Bupsi may be memorable but lets be honest - she'll be lucky to be still around once bonfire night has been and gone?
She is a good performer but come on - who would buy her album?”
Think about it. Buspsi was his FIRST choice. Not his third. That says he was most sure of her as a choice.
That doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake. It was. But it wasn't some spur of the moment one. It was a deep rooted mistake related to him picking whoever the mob in that live audience screams the most about. He knew from past tapings who they do that for, and so those are exactly the three he chose, even though all three of them have huge negatives (Bupsi not being all that good a singer, Anton being horribly bug eyed and over the top, and Max being a charisma-free zone who the live crowd seems to be into for some strange reason, but it totally doesn't translate on TV).
