Controversial Elimination On X Factor Malta As Cel And Sacco Wave Goodbye
This evening there was a controversial elimination on X Factor Malta as the band Cel & Sacco was expelled from the competition in the last hurdle.
Cel & Sacco, a band composed by X Factor contestant Celine Agius and guitarist Glenn Sacco, was the penultimate act of the Six Chair Challenge.
Their surrender of Moby’s ‘Natural Blues’ saw Judge Philippa Naudi give them a seat, but they would not keep it for long.
Singing brothers Ceci and Kriss were close to each other and their innovative take on Elton John’s famous Rocket Man would always earn them a seat.
Philippa kept the audience on their feet, calling Cel & Sacco straight back on stage for a dash-off between Daryl and Dayle. And after hearing the two acts again, the judge decided to take her chances with Daryl and Dayle, a group that was formed in the bootcamp.
Her decision was controversial, with several people taking to social media to warn Philippa she had made a big mistake by eliminating Cel & Sacco.
However, few people defended her decision, with one woman arguing that Celine already had a chance at an earlier edition of X Factor and that keeping Daryl and Dayle was the right thing to do.
In addition to Ceci and Kriss and Daryl and Dayle, the other four groups that will qualify are BEYOND, Jasmine, Anna and Jana, Wish Me Lack, and Soul Tide.
Do you agree with Philippa’s decision?
