A lot of the other strong contestants have them, and this girl is seriously good 
She needs more airtime though 
She needs more airtime though She's through to the Top 24, excellent!!!!

Basically, just look at the above comment
It doesnt hurt her that she's absolutely gorgeous either. Even if she starts to suck at some point, she could just do a Hayley Scanato and get her legs out.
I actually think she could end up becoming a female Kris Allen - they have the same acousticy style, and everyone loves an underdog.
Oh and also, I like Didi too.
I think she'll survive this though. She's been shown enough to gather a following, and a lot of the girls were bad - she certainly wasnt the worst.
On the plus side, I think Lacey and Ashley seriously damaged their top 12 chance this week, and I considered them two of Janell's biggest competitors for a place there. The problem is, Lilly, Katelyn, SIobhan, and Michelle all overtook her this week, and I think Lilly would have to really mess up to miss out - theres always one quirky, slightly odd girl there, and that could be Lilly.
So did she get the FEWEST votes in 12th place ? Or are they announcing both in no paticular order ?
I wonder if Simon's comments of "...but I think your gonna be okay, I really do" made people think she was safe.
She took it quite well though (I thought), as it must have been a slight suprise to her as well.
Actually your right, I think Simon's comment may have hurt her. Plus his comment to Paige "I think your the best singer here" - because I think Paige was most likely to have been in 10th place this week.
Voting is free in the USA. I think this distorts the results. When a contestant cocks up or gets a hammering from the judges their supporters sit all night on redial giving them hundreds of votes each. They have fewer fans but receive millions of votes.
Whereas when a contestant is told 'you'll be safe' they just get the usual couple of votes from each voter and can end up going.
I think that's what happened here.
She wasn't allowed to judging by her comment at the end that she would have liked to have played her guitar.
I also agree Simon's comments about being safe don't help, he did it to Aaron also. History tells us no way are people on early guaranteed safe. He also did it to Eoghan in the X Factor final...
Disappointing as there aren't many contestants I like to begin with, I suspect the producers are rooting for Didi.
Janell acknowledged in hindsight it was a risky strategy, but at the time she had seen it as playing it safe and focussing on her voice and nerrves. She had planned on bringing the guitar out if she had got through to next week or the week after when she was a bit more comfortable on stage.
On the plus side, she seems fine with her early elimination and exit. She seems very mature about the whole thing unlike Ashley who comes accross as very bitter and bitchy about going out first. I think Janell recongnizes that it was her mistake why she went out, and I think its very endearing that she can just own up to her mistakes instead of trying to blame the judges. Ashley goes as far as saying that her performance was really good but her fans thought she was safe - her performance was atrocious.
