I don't watch this show much & haven't seen it in years, I don't know if the judges are bullies for that reason but I think it's messed up how the upset & anger from bad singers is broadcasted to the world so they can get laughed at while famous artists get death threats online or wherever, it's pretty obvious it's no joke, I've heard the excuse of "oh but one of the is enjoying his fame even though he was laughed at publicly by the x factor", it doesn't mean it isn't dangerous & that comment was from a stranger so may not be true, I don't wanna blame the judges because bad singers like that are in serious need of honest criticism & in many cases therapy, their mental health seems bad I think, this show seems to not care about them, their wellbeing or their mental health so it makes a sick joke out of their trauma & people laugh, another thing that makes me sick is bad singers coming back to the show & getting disappointed again, in my opinion the music industry despite probably often being a huge buzz for great artists is one of the sickest most cut throat industries in the world & it's not funny but some people are literally sadistic & cruel despite acting nice & unfortunately lower themselves down to the level of laughing at these bad singers & calling them nasty names, I think they're often people who just couldn't care any less about total strangers such as people who are cold, hungry & homeless, I reckon they just think if someone they don't know did anything silly to mugged & beaten or something like walking through the wrong street alone at midnight or whatever it's their own fault & they deserve no sympathy, I personally think that's mean because some people are just careless.
