Good group of overs Jack, looking forward to seeing if any of the groups I was thinking about will make it into Kev's team

Phuong And Rasmus - I love this duo, they are so quirky and unique. Their vocals combine together brilliantly and they remind me slightly of Alphabeat although Phuong's voice has a slightly bluesy quality also, really think they can be really successful!

Audio Vixen - I love this trio, despite being a family band, they actually feel like a completely fresh group, they remind me of a modern version of The Mamas And The Papas and I can imagine them doing a really funky rendition of various songs, really excited to see how they will be received.

Mrs. Greenbird - They're amazing, their folk artistry is so unique and they remind me a bit of Bon Iver or Glen Hansard singing along with someone like Sia, they have such great tones and their harmonies are exquisite, I think they will put in some amazing performances.

Some great and creative picks from Kev there. For his wildcard options, I've decided to stay away from the obvious girlbands and boybands in favor of mixed groups. And all of these are very special mixed groups too, I hope y'all like some rap!

Lyric 145 (USA)

MK1 (UK)

J.E.M (Sweden)

Right, I do like all three acts but for me, Lyric 145 although they are great, just aren't vocally strong enough for my liking. It's between J.E.M. and MK1 but on the basis that I think that MK1 will be more original as I can find alternative covers for rapping and singing and Charlie has an amazing voice, I go for MK1!

Damn Kev you have a great line up! So glad you chose Mrs. Greenbird as I was going to choose them if I got the groups! Cannot wait to see what you so with them

Audio Vixen
MK1
Mrs. Greenbird
Phuong & Rasmus


Up next, it's bboy1988 and the girls. Stephen, please tell us the names of the three acts you've decided to pick and tell us why you picked them.

Firstly I decided to choose the beautiful and incredibly talented Jade Ellis. For me this was a no brainer, Jade is a sensational vocalist and I felt didn't get the chance to show her vocals of properly on the main show. So I thought that by choosing Jade for this series of Mix Factor, it would give me the opportunity to hopefully develop that incredibly rich tone of Jade's and hopefully show the public why Jade is amazing.

Secondly, I decided to go across the waters and decided the next member of my team would be Beatrice Miller from the US X Factor. Beatrice was a tough choice for me, as I was tempt to choose Diamond White but I knew who I wanted for my third act and I thought that Diamond and my third act would be similar so I chose Beatrice as I wanted a talented young lady who would be diversify my team. Beatrice has an incredible voice and I hope to be able to tap into her rockier edge.

Lastly I decided to go across the other side of the pond and visit Australia for my third act. So lets say hello to my third lady Angel Tupai. Angel is an inscribe vocalist and is such a powerhouse. I hope to be able to show exactly how powerful Angels voice is and also show her strength and control of her vocal talent.

(PS I hope the videos work as I am on my iPad)

There's one Girl I really want to see Steve choose!
EndOfSanity
12-11-2012
Okay, that's the standard UK - USA - AUS combination from the girls there. Time to mix it up a bit don't you think? Let's do that with some girls from the Dutch X Factor:

Sumera Espinel

Jessica Mougin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl7B3...feature=fvwrel

Danielle Penning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klRrHgvrNM4

Who's it going to be Stephen?
unclekevo
12-11-2012
Angel Tupai is exactly who I wanted to see
bboy1988
12-11-2012
I have gotta admit none of those girls really stood out to me so this was a tough decision. But I decided to take a chance with Danielle Penning

And so Danielle Penning becomes the fourth and final member of Stephen's girls.

Angel Tupai
Beatrice Miller
Danielle Penning
Jade Ellis


And for the final category, we're going over to I've Got Class and the boys!
Jess, please explain why you chose your three boys.

Kev I ment to say damm u for not taking Lyric 145 through I so so so wanted them through and when I was given the girls even chanced my arm asking if I could have Lyric Da Queen if you didn't choose them as a group

Johnny Ruffo (The X Factor Australia) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMUkzLNOnoA

I wanted an act that represented modern culture, and there’s a real market for people of Johnny’s style of performance. He unites charisma, vocals and performance and I think this makes him the perfect contender for my category.

Isak Danielsson (The X Factor Sweden) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBJk5JU7i_c

Something about Isak’s voice just makes me smile, it’s just got an excellent tone to it and it’s really exciting. He has an interesting quality to his voice and I think it really sets him apart from the competition.

James Arthur (The X Factor UK) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8N9dKmzJYI

I’m really excited about James, there’s something about him which just excites me. I understand some people dislike him, but there’s been an indie pop breakthrough lately and with the right direction and suitable songs I think he could actually do quite well.

I like two of them, not a fan of Johnny Ruffo but I'm confident Jess can convert me

Excellent picks from Jess there, but who will her wildcard be?
As a tribute to the winners of series 2, The Fireflies, her last act will be a Danish one:

Morten Benjamin

Jesper
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDn2KWAFdGE

Babou
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mCOugtyJlk

Pick one!

Love James, fantastic choice and I am not a big fan on Jonny but looking forward to see what you do, and Isak.... I mistook him for a girl!
