Kylie did the right thing not choosing Femi

All of her 7 were fab last night. (all of Toms were fab too!!). Was a good show
I think Kylie did right not putting Femi through and here are the reasons why.
1) Femi was never originally a team Kylie player - ok she stole him and that's one point of the show, but in one respect quite right that she put all of her own team members through
2) Will got rid of Femi - if he was that amazing he wouldn't have done so. Not only that he did say that he had someone like Femi on his team already.
3) If Kylie put Femi through and Will put his Femi esque person through (sorry forgot his name), then in the last 12 we would have two acts nearly identical too each other and would be a bit boring. Both of their votes would have been split.
What Kylie has done is choose three different diverse acts. I think the final 12 will be totally different from each other. Looking forward to tonight!!

Do you mean Tom btw? Who put Bizzi through? The votes wouldn't have been split because they would be competing on the same teams until the final.
But simply put Femi wasn't unique enough or good enough to warrant a place in the Top 12. It's that simple. And yeah Will is the indie/urban coach - he would have kept Femi if he thought Femi was good enough. He stole Nomakhosi too and at least Nomakhosi has a touch of something different about her.
I think he was talking about Jermaine on Will's team who sang "A House Is Not A Home"
I agree. I didn't get her decision to not put either of them through
I think Femi is vastly superios to Jermaine and can't really see how they are alike in any way
I thought Jermaine picked a better song for the knockouts. They are both old school soul singers who could have been around in the Tamla Motown era. That's the similarity though I never noticed Jermaine in the blind auditions. I preferred Femi myself.
I can see your point in regards that Femi was never 'Team Kylie', so she has more loyalty to her original acts.
But then you lose it when you say she has three different diverse acts. Lee and Jamie are going to do exactly what you said Femi would do - split the votes. (That's if we're deeming both of them rock vocalists in the same vein that Femi and Jermain are both soul singers)
Lee and James look alike, I do think their voices are different, but in terms of suitable material I agree, I would not put them too far apart. Femi or Leo would have retained a soulful dimension to Kylie's team which has now gone. Maybe not a problem for anyone not a fan of that genre though, I don't suppose.
Also he made me smile...
Sorry Kylie, I thought you got it wrong
But having said that, out of the 2 guys Kylie had left to choose from after discarding Femi and Leo, she has no hope of finding a winner (or even a finalist).
They are nice enough guys, but they are not particularly fresh/unique. Either of them would quickly disappear into the midsts of thousands of male XFactor hopefuls.
She should have kept Femi IMHO. At least she would have had an almost guaranteed male semi-finalist.
However, I'm also thinking she may have decided he would split the popular vote and jeopardize Rachael. But as we now know that the judges can give a free pass in finals stage one, that shouldn't have been such a problem.
And the Northern Ireland vote would have saved Rachael anyway.
