He didn't have a sob story to go with his act and was too real to fit the format.

[@pineyLt]

Marcin Teczar You called it. We’ve seen more than a few that get a pass on marginal talent because someone close to them has cancer or was in the service. Oh our hearts go out to those people but this is a show about talent, period. We can feel bad for you but if you suck, we’ll you suck . They all admitted two things here, he’s got talent and they, the judges are fragile easily offended snowflakes. Seems like their lack of personal confidence got the better of them. He should have been approved to go on.

[@ploopybear]

@@pineyLt yes

[@lbb101]

@@pineyLt actually the judges are right. Music-industry has no place for talented kids doing their thing, they want moldable artists, that perform on songs written by some producers, played by great studio musicians, always and adapting to the zeitgeist. Kids like him have only one chance: Independent labels & bookers working their butts off. Becoming an underground sensation. Suddenly haven ten thousands of music fans at Glastonbury cheer them. Then suddenly being picked up by majors - as if they invented them. Hell, if streetsmart kiddos like the Beatles or the Stones or Cash or Elvis or the Sex Pistols or Townes Van Zandt or Elmore James or John Lee Hooker or Chuck Berry would have been judged like that. They would have needed to say "No!". And that pretty much describes, why 95% of pop music turned boring shit.

This guy tries to have a little fun with his audience; he turns out to be literally one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen on one of these shows, and because the judges didn't like his humour and they had too much of an ego, they didn't let him through. Listen to the audience reaction. That says all that needs to be said about the judges' shocking abuse of power and their complete narcissism.

and also they are realists and look for a performer that could be very successful and bring profits, a thing you cannot understand being romantic, immature and an idealist, so stfu and let them choose a portable ATM, because that's what they whether you and I like it or not! also, he was kinda arrogant and all in all, not impressive, so im gonna agree up to a big extent with the judges.

[@TomRNZ]

lotyloty2 This is what I hate about the music industry today. It's not about talent and being an artist anymore. John Lennon was an arrogant fuck, and so is Paul McCartney to an extent. And what was that band they were in again? Oh, that's right. The Beatles. The biggest selling musical artists of all time. Owen Campbell is a brilliant musician and a passionate artist.

And I’m not saying this to be an arse. But the judges did have a point... And I have tried it myself... First time I began I was being a prick. My contacts didn’t like my behavior and I got zero jobs. Then I changed attitude and now I’m living from my hoppy... No ones likes a smart ass in the long run... And people may say yeah well he got talent and the people he entertains are the important ones. Sure but people forget the ones who makes this happen. From managers, publishers. Crew. Rodeos. Studios. Etc etc. They are the ones who have to deal with the bull shit and attitude before and after the show... let’s say I have the best product in the world and costumers loves me. But what good is it if I’m being an asshole to the ones who makes my products. Eventually they are gonna say ENOUGH! And how am I going to sell if the ones I work with hates me because I’m a smart ass, and they suddenly quit? If he becomes a huge star that means he is the boss. But then he will have a lot of people working for him. But who do you think they wanna work with. A nice and friendly boss or some ass who shouts them down the neck and gives them a hard time and unreasonable demands all the time... Think about it... If you have such a great talent and gift such as this young man then how about being a bit more humble and greatful for that. Leave the smart ass attitude at home. If people disagree then they most likely never been in show business... And yes I am aware of big stars who behave like dicks who are filthy rich. They are out there yes. But how many people do you not think who hates them. There are plenty. But normal people and fans never hear about that... When I do gigs and have to work with big stars, then trust me. I know who I like and enjoy working with. And I know who I hate and wanna puke when I hear their names... Be humble and polite and thankful for the gift you may have. And trust me the doors will open much more easily... And yes he was not saying the worst things I have heard. But I have worked with many people like him. First they are very smart and joking and all. But then suddenly they explode. WHERE IS MY TOWEL, WHERE IS MY WATER, WHERE IS, WHERE IS. And suddenly they become very annoying working with. If you are working with someone then everyone should have a nice time. Not just the performer... I did feel sorry for him cause I think he is super good. Let’s hope he will think about that the next time.

