Yes, Absolutely!! Thank god they've gone! Awful singers the lot of them. I never understood why Louis put them through in the first place. I even prefer Stevi to OTY.
Thank god Only the Overrated are gone!

I think some people are confusing Over-rated with Well Liked.
OTY had a couple of really bad weeks but they can sing on good days and last three weeks have been pretty good. Of course they won't be the next Queen or Led Zeppelin but for what they are I enjoy.

They may not have been to everyones taste, but at least they didn't give me earache. In contrast Ben was dreadful tonight. I don't mind a gravelly rock voice, but I find his voice really unpleasant to listen to.
I think that Stevi probably gained a lot of the "fun" votes, which is a shame as I have never found him particularly fun or amusing. Past contestants, like Wagner, were hilarious, but Stevi just sings out of tune and waves his legs around. The only thing slightly amusing is when he wears a silly costume.”

I actually think Stevi is the first ever lol joke contestant X Factor have ever had. Wagner could actually sing as have most of the rest of the so called joke acts. In fact this was the reason I didn't like Stevi initially but I've learned to love him in time and just reading the bib reminds me why
I've also grown more fond of SKs of late and though I liked OTY more at the start I just think they are tired out, boring and the inability of any of them to actually sing was eventually depressing and very off putting.
