X Factor: T’Pau’s Carol Decker calls Gary Barlow a ‘twat’ after Amelia Lily insult

Carol Decker has hit out at X Factor judge Gary Barlow, after he criticised her singing on tonight’s live ITV show.

The T’Pau singer was at first interested when she heard that Amelia Lily would be performing her hit single ‘China In Your Hand’ on tonight’s quarter final and after the performance tweeted:

Great voice odd backing.

However just minutes later she wasn’t half as happy. When critiquing Amelia’s rendition, Gary Barlow told the 17 year old contestant:

Last weekend you were in the bottom two and you’ve come back with a performance like that tonight. Congratulations and well done.

I remember the original of this song and it was nice to hear it sang in tune for once!

Kelly Rowland added that she had never even heard of the song when Amelia first mentioned it to her.

Carol took to her Twitter page straight away and hit back saying:

Gary Barlow you twat! & I had to suffer a Take That concert for the sake of my kids this summer

She added:

@GBarlowOfficial what’s your f*cking problem ? I actually have perfect pitch

We can’t wait to hear what comes next. Watch a video of Gary’s comments and Amelia’s performance here and tell us, do you think he had a point?

    Your right Gary and shes got a very rude attitude , horrible women

  2. Chubby says:

    you have to feel sorry for Gary, hes being paid a shed load of money to make sure no-one goes out and downloads the excellent original rather than the X factor version.
    Sad really, I’ve no respect for a one-way trick like that, he should be ashamed of himself.

  3. Ginger Tom says:

    would you say her response comes from a decent human

  4. Ginger Tom says:

    i hope she educates her kids to talk with a better tongue

  5. maggie glasgow says:

    had this discussion with my daughter after amelia sang not a patch on carol decker in fact i wish she was on it to sing it the way it should have been sung.

  6. Gav Harrison says:

    Gary Barlow is a moron,t’paus version is miles better there was no passion with amelias version

  7. Ginger Tom says:

    I think this singer of T’PAU have no sense of humour like Sinead O’Connor. China in your hand and Nothings compare to you, was just one hit wonder. And they have to be grateful for that, atleast for a minute they were known then. But anything else…they have nothing to prove that they’re really quality singers. Shut up!

    • Sara says:

      “One-hit wonder”… Sinead O’Connor? That woman has had a career spanning almost 30 years with many hit singles & albums. Talking out of your ginger, soul-less arse there mate.

  8. Gee says:

    ha.ha.ha…that old woman should be thankful that her one & only hit wonder should be sung even from a contestant in a song competetion. That was atleast a good promo for her and her Band to hear their song who’s already forgotten. One hit wonder for a minute being known again. So,Carol…congratulation, you’re in talk again!

  9. RB says:

    Oh dear! She didn’t do herself any favours in this argument going straight for the obscenities and insulting the most successful boyband of all time.

    Gary wins.

    It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
    Since u took your love away
    I go out every night and sleep all day
    Since you took your love away
    Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
    I can see whomever I choose
    I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
    But nothings
    I said nothings can take away these blues

    ‘Cause Nothings compare
    Nothings compare to you

    All the flowers that you planted, mama
    In the back yard
    All died when you went away
    I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
    But I’m willing to give it another try

    Nothings compare
    Nothings compare to you
    Nothings compare
    Nothings compare to you
    Nothings compare
    Nothings compare to you

    Ginger Tom you twat!

  12. nigel orchard says:

    WELL GOOD ON YOU CAROL GARY IS THE BIGGEST DICK ON X FACTOR !!AND SO FAR UP HIS OWN ARSE!!HE WRECKED THAT POOR CRAIG LAST WEEK WITH THAT SONG!!WHAT A MUPPET!!

  13. Neil says:

    Come on people (dare I say grown ups), you’re criticising Carols language and her looks ?! Yes, her words weren’t too nice on twitter but some of yours aren’t any better than those found in a school playground, and are nothing short of plain rude. I guess it’s true that forums give low life’s an excuse to be nasty without being confronted. Perhaps some of you could have remembered that the subject was about her is singing, which was far better than that of Amelie.

  14. ginger tom says:

    pissed up old bitter cougar who would sing at birthday s now for a few grand a time nice

    And yes everything about Amelie is better than the ginger beast

    To put the facts straight T,Pau were not one hit wonders , they had a very successful first album and tour with a number hit singles followed by a second album and tour which was not so successful but still paid the bills I guess!
    Gary Barlow slated Amelia over the last two Xfactor shows for singing with too high a pitch. This is correct , Amelia’s voice runs out of steam on the higher notes and it begins to sound like shouting rather than singing. So gary’s comment about Carol Decker singing out of tune seems a little odd . I suspect That gary was trying not to be too damning to the 17 year old rather than having an out of the blue go at an old band frontswoman. He didnt think it through . Neither did Carol with her understandable but unfortunate repost.
    Ginger Tom , you need to take off your rose tinted spectacles ! Amelia’s voice is fine on the lower stuff but cannot sustain high notes and sounds shallow when pushed .
    Age comes to everyone, you included so have some respect !

  16. miff says:

    gary RIGHT out of order ! no need to get personal & slate carol , who in my opinion sang perfect , i saw her at bridlington spa , & boy what a show it was pitch perfect, ok she had her day but, for one would rather listen to original any day . i suspect gary & humble pie tonight mate :) carol you the best , i still have your signed cd xxx dont let the t–t upset you .xxx

  17. Eddie Woodward says:

    Carol’s original version was far better and intune even though in them days she did not use autotune. Gary must of been in nappies when this came out so what does he know?

  18. billy says:

    stop watching x factor .. it’s sh*te

  19. ginger tom says:

    Obviously most are fans on here and prob family of the old trout, shes nasty, horrible to look at and has a foul mouth, the bit about having a go about Garys weight, if that were said in most cases it would be an outrage, so because she had a number 1 before black and white tv came on the scene lol she can say and do what she wants, i hope all the take that fans flood her site with nice comments, last word on the matter go and crawl under your ginger rock you horrible women

  20. beni says:

    smart ass gary barlow..hope he can take the criticism in 20 years time, we all age. why go out of his way to insult someone for a classic original song ? tbh some of the take that songs are really crap. carol had more than one great song she had heart and soul too. barlow should be glad he was given a 2nd chance by the gullible public !!

    • beni says:

      And lets be honest, Barlow did attempt a single career after the first take that break up ans he was a complete flop..

  21. Col91 says:

    The lead singer of a hasbeen boyband criticizing Carol Decker?? Haha! Chine In Your Hand is still a classic after 25 years, who will remember Amelia or whatever she is called in 6 months time?

    I quite agree with Beni, Barlow should be grateful for his second chance. He thinks he is some sort of self-proclaimed musical messiah despite the fact the fact everything Take That have ever done “has been” a shower of shite. Even if Carol is only remembered for that one song, it is still ten times better than anything accomplished by Barlow and his X Factor pet.I imagine the people defending Gary Barlow are a bunch of bitter old women who cannot handle anything ill against their idol being said…. Sad
