It's mad how Max auditioned for X Factor twice and failed twice, and then became an international pop star as a member of the wanted, just goes to show how you should never give up
That’s what happened to Jade from Little Mix too. She auditioned twice by herself and then her third time she was put into Little Mix. Both of their stories are inspiring :)
@@valiw5118Liam Payne auditioned in 2008 but failed to make it to the live shows. He failed to make it to the judges' houses in 2010 but was formed by the judges to be in One Direction and made it to third place overall that year, but became the most successful boy band internationally.
@@JES96 Yep! I forgot about that. It’s crazy how some people came back and had such success stories. If I were competing I’d probably not even try a second time. Another contestant that returned was Ottavio Columbro. For some reason it bothers me that it was never mentioned that he returned, like he did Bootcamp with Rylan Clark and some other guy in Season 9 and not even Nicole said she remembered him or anything. I was just a bit surprised. He definitely changed a lot, which kind of leads me more to believe that Bratavio was partially a joke (Season 13). Also, another contestant whose case bothers me is Melanie McCabe. She auditioned four times, made it to Judges’ Houses once or twice, and never made it to the live shows. And I think her first time was the time she got the farthest in the competition. She wasn’t the best contestant but I wish they at least gave her a shot, especially towards the end when she said she was losing her home and stuff, and I just think that her dedication to the show was really admirable. Wow, I didn’t know I still knew all this stuff, I haven’t watched this show in like two years 😅 I used to be obsessed!
Max is just such a good, honest, hard working person. You could see it from the beginning of the whole deal, that he was not comfortable and he was the first one to admit they were wrong and shook Louis' hand and all. That says a lot about him.
Whoever said that nice guys finish last just needs to look at Max George. He was the most dignified and genuinely upset out of all of them. You can tell he never meant to lie, he just wanted to be able to do what he loved. And now he's got worldwide success because he worked hard. Those other guys are nowhere. Max is lovely and deserves everything he gets in the Wanted.
I actually remember crying when I watched this on X Factor. I was a proper fangirl for Avenue. Now it's Max and Lawson. I remember seeing Max in my cousins vid of them on her school tour. I was like 'OMG!' *Run around the room* *UA-cam avenue to check* *cry some more because it's just too real* then send my cuzin the link. Now's TW's famous. And hey, Max and Andy kept in contact now look at Andy and Lawson! Getting big!!! :) xx
1:46 Anybody else notice that Max is the only one who shakes Louis' hand at the end..... just goes to show that Max is much better than all the other four combined. He took the choice like man..... or as someonewho is gonna be a future member of THE WANTED would!
Im glade Max stood up for the show. he knew what they did wasn't right and he looked like there was something wrong in the first interview. He's a really good person
max looked devestated and louis made the right choice cause now he's fitter ,can sing more and is the best band ever created (the wanted ) that was adorable
You Can't Enter X Factor If You Already Have A Record Deal With Someone Else, Its Not Fair On The Others Who Don't Have A Record Deal Wanting To Fulfill Their Dreams
On shows like The X Factor the people who audition are not allowed to have any contracts with anyone else, Avenue said that they were free of anything like that but Louis found out that they had been put together and signed a deal with someone already. Therefore, they had broken the rules. Hope that helps :)
erm jamie left the band and he got replaced by andy brown,they released a single in september called last goodbye and they toured with mcfly in november but sadly yesterday they annouced that they were breaking up.
Well all that doesn't matter anymore, as Avenue are now signed up with Universal. Since 2006 though one band member left, and was replaced by a guy seen performing on UA-cam. And their current song is on Chris Evans BBC Radio 2 playlist.
It broke my heart when Max started crying. It made me cry as well it was partial though. I cried sad but happy tears at the same time if this hadn't happened The Wanted wouldn't of happened either. Maybe it would have but without Max and that wouldn't be the same.
