They lowered the age because they brought in the extra age group. They did that last year so it'd surprise me if it was raised again.
i think they raised it because they relised that 14 was to young
seeing most of the 14 year old boys balls had'nt dropped yet lmao
but ya the advert did say 16+
it did say 16+. i heard it too
Yep, 16+
I think thats right, I went with a mate this year and they said to him "you are too young" what a waste of a day.
(There's 4 auditions BEFORE the real judges)
It does make sense though because no 14 year-old is ever going to win it.
Its saving the kids the embarrassment
it said 18+ since all the winners are actually 18+
I thought the same thing
It was 14 last year, but they raised to 16 this year because they realised that 14 was wayyy too young lol xD!
doesnt effect me
im gona be a mega star next yr
watch dis space x
Under 16 is no point really.
I think minimum should be 18 but meh.
16+ should be the limit. (groups; overs, boys, girls, groups.) ye? dont effect how many categorys their is.
i am so goin to apply and i can be like your wee man and like make norn iron proud!!!!!1
no didnt think so
its evil
u audition before judges in front of the directors, and they put good n bad ones through.
so the crap ones think they'ee gonna win it

The fifth audition is the first audition in front of the judges.
And think how demoralising it is to the ones who are sort of good when they see the absolute awful people go through to the judges. Its evil.
Also all the pictures you see in the arenas full of thousands of people is the very first audition. They make it look like they all see the judges, but anyone with a brain could work that out.
it's kind of obvious they dont all go to judges, i mean
100,000+ auditions
200,000 minutes of the judges time
thats like 4 months+
they're not gonna work 24/7
so if they worked 8 hours a day, no breaks, no days off, they could get all auditions done in a year...
8-]
i got bored.
