get sick of somneone who cannot even rap good when there a ten times more better UK rappers out there im sorry to say. Katie who Katie drama queen go back to your US deal i can’t beleive she is still in even after this was published in the press. As for Nicolo im sorry Danni your just as bad again a pathetic perfromance over talent. This is a bad year for X Factor and I think that everyone should have go through and we the public would have decided who has the X Factor and not he judges. Maybe Simon you can consider that for a furutre show – when the contestants go to the judges houses we the public will decide the top three for the Live show how awesome would that be. Bring back Nicole Z anyday, beautiful and talented and knows talent when she sees it.

  43. Lara says:

    I am so angry for the first time in ages I was amazed to see such a diverse group of hopefuls and so many women of colour in the running. Then Cheryl picks the two worst auditions of all the girls as her final two who could be out sung by any of the other rejected girls and oooh they also happen to be white. I never mention race as a rule but I have to find another reason why cheryl would pick these girls over Gamu and Tracey I can’t understand why she has made such a poor decision.

  44. Robin says:

    What annoys me most is that the decision to pick Cher and Katie had clearly been made before they even got near the
    judge’s house. After investing so much airtime on them through the audition stage Cheryl had probably been told to
    keep them in, thus making the judge’s house auditions a complete waste of time. Surely it occurred to the X Factor
    bosses that this would damage Cheryl’s reputation.

  45. michael says:

    sitting in germany, completly sure with the girls….and then came cheryl! what the hell was that?! trecy and gamu are really great! then i rembered last year and i also didn’t get cheryl then.
    i really like her, but sorry that isn’t the right job for her. make cool videos nice popsongs and look great, but please stop judging….cry baby cry and you got cheryl on your side;-)

  46. michael says:

    forgotten: louis, danny, simon all can make or made mistakes, but two big big big ones, after there was no singing of each of the two girls? just dressed up like old cheryls;-) and the natural talents must go home…..ahhhhhh! please great britain vote them off;-)

  47. michael says:

    and let matt, rebecca or mary win (or maybe the cool older boy-band)!!!

  48. robina says:

    i like cherly but she messed up big time she even said her self that kaite was a drama queen . i think we should have nicole .z back at lest she now talent when she see it ..

  49. Dave Howard says:

    Cheryl Cole what a joke how can you choose those 2 and leave the best singer of all Gamu Nhengu she would have won the Xfactor, Cheryl Cole you need to get your head out of the clouds and open your ears

    what a waste you should not have come back, you should have stayed sick

    I´m really angry over this and Dannii made a mistake whats with the diva Italian and not putting through the blues singer

  50. Helen says:

    I think Cheryl has done the right choices! All the girls are good, and it is not easy to make the choices Cheryl has done! So stop moaning!

  51. Lisa says:

    Why is it only Cheryls choices you all complain about???

    • Kevin - Treyc Fan says:

      Cheryl was the only one who rejected brilliant singers in favour of two singers who broke down and were out of tune.

    • steff says:

      i agree with you,thought simon was pulling all the strings funny how 2 groups of misfits seems to go thru? he only interested in money making.he makes all the decision ! cum on he does all the hiring and firing!

  52. mwansa says:

    Cheryl Cole is such a widow i cant believe she just chose the two girls untalented and didn’t choose gamu. boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i hate Cheryl cole she such racist xxxxxxxxxxxx

  53. Helen says:

    Made the right choices!!! what programme were you watching???? She has messed up big time, she had a shot with this category but now has no chance. It is difficult but not when two girls clearly can’t sing for heavens sake.

    • AnOnYmOUssss says:

      IKR!!!!

      I thought the girls group were SOOO strong this year, I was ACTUALLY looking forward to it! But now, nope. I ACTUALLY SCREAMED AT THE T.V.

      Cher can’t sing she screeches
      and Katie.. pfft dont even let me go there!

      I WAS SOO HOPING TO VOTE FOR GAMU

      I WISH SIMON HAD THE GIRLS AND CHERYL HAD THE GROUPS. Life would be heaven.

      And all the other people were so good and she only chooses the people closest to white.
      HOW RACIST.

      She just feels pity for them. THIS IS SHOW BUSINESS NOT “oh this song is emotional i didn’t sing please let me through”!!!!!!!

