Not really, didn't Amelia top the votes at one point? Fanbases can be remarkably persuaded or won over.
I still think it's unfair; I mean whose to say she or any other act would have lasted this long if they'd gotten through on the judges choice or wildcard. It is pretty much giving them a free pass a quarter of the way through and to the stage where they could potentially get a slot on a nationwide tour.
