Without a shadow of a doubt they are better singers than the girls. At least four of them that is (Anton, Daniel and Keith, and I personally would also include Matt), as opposed to two of the girls who can actually sing (Nadine and Nicola).
I don't even think they were given the wrong songs as such. As a song, their first single was better than the girls. How many acts have gone wrong with the combination of Pete Waterman and a Bee Gees cover? None up until One True Voice, and their second single was a decent song.
Unfortunately, the media decided to back the girls and deride the boys and in this country of sheep that is pretty much end of story.
I can understand why Shayne only got to the last 30 boys. Even now, I would not have put him through.