  54. Christy says:

    Poor Gamu!! she did everything, but it meant nothing!! Shame on you Cheryl

  55. anon says:

    i wanted gamu to go through! cheryl made a huge mistakes and she will regret it. but i didnt want gamu to win and if gamu does come back ..because of the fuss everybody made i think she will win because everyone will vote for her .

  56. chloe joe mcelderry fan! says:

    katie waisell (i’m not going to bother to spell her name right) muffed up her first audition and then the judges houses too. she wasnt even that good at boot camp. totally agree with her decision to put through rebecca through though. cher doesn’t even sing she just speaks or raps the words she can’t sing and to be “brutally honest” she isn’t even pretty- whats with her eyebrows and sneery expressions when she “performs”
    Fire Cheryl cole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. don says:

    X factor is not about winning alone is about entertainment, she just got rid of the entertainer Gamu, and left the boring ones. whatever

  58. steff says:

    sorry i cant agree with the racist thing after all her pal wil.iam is colored.but i do agree with one comment she made on tv.the word drama queen!came into my head.cheryl is the queen of them all lol.

  59. Zak says:

    TreyC was OUTSTANDING; rumours have it that TreyC is Cheryl’s actual Wildcard vote.
    I hope so! But I’m ashamed of Cheryl for not having both Gamu and TreyC through in the first place.

  60. Lulu says:

    CHERYL COOLE NEEDS TO GO!!!

  61. courtney says:

    I just hope that both Gamu and Treyc get through and Katie goes.

  62. Cruella Devilla says:

    What is going on with x factor this year. Is it the look or the voice that is being judged? Surley looks are cosmetic and can be artistically enhanced, the voice is the emotion. Katie, Madonna look alike failed twice and got through hope she doesn’t let you down on the live shows Cheryl, and the young Cheryl Cole lookalike had tonsilitis which is a shame but without an audition still got through. The voice of the people hope that Gamu will be the wild card. Why add all this pressure to the girls, what hurts will they have to suffer?and why?

  63. Shazza says:

    I understand from various media sources that Gamu wasn’t picked due to fears regarding her VISA. Surely X Factor can verify with the Home Office if it was likely to be an issue before making that decision?? Cheryl – please check and bring Gamu back on Saturday – just because she held herself with dignity and didn’t break down crying doesn’t mean that she isn’t feeling it too!

  64. Paulo says:

    CHERYL Never underestimate the people’s voice

  65. ella says:

    Well done CHERYL.Kate das got something uniq and Cher as well.THEY LOOK GOOD AND SING GOOD AND THEY GOT it,they got SOMETHING…Gamu doesnt look good but sing good ,and sorry but she thinks so she is over everybody else.I dont like it.

  66. GAMU NHENGU'S FANS says:

    What an injustice that Cheryl has not put Gamu through.She is the best of Cheryl’s acts. Wouldn’t it be good if someone else gives her a recording contract in time for it to be released before christmas. it would preventany other of Cheryl’s acts from getting to No 1 in the singles chart. It will serve X factor right for the shame it is. It happened last yer and with all gamus fns could happen again.Go Gamu!

  67. Kenny86 says:

    Ella your comment is complete rubbish, and im sure everyone agrees with me. “They look good and sing good” you must be deaf and blind. That katies makeup is horrible way to much and that cher girl really isnt pretty at all sorry to say shes got a bit of a rat face. And the most important factor is that they cannot sing as well as the others simple as that.

    As well as that the both dont seem mentally stable to cope with the pressure as they often breakdown especially Katie, if you dont think so your just as much as a fool as that silly woman Cheryl Cole probably even bigger.

  68. Rick says:

    When a white woman once married to a coloured man is called a racist we know the world has gone mad.

  69. anonimus says:

    cher should go through she has star quality, not so much katie i do agree with every one that gamu should have gone through not katie, byt its up to cheryl and we should stand by that,but i think cher ahould win, and also i belive that gamu would have got thru but ther mmust have been a good reason like about her VISA, quite sad she didnt get thru, GO CHER LLOYD<<<<CHER TOO WIN I LOVE CHERYL COLEX

  70. Mary says:

    I thought Gamu quite arrogant in her interview, when she assumed she was through at the Judges House. Yes she has the better voice of the three, Kate and Cher, but the Judges House round is whether you have the X factor. And her image is a erm quiet.

  71. I think it is disgusting that she has to fight to stay!
    she has never done any thing to u b4!

  72. I think it is disgusting that gamu nhengu was kicked out becouse of people being racist. y kick someone out becouse people was racist y should she be kicked out as well