Awww, it broke my heart when Max is crying, but it's over now and I'm glad it is because if it hadn't been, he'd probably never be in TW, and I know I wouldn't be complete without him and the other boys :(*emotional* lol
0:20 you can see it in his eyes, he wants to come clean but the asshole who is talking, who is the one that resisted later in the video, tries to cover it up
@Tylerrr97 Well, the point of x-factor is to find a singer/group that has never got the chance to be in the music business and Avenue signed a contract with somebody few years before the show so they couldn't even audition for the show and that's why they were eliminated. That's what I think
aww poor max he looks so upset :( he was very mature about the whole thing and took responsibility for it and didn't hold it against them, i'm proud of him. i was so upset when i saw this on tv coz i really liked them but it's better in the long run coz now max is in the wanted and they are better :)
It probably wasn't up to Max to not tell The X Factor about their management deal. Am so glad it has worked out for him, just goes to show that a little "infamousy" may not be so bad.
@Antonia878787 the rule is that in order to be in this competition is that you cant be a professional/have a record contract previously and these guys before....lied about just being amateurs when in all actuality they were signed to a record contract by their manager who previously had been part of the X Factor show.
Bless Max- 'we broke the rules its not X Factors fault!' And even though this happened, look how far they got anyway! Annnnnd we wouldn't have had The Wanted or Lawson if this hadn't of happened. Max is so lovely in real life aswell!
no they shouldn't of 'left them'! I get that they were told to lie but by doing it they stopped a lot of other worthy competitors from getting in. who cares if Max was the most emotional ? they shouldn't of lied. they should've refused to lie and quit the label THEN and only then should they of entered. at least then they wouldn't of been already signed to a label and ruining other people's chances of getting a break in life!
I like the wanted&one direction.... & respect them both as bands... Both bands worked hard to get where they are now... Doesn't even matter who worked harder... So stupid for fighting over something irrelevant ...
they lied to louis when they said they'd been together for 5 months and told him that they were just mates where they are professionals. if you've had a record deal recently you can't enter the show!
Kandy Dewey Agree completely. :3 Why feel sorry for Max when he and the rest not only went against the rules (probably signing a lot of legal documents through the process!) but lied in the face of everyone? Louis on the other hand gave chance to these guys and believed in them (when in fact Simon didn't during their audition). He broke the hearts of others in the process when he chose these guys for the live shows. :S
As messed up as it sounds, i'm so glad they were kicked out. Because if it wasn't for that, max wouldn't be in the wanted and that's the best thing that's ever happened!
he couldnt have JUST found out about it, if it was in the papers he either found out when it got leaked to the papers or found out when he saw the headlines.
Depends what order the bits were filmed in. Louis receiving the phonecall could easily have been a few days before the rest of it was filmed, for instance.
Niiice - almost let the cat out of the bag at the end there - 'We were told to keep our mouths shut'. By whom? By the producers of the X Factor of course.
Louis was backstabbed. That pisses me off because he was giving these guys a real shot. Good he had hat sort of integrity

Did anyone else just want to give Louie a huge hug?
yeah
Lindsey Wright yes
He looked so hurt
Errr no
Absolutely.
It's great that Max finally gets his dream of performing on The X Factor 4 years after this happened.
It broke my heart when Max started crying. I actually teared up.
Max was so humble about it too....
Well now Max is in TW and their one of The biggest boybands in The world so, it all worked out in The end :)
7 years ago people were livid
7 years on and disqualifying Avenue was the best thing Louis Walsh ever did
I am reading this 7 years after you posted it.
@@CodeWithYubraj lmaooo
The thing is, they didn’t have to televise this, they could have just said “they have been removed from the competition”
they wanted the publicity. they got it to start---and they got it to finish. beggars can't be choosers
Max in my eyes is an inspiration to anyone who has a dream & really wants it bad, never give up & your eventual success will always find a way
*laughs in 2021 where this has happened for years in SYCO "talent" competitions*
Oh my god max is from the wanted
Thought I recognised his face from somewhere.