I come back to this video every once in a long while, and the attitude of the judges still gets under my skin. He was very clearly teasing them in order to get good laugh from the audience, which of course damaged their little fragile egos. Yes, the guy was really cocky, but when your that good at what you do, you absolutely earned that cockiness. And if they thought what he said was insulting, they would probably cry like babies if it were Frank Zappa on stage, because he would absolutely make fun of them for their superficial personalities and thin skin, egotistical attitudes. But anyway, as many commenters pointed out, if Simon were here, he would’ve absolutely given this guy a yes. And I think the line, “Well my aim isn’t to be in a boy band chief” perfectly sums up why they didn’t pick him. Hopefully this guy found success elsewhere, because he got done dirty here by these snowflakes.

[@squodge]

No way. I've performed in front of people before (and I have maybe 1% of Owen's talent), and you're always nervous. And you can't seriously believe that this is his first time playing in front of people when he busks in public? It's quite simple really. He became an excellent musician and singer, and got cocky about it. Occam's Razor.

[@kristianpopec5652]

Jason Yip mate he didnt say that he would ignore the people, but the judges. He is used to random people claping and cheering but not to judges actually pressuring and deciding on him. Their decision was depending on if he is going to pass or not. He never performed in front of actual judges so id say the idea of calming himself from the judges can be very so true

[@squodge]

@Kristian, I get that point - but why actually say it to the judges? He could have just said it in his head, rather than out loud. If I were a judge, I'd be a bit miffed if a contestant (cos that's what he is) came on a show to be judged and then proclaim that "I'll pretend the judges aren't there". Even when he busked in public, he's still being judged by the public, whether he likes it or not. So being on a show is seriously no different. I'm not denying his talent or skill - he's got that in abundance. It's plain and simple that he's arrogant. And there's nothing wrong with being arrogant if you've got the skill or talent to back it up (which he has) - but don't cry about it when you upset people for being arrogant. Anyway, he got through on his second attempt, so not like it was a big deal!

Luke Towner wrote: Isn't the show called "got talent" not "got a good attitude" Me: And during the ACT, isn't the audience supposed to concentrate on the ACT, rather than the JUDGES? If the answer to that question is yes, then what was the problem with Owen saying, "We'll pretend the judges aren't there for a little while and I'll just entertain you lovely folks?" It's only AFTER the artist has finished their act that the focus should fall on the judges and their critique. It's a shame that their critique ended up focusing more on them being quite rightfully sidelined for 2 minutes instead of the act because they were so far up their own arses. If anyone needed to apologise, it was the JUDGES, but even when Owen came back for a second chance, they were STILL acting all butt hurt because someone had the sheer audacity to suggest that the focus shouldn't be on THEM for 2 whole minutes. I don't know how Owen managed to suck that up, probably because deep down, he's a really humble guy, unlike the "precious" judges. If it was me up there, I'd have been sorely tempted to jump off the stage and knock Brian McFadden spark out. If Owen had done that, he'd be even more liked and his talent, that ALL the judges lack, would still have ensured that he had a good career once he'd served his 3 months or whatever in prison. I was a little bit disappointed that he didn't stick it to them by winning the whole show, but to be fair, like there are certain years that are good for producing great wine, 2012 was an excellent year for that show with the amount of exceedingly good raw talent on stage. My 2 cents.

[@merccc1]

Simple joking indeed, snobs got uptight misunderstanding the light hearted jokes. He stayed calm, apologized when he was not at fault, performed well, and made simple jokes that sadly, the judges ego's prevented them to understand...

He did nothing wrong and was only joking around. The fact a judge has a go at him for trying to impress the fans is beyond me and as others have commented on there are 50% of big name pop stars and artists which have the worst personalities of anyone on this earth. And the way he is judged for not making it by 28 is outrageous!