I actually remember crying when I watched this on X Factor. I was a proper fangirl for Avenue. Now it's Max and Lawson. I remember seeing Max in my cousins vid of them on her school tour.

Whew, good thing Max is in TW and look where he is now! Broke my heart when Max cried
Seeing Max cry in this, actually breaks my heart.
😂😂
Soo hard not to sit and cry when max does
Bless Louis I was well gutted for him when he found out out about Avenue
Im glade Max stood up for the show. he knew what they did wasn't right and he looked like there was something wrong in the first interview. He's a really good person
max looked devestated and louis made the right choice cause now he's fitter ,can sing more and is the best band ever created (the wanted ) that was adorable
I LOVE YOU MAX!! love how he says its not x-factors fault well at least he is in the WANTED now xxx
You Can't Enter X Factor If You Already Have A Record Deal With Someone Else, Its Not Fair On The Others Who Don't Have A Record Deal Wanting To Fulfill Their Dreams
The same happened with Megan McKenna, I was surprised when they didn't do anything about it
@@Coolharry64 Megan McKenna which series & episode would that be?
@@davidfearis7335 X Factor Celebrity, it never happed, but she did have a record contract beforehand, meaning that the winner was quite unfair
Also applies to pop idol ( and its international adaptions)
this was actually a good thing, Max is now in one of the biggest boy bands in the world and Andy is in a pretty big boyband now
On shows like The X Factor the people who audition are not allowed to have any contracts with anyone else, Avenue said that they were free of anything like that but Louis found out that they had been put together and signed a deal with someone already. Therefore, they had broken the rules. Hope that helps :)
If they were already signed up with another management and had a contract, why audition for X Factor?
I think the manager they signed with was hoping to use the x factor to gain publicity for himself.
Publicity
COVID can’t kill me because I died the day the Xfactor kicked off Avenue.
OH PLeeeeeeze !!!
Just cried seeing Max cry, he is such a sweetheart.
erm jamie left the band and he got replaced by andy brown,they released a single in september called last goodbye and they toured with mcfly in november but sadly yesterday they annouced that they were breaking up.
we love you MAX! don't cry.. you're making me cry :'( xxxxxxxx
As much as seeing Max cry hurts me. I felt a bit of joy when they got disqualified. My baby is now in The Wanted
What Max didn't know was that soon he'd be in one of the biggest boy bands around:') So proud of him, and all of the Wanted!
look where max is now! i love both 1D and the wanted idc who dissed who, i luv em both
saw and met them the other day. legends and such nice people.
THANK YOU LOUIS! IF U HADN'T DISQUALIFIED AVENUE THEN THE WANTED WOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED! THANK U FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
If you notice Max is the only one who cried! He care about it..
It was Jamie Tinkler who got them disqualified. We was member of the group Pop! between 200-2005 signed to Pete Waterman.
Well all that doesn't matter anymore, as Avenue are now signed up with Universal. Since 2006 though one band member left, and was replaced by a guy seen performing on UA-cam. And their current song is on Chris Evans BBC Radio 2 playlist.

The Wanted wrote a song called 'Lie to me'..
ah Max..
you broke my heart there, dont cry like that again :'(
even though max was crying he was the most mature and professional one by shaking louis walsh's hand and saying its not X factors fault
groups like this are forgotten quicker than a very quick wash.
kudos to you! well said that was spot on!
aww poor max he looks so upset :( he was very mature about the whole thing and took responsibility for it and didn't hold it against them, i'm proud of him. i was so upset when i saw this on tv coz i really liked them but it's better in the long run coz now max is in the wanted and they are better :)
@RadioInsations i agree. shows what a gentleman he is :) even when he's upset, he's still respectful. oh maaaax
And three years later Max George is one of the biggest boy bands today
It probably wasn't up to Max to not tell The X Factor about their management deal.
Am so glad it has worked out for him, just goes to show that a little "infamousy" may not be so bad.
My singing teacher is now Scott from the avenue who has now formed a band named the reason
OMG I remeber this
Oh Max :'( (Now in TheWanted) i just want to give him a big hug when he's crying xxxx
The managment who used to sign with the winners set them up apparently. They weren't with them then for some reason, I think it was said on x factor.
Max was crying and i started crying with him :( I never saw him like that before
reemer are amazing, they're amazing people and amazing musicians :(
still
she did HAVE a contract
but hey shes big now :3
and i love her music (Y)
I like louis walsh but he told the band avenue that they have been disqualified from the competition they were gutted and I think they deserve it
You would have TheWanted there were 6000 applicants he could have been easily replaced.
I knew he was angry especially how he said “you lied to me”
Max is now in a new band called The Wanted - their vid is on here. It's called All Time Low.
Attempting to believe that this wasn't just a publicity stunt...... failed.
omgosh max crying, he is soo cute but im glad that happened cause he wouldnt be in the wanted now
awww i jut want to give him a hug
How Understanding Was Max ... :'(
I'm glad this happend, otherwise he wouldn't be in The Wanted, It's seriously like a gift.. They get disqualified, but Max gets even something better.
poor max :( i can't bare to watch him cry xx
I guess Avenue *puts on sunglasses* hit a dead-end.
Awwww Max :'( you never know what the future holds! (=
omg when max was crying i was like aww and my eyes were getting teary i met the wanted on friday omg they are amazing i love max :D
@Antonia878787 the rule is that in order to be in this competition is that you cant be a professional/have a record contract previously and these guys before....lied about just being amateurs when in all actuality they were signed to a record contract by their manager who previously had been part of the X Factor show.

@Amiilev Yep, very glad to be part of the 'TWfanmily !!! :)
After they were disqualified Jamie left and Andy brown joined then :) so Andy wasn't part of the band when they were disqualified
so sad they should have left them
max was the most emotinal one
no they shouldn't of 'left them'! I get that they were told to lie but by doing it they stopped a lot of other worthy competitors from getting in. who cares if Max was the most emotional ? they shouldn't of lied. they should've refused to lie and quit the label THEN and only then should they of entered. at least then they wouldn't of been already signed to a label and ruining other people's chances of getting a break in life!
oh maxy:(
i just wanna give him a hug...
its good thing that happened anyways.....
I like the wanted&one direction.... & respect them both as bands... Both bands worked hard to get where they are now... Doesn't even matter who worked harder... So stupid for fighting over something irrelevant ...
it mademe so sad to see max cry
MAX ITS OKAY YOU ARE PART OF THE WANTED
happy they didnt get through otherwise there would be no Lawson or The Wanted
they lied to louis when they said they'd been together for 5 months and told him that they were just mates where they are professionals. if you've had a record deal recently you can't enter the show!
Max wasnt the only one to shake louis hand..... 1:48 One of the others shakes his hand aswell........ Yeahh.........
Poor max? What about Louis?

Atleast Max knew what they did was wrong and chose to take some responsibility, instead of acting like a victim. Have respect for him :)
Never seen him cry! Aw
As messed up as it sounds, i'm so glad they were kicked out. Because if it wasn't for that, max wouldn't be in the wanted and that's the best thing that's ever happened!
That’s why you shouldn’t lie about anything

Max was the sensible one, glad he's part of The Wanted now =)
Max is the only one that seemed to know they were doing wrong kinda glad they dident get it or he wouldent be in The Wanted
Can you imagine if they never got disqualified? We might not have TheWANTED that we know and love.
Am I the only One Who cried at saw Max's reaction?:'(
I LOVE YOU LOUIS! Thanks.
Omg i jus seen Max cry and it killed me!! :'((( max we love youu!! :)
max is right, it wasn't x factors fault
